It’s good to have the forums back. Still getting used to the new forum.
Testing some italics again.
ETA: nup, that didn’t work.

Testing
Yay! We’re back!
Things I’ve noticed so far:
– Avatar / sig missing, must be reconstructed (not a huge deal)
– Quotes: posting with the number rather than the name
– Codes definitely need a walkthrough (I miss the spoiler tag for instance)
– Bold is now “strong” in the coding, interesting
– When posting there is no preview option (important for checking quotes/links/editing etc)
– When finished posting, it redirects to page 1 instead of your new post
– Latest topics doesn’t update and show the actual latest posts (not sure how often it updates but is currently showing posts from ~2 hrs ago instead of new ones)
– Can’t tell what’s been read and hasn’t
– Colors are a bit harsh on the eyes currently (that could just be me, I’m used to the old layout/color scheme where is was softer)
Not sure if I’ve missed anything so far but looking forward to that walkthrough! In the meantime I’ll keep messing around with stuff when I get a chance.
Edited to add: this time it took me straight to my new post (on page 2) but when I posted in the CS thread, it kept redirecting me to page 1 rather than 127 where the post was so not sure if it’s been fixed or is just fickle).
Edited to add again: Forgot to mention the search feature is not working. Comes up with no results.
Recent replies seems to take the place of Latest topics but that still only shows 5 things & it could be quite spoilery if you read the title of some of the threads vs just not clicking on latest topics (like before, you could avoid the forums with spoilers and just not click on new posts). Not a huge concern for me but I’m sure some would like to avoid accidentally seeing such things when spoilers start creeping in.
Edited to add again, again: The edit logger thing – any way to turn that to automatically unchecked unless we check it? I don’t really feel the need to have it checked but keep forgetting to uncheck it.

I’m with Kat on the color thing. It’s a little too bright and is making it really hard to look at for long periods of time. And most of us are here for long periods of time.
Ahh! I’ve missed this place!
When clicking on the recent posts section on the right, clicking on the thread itself takes us to page 1 and clicking on the person takes us to their profile. Any way to make it go to the most recent page of it?
Edit – seems to be working now.
Edit again – seems to be broken again. When hovering over it, it previews the message the last person wrote, but it is redirecting it to page 1 of the thread.
Latest Topics “freshness” list is scattered, some recent, some old, some very old, some recent, some old. No idea how it thinks that’s “latest” or in any kind of “freshness” order as it seems a little bizarre to me, but I don’t know how these things work.

Gonna take a while to get used to the new layout- but I’m SO HAPPY to see the boards up again…I missed this place so much!
@Obisgirl, refresh and you should see links again. I fixed that earlier today.
