Gonna need theme options. I can imagine opening this in the dark and getting blinded by the light.

I have a custom black background for the old site that does not work well at all for this site. Can't see first new post button, Alert bell and comment balloon among other things. Oh well, that's life I suppose.

Made report to support forum that search isn't working. (Had to slog through a few pages to find thread to add post to this evening.)

Nemesis and Slo and any other mod here,

What’s a good way to provide feedback and suggestions. I’m sure buffalod is taking a ton of requests and I don’t want to come across as overwhelming. I did have a couple so far:

1) the alert bar just shows a dot. Can it show the number in a box instead. It would show likes and quote notifications and having it be a number format is a lot more helpful.

2) some posts have been deleted. Would like to know if they will be back.

3) words are being overly censored. Not sure if that is intentional.

4) some things you have to double tap like alerts and watched forums. I think it’s because there is supposed to be a box that comes down (hence the arrow) and it’s not doing so

I might have more but like I said I don’t want to overwhelm him.

Here is the support forum

I am just as confused as you guys/gals are. It will take some time to get used to.

The thing about the support forum is it only shows what your own posts and no one else’s. Basically you can ask a question that has been asked several times and not even know it.

Sorry we can't be of more help, but feel free to post any of your questions in here for now and we can try to pass them on.
A couple of your points were already asked by other mods.

That is true that you can't see what other questions people have asked.

Like WTFetus said, just post in here any questions/comments/concerns you have.

Awesome. I also posted in the support forum in a thread I started a month ago. Figured instead of starting a new one just use one of the other ones.

Migration isn't fully complete, and there MAY be a loss of posts for the last couple of days. These things happen. Patience, please.

I'm going to give it a couple of days before I start to even think about features.

I don't like the color or the layout on the index/sub-forum indexes.

I do really like the like feature on posts. I've wanted one for quite a while.

I noticed in another thread that a swear word that I typed was unfiltered. Not sure if swearing is permitted here or not. Back when it was filtered, I didn't watch what I typed, as I knew the filter would take care of that.:D

I’m glad it was done now and not a week from now when the season starts.

Right? This thing has been "in the works" for years. Years. I'm just happy I can log in right now. :laugh:

If the shit isn't asterisked, then you aren't breaking a rule. ;)

It asks that you upload an avatar of AT LEAST 200x200, but reduces it to 96x96 :laugh:

I don't even get the 150x150 for being a sponsor :rant*reallymad*rant:

:sarcasm:

Also, for anyone that wants to tinker with the new setup, post writing space, tags, features, bells & whistles, go ahead and use this thread to do so.

I hope that's just a quirk of porting data over from the old boards. If there are no more gif avatars, period that's gonna suuuuuuuuck. Though already the downsized 96x96 display size is kind crappy. How am I supposed to do good, detailed work if I've just lost 23% of my display space?

HF: she is a cruel mistress, non?
