New Board Features

[Richie O]

Hello everyone,

As you can see we have new message boards. I know the first impression for everything is to be skeptical, but I suggest giving it a chance, also the dark mode is amazing! This is something rivals has had coming for a while. Keep this post for message board bashing as well as for questions.

New Features

• Native emoji support
  • Use real emojis in thread titles and post content from your favorite device
• Light / Dark style themes
• User-selectable font scaling
• Modernized profile popups / pages
  • Mouse-over (or tap on mobile) usernames to see new User Profile card
  • Click/tap on card name to go to new User Profile page
• Unread alert & conversation icon/count in browser tabs
  • Number of unread alerts/conversation messages in title text
  • A red dot over the tab icon indicates at least one unread item
• "What’s New" content menu
  • New forum navigation menu with additional ways to find new and unread threads and posts
• Automatic url summary blocks
  • Pasting in a url (that isn't an embed) into a post will auto-create a box with title, thumbnail, and summary (if available from the destination)
• "Quick Thread" new thread tool
  • A new box at the top of the thread list for quickly typing in a title and composing a new thread all at once without leaving the page

And SEARCH works again!

It was working before the change to the new boards, I used it daily, it just didn't look very far back in time.

They just re-indexed the search function (whatever that means) and now I think it goes back to 2017.

Is there any way to reduce image sizes in the signature sections?

Going to ask about that now.

Yeah, I think it only went back to the date search stopped working. One day search just stopped working entirely.... and then you could only search for new threads created from that point onward.

Glad to see it expanded to 2017.

I don't get it. I signed in using my Nickname Scarlet Blind and password for the site. This wrong nickname and the wrong email is attached to my account details now with no history even though password and security match.

Please email the new username that pops up when you sign in and what your old username was, I will get this fixed ASAP.
