Here but wouldn’t expect a soul to notice either way quite frankly. I like the Vincent interface so thanks for that.

So I went to reply to this to say that I could see you typing your reply (it tells us who’s actively composing a post) which was cool. But AFAICT hitting “reply” on a post does not automatically start my post with yours, like the old board did. THAT is going to take some getting used to.

Go up to **AHunter’s** posts in this thread – he explains how to get embedded quotes in replies.

I agree. I mentioned this in the fix-it thread. Hopefully others will want this fix, too.

Did anyone else get kicked off the forum a few minutes ago and have to log back in?

I just got in having resolved issues with my password.

This place will take some getting used to as it looks kinda weird.

I backed out of the site and came back in fresh. Had I stayed put, it probably would have auto-logged me back in.

And so it begins. I note we now need at least 20 characters. So much for pithy comments.

> 20 characters might be hard in some thread games. We might have to figure a work around

On snopes, we used to add “and characters”.  
– I thought that replies were supposed to follow you around while you read the rest of the thread. But the reply covers too much of the window to easily read the rest of the thread. And if I click the down arrow the reply window disappears and I can’t figure out how to get it back.

Maybe I need to type something into the reply window first? – yes, that’s the trick! then there’s a blue bar that remains at the bottom after I click the down arrow, and that brings it back up.

Maybe I should take the tutorial? Anybody know where it is?

A little more than pith, yet less than pined. Or something. That was a bit Shaky.
