Sigs are not automatic.

For a few minutes after the upgrade, they were, but that’s been corrected.

It looks like code tags just put you into mono-spaced font, so things like indenting line up. I don’t think it’s for executing code.

Since the new software has been operating I am no longer returned to second level (the thread index) after I make a post. I am lost in space at the end of the thread. Help?

Before the upgrade you were returned to the forum list, now you’re returned to the thread where you made your post.

In our history here at the Straight Dope, we’ve had it different ways and each way has its fans.

I dunno if we can change it back. I dunno if we want to.

Comments, anyone?

Frankly, it’s not a big concern of mine. But, now that we’ve the ability to preview for QC, I don’t see the need to go back to the thread; I will be the last poster and I _know_ what I just said (of course, if you’ve been reading a thread for 10 minutes, it doesn’t hurt to refresh before you reply - your zinger may have been freshly supplied by another as you read).
