Honestly, I haven’t had many problems, aside from the 50-character limit on day one. I like the dark theme, navigation has been fine, no login problems, no staying logged in problems, and I LOVE the fact that just openi…

Check your profile. Scroll down to the Most Replied To list. Some of you have been here for what? 20 years? Are you surprised about who’s in your list? Below that is Top Categories. Have you been posting where you think…

Currently, we have one flagged post. Some boards remove that badge since it can sorta-kinda give away who flagged what.

I’m certain migrating the site was a crap-ton of work. Thank you for all of your hard work and valiant efforts. My initial impression of the new site was not good. “Hot garbage” was the phrase which came to mind. I b…

I notice that when I put someone on ignore, their avatar still shows up as the thread creator and on the home page. Is there a way to block these without turning avatars completely off? Two of the people on my ignore lis…

Yes, I know you can get it on your computer by mousing over where it has xxm or however long ago it was posted. But you can’t mouseover on a phone. It’s there a way to get the time and date of a particular post on your p…

I wasn’t loving the layout, then I logged in and saw a new layout, with categories & descriptions in their own rectangular box, all running down the left side. I like it.

On my IPad, it takes three full scrolls to just view the list of forums because of all the room at the top and the long forum descriptions. Even the 3 bar thingy next to user icon requires tapping “read more” to see all…

Usually, there are avatars beside the usernames of whoever’s been quoted. Those avatars flicker on, then vanish.

</div>

Pinned topics at the top of each forum are irritating as hell because they take up too much space and don’t stand out enough so are difficult to ignore. Any way to make them smaller and remove the preview text blocks?

I could swear I was over 4400 before the switchover. Now it says 4160 something. What gives?

Unless I’m not seeing it, I don’t see a way to see my actual number of posts instead of something like 4.2k. Which doesn’t ring right to me unless the program is being stupid-clever and counting a k as 1024, and even th…

Just click the little thumbtack next to the title. First thing I did was clean those up which reduces a lot of clutter.

It looks like TalkingPointsMemo uses this same software in their comments. Here’s an example thread. There’s a whole lot less white space between posts there. And a whole lot less additional distracting crap in genera…

Like others, I’m learning slowly :slight\_smile: One thing I’d really love to be able to do is take advantage of the width of my monitor to fit more text on the page. It seems that the column width is really restricted (…
