IMHO, it’s no longer a message board. A little too fast-moving to read leisurely … always feeling a step behind when seeing a bunch of posts just pop up at the bottom. … Younger netizens find this superior to pre-social-media message boards? For real? Interesting. ---

I don’t see anyone typing…just my own. WTH? ETA: thought I was replying to the thread but instead I replied to Beck’s post. huh. well, it’s a learning curve. 👼 ---

I’m sort of here I guess. My old username was markn+. It replaced the + with \_ as expected, but it also didn’t like a name that ends with an underscore, so now I’m named markn\_1. Or someone is. I’m not sure if I’m me or not. ---

And when you quote someone, their quote doesn’t appear with your new post. Yikes. ---

@JohnT, I think they are working to fix the quote tags. Tuba mentioned they were broken for now. ---

What an unpleasant change. Maybe this was the push I needed to quit this board, now that reading is so difficult and the page is busy with crap that I don’t want to see. We’ll see, but my hopes are not high. ---

Huh. I’m here, if anyone cares. It looks like it’s autosaving the post as I write. I’ll give the looks a few days before I comment on that. ---

Woot, I’m in! Wow, this looks weird. And I see what I’m typing twice, simultaneously in two places – I can’t think of anything useful about that. However, it seems to be working – aha. I clicked on “hide preview” and the double typing went away. But the reply window’s now hanging half over some part of somebody else’s post. And those icons at the top of the window keep blinking around, which is distracting. Oh well, I suppose I’ll get used to it. ---

That will help some. The pace is too different. The experience is too different. I’ve been on several boards that went through what were considered major software changes. This is by far the most jarring. No contest. ---

I’m here. It will take a while to decide what is just going to take a bit of getting used to and what is in need of fixing. When will the trydiscourse part of the url go away? What’s the best theme to use? I’m trying Vincent, which is a dark theme. Not sure if it makes things more readable or not. ---

I clicked on a link that said “Log in with email.” I checked my email and there was a link to click that brought me back here and I was logged in. I didn’t even have to type my password. ---
