I'm working on a thread that is long simply because the subject matter is long and detailed. I don't know all the other threads on the site but I'd rather have the OP be as informative as possible with all the information present than to make a half-assed OP and half the information isn't archived/present.
I kind of gathered that XenForo 2 will bring some elements of the wiki into OPs but these are my suggestions anyway...
The other thing that would be real nice is to have a way to click an image that's already within the editor and choose the presented size (small/medium/large). I see a lot of people pasting giant images (myself included) and once you have an OP with 20+ images its difficult to find the original image and requires a lot of manual formatting and shit.
As Xenforo 2 might take time (I'm guessing the wiki integration would) the biggest feature request I can make is the Headers/Table of Contents/Anchors so that sections of the OP are collapsible in a way which doesn't involve using spoilers or quotes because they cause huge problems.

- Headers (H1/H2)
- Adding standardized headers rather than having to manually change font size/bold/underline would make complicated posts a lot more easy for users to do.
- By this I mean you might have your heading of each section (intro/person A) have Header A which is Bold / size 6 by default. Then your subheading might be Bold / Size 5 by default.
- It takes a lot of time to format each heading/subheading and having H1/H2 would make things easier
- Anchors
- UBB doesn't allow anchors by default but I've seen fairly simple plugins that allow it (its a standard HTML feature). This would allow complex OPs to have a table of contents where users can just click each heading/subheading they're interested in.
- Also linking directly to a subheading/section of an OP for later posts would be a lot easier rather than just saying "its in the fucking 6000 word OP nigga read it"
