New forum layout!

[dr wogz]

Not sure how many of you noticed the new format of the forums, but they've changed!

• Some subtle changes, and one larger one:
• the text window is slightly different in look, and the menu bar slightly altered
• the alarms / notices are no longer greyed out once viewed
• add pics no longer has that box at the bottom, where you could pick full size / thumbnail (I liked that one..)
• Able to add tags to posts / start of a thread! Nice!!
• "Inline Spoiler" I assume this is for spoilers & such..

And the biggest addition is at the bottom of the thread: "Similar posts"! Each thread now suggests other "similar posts" you may be interested in. Mind you these are funny, as some have little to do with the thread / posts!


Great work you guys!

I noticed the site was unavailable briefly yesterday but hadn't noticed the changes. Thanks for the recap!

Yes you can. The controls are now overlaid onto the square preview image. Upper left you can click on "Insert..." to select Thumbnail or Full sized; upper right is "Delete". E.g.:

The notification change from bold thread titles to a small blue dot that only appears when you hover over it is a step back for me.

Thanks Neil, haven't fully explored all the features & such..

Just noticed this. Tags have been there for a long time... have you specifically noticed something new?

maybe / maybe not, I rarely make "new" posts so 'new to me'!

That part I hate. The rest I can deal with. But now I have to scroll past all the bs to get to the bottom navigation links. If they would put the navigation links above that crap, I’d be fine. But I’m sure it has to do with gathering clicks or data or some such bs.
Cripes. Now I’m starting to sound like @jimzcatz
