Continuing the discussion from [I'm Here! Are you?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-here-are-you/911047):

Gotta admit, this is going to take some getting used to. But I think we all will!

Well, I did it as well. I’ve always eschewed avatars, but the layout here almost demands their use. So Tilly it is. RIP.

The site requires you to participate (=post) before you can be considered a member.

I’m still in the process of figuring out many things, but I like it so far. Especially the responsiveness of the server, and let’s not forget that this was the reason for the move.

Some things I’m still confused about:

When I first entered the new site there were like buttons. They seem to have vanished. Was that a deliberate action (not that I mind, I like the board better without likes)

It was mentioned many times in this thread that the we have to post minimal 20 characters. But there were some posts in this thread that had fewer than 20. Has this been fixed?

Many wrote about emojis. I didn’t see any in this thread. So this is my smilie test: 😀 😉 🤪 😜

Some people posted inline pictures. I couldn’t see them. Also, in other threads, I have seen both youtube-links that were inline and some only text. What’s the difference?

I see the smilies you tested. You can code them or drag. I’m using the ones built in my device.  
I think they changed the 20 character thing.

They disabled the pix for now, I believe.

I’ve always wondered why you didn’t use that logo in the first place for your avatar. Or maybe a [picture of this guy](https://tmssl.akamaized.net/images/portrait/header/3139-1459504284.jpg?lm=1459504328)?

I don’t see them. Must be an issue with my browser (Chrome on Windows 10).

And location would be fine, like in the old sultan’s theme.
