oh!!! Embedded video! I like!

 

Also, kinda weird seeing the avatars and stuff on the right side of the page instead of the left.

If we're still doing requests, finding a way to embed tweets would be really useful. Looks like it's possible: http://punyweakling.com/add-a-tweet-bbcode-for-a-phpbb-forum/

it's doing this thing for me where a person's sig is faded until it is in the middle of the screen.

[Guest]

Alright...I'm off to get some other work done. I'll do more work on this later.

[UMFan83]

I see there are notifications...do you get a notification when someone quotes a post of yours like RealGM? That would be cool.

dunno. I've quoted you. did you get a notification?

 

Nope. I'm sure there's a way to set it that way. The forum looks to be the same version as RealGMs

If you are a prosilver person, it should be nearly the same.

 

If you're a subsilver person and haven't switched back, I've posted instructions twice.

 

If you're just being Derwood, then carry on.

I'm talking about being stuck at one size and not being able to zoom in or out. I'm talking about former buttons/links no longer being there. Little things but annoying ones

He's definitely being Derwood. The only thing I would think to complain about on mobile is when making a post all the smilies and different formatting options are all spewed out at the top so you have to scroll down a bit to write your message. But other than that it's great.

I'm able to zoom in/out just fine...

when you say it won't work, what do you mean? Because all the permissions I look up for you say that you can use sigs.

Can you be specific?

Switching to subsilver did help some. It's still annoying that there is no link back to the last subforum you were in at the bottom of the page (or after the last post), only at the top of the page

There's now a floating "Scroll to Top" button in the lower right corner if you're not at the top of the page.

Interesting thought...I'm not sure how I would set that up through the software.

[Guest]

BTW - if you go to the user control panel, there's an option there for notification settings. By default, you should get notified when someone quotes one of your posts.

I'm glad someone is happy!

[Guest]

I'm sure happy, thanks for the hard work Tim!

 

If there's one thing that I don't like, it's the Similar Topics at the bottom of each thread page. Seems like that's not a terribly useful feature for the type of forum this is. Trivial to skip past though.
