Credit to Vincent for first finding this bug

Description:
The bug occurs when a user deletes their post and clicks the confirmation button, and is then given a message that says "The post was successfully deleted. Redirecting you now..." However, the message does not trigger a redirection prompt, and leaves the user waiting until they realize they need to refresh the page.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to bforborum.com.
2. Log into user's account.
3. Click "Latest Questions". Alternatively, click "Ask a Question".
4. Click an existing question and write a comment on it. Alternatively, write a question and post it.
5. Click "delete" under the comment and confirm deletion. Alternatively, click "delete" under the question and confirm deletion.
6. See bug,

Expected Behavior:
The expected result is a redirection from the deletion screen back to the "Home" page or the "Latest Questions" page.

The image of the "U" is not very user-friendly. One does not know for what the U stands and why it isn't the first letter of their entered name and such.

Describe the solution you'd like
Change the U to be the first letter of the first name that the user entered for their account if they have not uploaded a profile picture yet.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use a consistent, more user-friendly image

Additional context
Here is one example of the alternative described:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Log in
2. Go to Settings
3. Click Delete Account
4. Click Delete my Account
5. See error - in top right corner you still see a profile picture

Expected behavior
The user should be sent to log out after it says "the user has been deleted" which itself should change to "Your account has been deleted." This redirection should occur through a JavaScript setTimeout function.

Most Q & A Website that are popular, secure, and trusted have a search bar at the top. Borum should also be a website with a search bar at the top on the Latest Questions page that searches for the questions. A starter for this should be, that when they press enter, it sends what they typed to the url as a query string, and then this is accessed using $_GET to be injected into an SQL statement (after everything is sanitized) using BOOLEAN FULLTEXT search.

There should be a delete button/link and edit button/link under every question and answer that only shows for the post author.

Enhancement

This allows people to fix mistakes in their question or completely remove their answer or question if they deem it necessary.

Self explanatory

Feature Request

Add an option for a tag, or let the user choose a category

Borum is a cybersecurity project in essence. However, it is also an impactful website with a caring community. Web design is very important to any website, and the interface for Borum is lacking, to say the least. Attractive web design encourages viewers to see more of the site, and an easy and creative layout helps make the experience all that much better. Borum needs to have a more vibrant design, as well as a more unique layout. This would make the Q&A site a rival to, say, Quora's fantastic layout.

I'm always frustrated when a fellow Borum user forgets his or her password. It pains me to see him or her create a new account because he or she cannot just reset his or her password. There is currently a link in the Login page, but it does not work. In version 0.13.1, please fix all prominent bugs related to the resetting of a user's password.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please complete the functionality for resetting one's password through email. The user should get an email, click the link, fill out their new password, and then immediately be able to log in.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have not considered any alternatives.

Additional context

is the page I am talking about

Feature
Add a comment section to questions and answers alike. This will give people more chances to talk on the site which in turn gives the site more traffic.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are no alternatives because we cannot contact the other person unless through an answer.

Additional context
I would like an interface like Stack Overflow's:

I would like three new subdomains:
weather.bforborum.com - called Borum Weather
news.bforborum.com - called Borum News
meta.bforborum.com - called the meta site

Borum Weather should display the weather using the Weather Underground API and HTTP Requests
Borum News should display the latest news with links to news stories using Twitter API
The meta site should look just like the main site, but there should be a clear indication what it is about

When a user asks a question, there should DEFINITELY be a mechanic for answering the question.

When checking the emailed account verification for Borum, the accompanying verification link doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to bforborum.com
2. Click on sign up and create an account
3. Check inputted email's "spam" category
4. Open Borum verification link
5. See error

The verification link is supposed to appear in the email to be able to verify the account,

Interesting questions page would be a unique, out-of-the-box page for questions personalized to the user. It will be based on what tags the user is following, and tags the user commonly votes up.

Describe the solution you'd like
The page, which is linked from the sidebar, should be set up similar to the currently named "Latest Questions" page.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Incorporate this into the currently named "Latest Questions" page.

I'm always frustrated when I have to check every part of the website in order to find whether somebody has replied to a post of mine or voted on it. I wish there was an easier way to check this.

Preferably, I would like a notification menu at the top which shows all answers to a question a logged in user posted and who voted what on any of his or her posts. This should link to that post's question page. The notifications could cover other things such as, in the future, if a topic proposal was approved, or somebody commented on a post. The notification menu should appear as a bell, but when you click it, the menu pops up. Additionally, there should be a badge in the corner of the notification bell. This badge should tell the user how many unread notifications he or she has.

An alternative solution would be to use email as the source of notifications. The problem with this, although it is more likely to alert them, may get annoying because lots of notifications at once

When you are not signed into your Borum account, you can still view topics started by other users. But, the commenting feature is supposedly disabled. When you try to comment while not signed in, nothing happened. This can be quite confusing for some users.

The console should give an error message prompting the user to sign in before commenting when clicking the comment button while not signed in.

Describe the bug
In dark mode, the page flashes in light mode

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Log in
2. Turn on dark mode if you have not already
3. Refresh
4. See error

Expected behavior
No flash, just dark mode.

Screenshots
I would take a screenshot, but that would be extremely difficult to capture a millisecond, and I am too lazy to take a video.

Additional context
Borum may be sued for causing seizures?

I'm always frustrated when I cannot do the same tasks on a phone that I can on my computer.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a clean new interface for mobile devices that lets me log in and out as well as ask questions and search.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the "Request desktop site" feature on many mobile browsers.

Additional context
Make this regular size again!
