From the Profile, it took me some time to get back to the main page.

I've got a dozen posts and it takes up awlmost two screens.

Do you see it too? Is this supposed to be like this or should it have been completely deleted?

Can we delete posts or only mods can (like in the old forum)?

If so, will there be "hidden" sub-forums/threads, available only after a ertain post count?

Will there be sub-forums (Victorinox, Leatherman, Fixed blades, etc.)? If so, will they be mod created or can anyone create them? Rather the previous than the latter.

This is important. We used to say that coders don't comment (if it was hard to code, it should be hard to read). Not anymore. Place notes about everything important and other places it's related to, that's a huge help when/if you need to change anything.

p.s.: the new quoting method is not very user friendly, needing a > in every line. The very slight shadowy background awlso doesn't make the quoted message stand out as much as it might/should/could...

Those are the goals.

I had started by modifying an existing theme until I got close to what I wanted it to look like, then decided to create a custom theme instead.

I build the new theme and fought with a few settings, only to realize the old theme mods were still in place. #facepalm.

Currently I am working on removing any duplication between the theme I created and the custom CSS/Header/JS that modifies the theme so I can remove the custom mods and just have the theme.

I am also trying to clean the code and organize the changes so that when we have issues with something five years from now, we will be able to find things quickly and easily.

Once I have all of that stuff sorted out I will come back and start dealing with the smiley box, colors, widths and other visual issues.

The next step after that is to try rebuilding a few modules like the Treasury, and one that allows us to keep using standard BBCode like the [img][/img] tags you have discovered don't work yet.

And, at some point, there will be the SMF import, but that will probably mean shutting the forum down, pulling a backup, using the importer module specifically designed for SMF and then a whole pile of cleanup and config once that is here.

And at some point, the MTO specific smileys all need to be imported and I doubt they will come with the rest of the import.....

Dark Mode colors are shit. I know that much already.

Yup, they should be smurf, though...

Awlso, it doesn't show any pics. Trying to replicate my MTo flag and it doesn't work.

Any chance of having it working like in the old site? Adapting the size to the text?

I see the editing window has been kept:
You are only allowed to edit posts for 300 second(s) after posting

Awlso tried to remove my #2 post but couldn't, despite getting a message that I did.
