So I figured I'd chime in here as far as a mechanical keyboard user as well as an avid gamer. First and foremost the only reason why gamers prefer mechanical keyboards over membrane keyboards is because most membrane based keyboards are not able to register key presses in the same way and in fact ignore anything after the first 5 key presses until one is executed and also because a membrane keyboard cannot recognize two key presses at the same time. (You want proof play or read reviews on the game ALEA... The game is literally unplayable without a mechanical keyboard). That being said it's all about preference. ALL mechanical keyboards have the nice physical response that you would want. Think old age typewriter and that satisfying feel of the key hitting where it's supposed to. The "color" as it were is more for how loud it is less for the way it works. It does also mean how hard you have to press it etc but it's still a preference thing here. As a gamer I use the Razer Black Widow. They have custom mechanical keyboard key colors colors. I use Razer Greens which are basically Cherry MX Blue's (from my understanding). I'll be honest. I had went from a laptop to a desktop using a membrane keyboard and I swore to my boyfriend that I would hate a mechanical keyboard because 'Whoa is me' it would be so horrible. Once I got into my groove? No issues. In fact I type more accurately, faster and more happily. I have to look at my keyboard far less and I am happily annoying anyone else in the room. In fact my BF has to ask me to stop typing a lot of the times just to stop hearing the clickety clack. I definitely think their are advantages to mechanical keyboards. Namely: Physical key press response (and audible depending on the color you use/get). Ability for it to register all key presses, not a set amount. Ability to recognize 2+ key presses as being simultaneous. Are they for everyone? No. Will they help you in typing? Maybe.... To you @Midnight Modding as far as relearning how to type. I don't know if there is an instructional course. Really you just need to set your fingers over the four keys and start working on changing your standard methods. I recognize where my fingers go by the way they feel on my mechanical. I don't know of a course in the world that can teach you to go from two fingers to ten fingers without active thought put into it.

@MikeChristopher I suggested that too:

I'll be honest I don't have a preference either way. My site is too large for fluid view to really work (at least my main site). I doubt for my smaller site that it will be necessary either as I don't plan to have that many pinned topics.

Similar to the new update to blogs I think that there should be a way for club owners to add a few of the mentioned widgets in my other post to their sidebar themselves that should above the existing sidebar for the section the person is in.

So I find the club widgets lacking! I feel to really engage someone to participate in their club these widgets should be implemented. SO here I go to start to explain widgets that I think are needed: The Club activity should be a widget that you can drag and drop anywhere so you can have that on more than the club page. Who's online in my clubs. Similar to the who's online list but has a list of members online that are in the members clubs only. Possibly with the number of clubs they have in common in parenthesis afterward so they can know how many clubs they have in common. Gallery, blog, downloads etc widgets that will only show recent club items. With this I think that the member should have options on what clubs show up in these feeds from some clubs settings in their account settings. So if I'm a part of 30 clubs (for an example) but I really need to see what's new in 1-3 of them I can control that is all I see in these widgets. Yes I'm aware we can use an activity stream (which is fabulous) but I'm looking for something more in your face and (for images and whatnot) more visually appealing than an activity stream.

It doesn't show the notifications of linked accounts on a parent account as there is no official parent child relationship as the person is looking for.

Being that IPB technically doesn't support multiple accounts this will not be core. You may want to see if a developer can do that for you @Hunter Holmes

If you use the member search function (as @Hunter Holmes states) you can prune everyone fitting a certain criteria. You just have to make sure that you aren't deleting anyone valid.

This is the same for any app @Vikestart I doubt they will change the functionality just for one app.

I use it and it's amazing! I love it to death! Yes it's still perfectly functional in 4.2

I have a site that will have downloads that even support items could be benefited from this. Because some resources that my members make would be supported free or not but if the person is willing to donate to the creator this would be awesome as they could pay for it and show their support for it. There are even mods on here that are free that if they were pay what you want I would donate 1-5 dollars just because they helped my site grow. It may not even be something complicated. I would also donate more to some projects. I know that I would donate more for the discord integration app because of how well that app has worked for my community.

I'll be honest, I don't want this. I like to select my reaction from the reaction menu and I want to see who reacted from the 'reacted" list. If I clicked on that and it would react it would be disastrous for me as I may not agree with that reaction but I want to see who reacted that way to understand the context. I've never experienced what you describe Nick and I feel it would be detrimental overall.

This is where admin approval comes in @Ocean West

I believe the start club button should be int he same place as the "Start Topic" or "add" button as with everywhere else. It should not be in the sidebar. It breaks the symmetry.
