Sounds on the forums? (Discord repost.) - OssieTheOstrich - 11-11-2018
This is a small and minor suggestion, but can sounds be added to the forums?
Like, when you give a 1up to a post, the Extra Life sound plays.
Or when you receive a notification, the Coin sound plays.
The sounds could change depending on the skin the user is having. (e.g: I'm in the Mega Man skin at the moment, so pressing the 1up will give the Mega Man extra life sfx.)
This could make the forums a little less quite and boring.

I love this idea in theory (as long as there's a way to disable it, of course). It would be a lot of fun to have the 1-Up sound play if you 1-Upped a post, for example.
There'd be two steps in turning this idea into a reality:
1. First of all, we'd need to find, edit, and upload sound effects for each action that needs a sound effect. We'd want to make sure they were compressed to achieve respectable sound quality and a low file size. Having some skin-specific sound effects would be extra-awesome, although that would obviously make this step more complex.
2. Then we'd need to find a way to implement this system. I'm not sure if there are any plugins for MyBB sound effects. I'm sure there's someone who knows more about the technical details of this.
This system could be tricky to implement, but if you know of a way to implement this system in a way that's scalable and doesn't have a significant adverse effect on forum performance, then I'm all for it.

If such a system were to be implemented, I would also like a feature for it to be toggled off, while I think it's a neat feature, its not something I would really like to have personally.
