The confusion with Latest Topics / Recent Replies is going to take some adjusting. I loved going to “New Posts” to see what I was missing from recent stuff, and only seeing the most recent 5 posts in the box on the right is going to cause some problems I think.
One being that you miss a lot of stuff because you don’t know that other stuff is recent (still not sure how to tell which posts have been read and which haven’t in just looking at the boards – I’m guessing the color changes etc will help with that?
The other is the titles of the threads. Once we get into spoiler stuff in the coming weeks, people will have to ignore that box entirely to not accidentally read anything spoilery.
Looking forward to the codes working better and making more sense for those of us who don’t do much coding! Glad to hear that the old spoiler in brackets works (though I miss that button for sure!) as well as being able to preview posts. All of it will take some getting used to but hopefully we’ll all have adjusted by the time things really ramp up in the coming weeks and into the fall!
Thanks so much Daniel (and all the people who helped copy links as well). I’m sure this is a massive job but I’m happy about the chat and embedded tweets features, and I’m sure I’ll learn how to work the rest of it eventually. Love these forums and so glad they’re back!
