Fixing the annoying floating footer now (hopefully) and then putting the light/dark switch on every page so you don't have to open threads to find it.

Let's see how the quoting looks like now.

Kinda weird. You get a small font line with the initial part of the post quoted on top and then the full quoted post below.

Isn't it a waste of space?

These links in the main page are not working:
Community Links
Multitool.Org
EDC-TV

Awlso, the copy/paste kept the Multitool.Org link but lost the EDC-TV (*)

I keep having to log back in. Isn't there a "keep logged in" feature we (you) could enable?

(*) think I figured it out. Having a xxx.Org (maybe awlso a xxx.Com, xxx.Edu and so on automatically creates a link function on the string).

Following last post's editing test, I'll add myself as an editor and see if it does anything...

We can see the posts' revisions but can't chose/restore any previous version (only 300 to edit the post). Does it make sense to have this feature or is it by default?

Can the time for editing a post be changed, to a different/higher value?

Update: just added @defender as an editor to this post. Does this mean he can edit it at any time, even after the 300 seconds limit?

New image insert test:

There's a new feature, the possibility of having an image in your profile, besides the avatar.

It's just that the dimensions/format are quite weird (wide ultra panoramic) and not very easy to fit a nice image into.

The users avatar/info take up a lot of space. Any chance of making it smaller, blending more into the post, like in the old forum?

Weird thing: just clicked on SteveC's username. Got sent to his profile page but this message box was still visible/working.

Discovered that in Night mode the quoted posts are even less visible/noticeable.

Reputation.

I keep getting a message saying I need 3 reputation to post in less than 120 seconds intervals.

How the smurf do I get reputation?! I thought I had reputation! Does it have to be good reputation?! Smurf, I'm not going to ever be able to post in less than 120 seconds intervals.

Over the posts, you can see "pfrsantos wrote 18 minutes ago". Hovering over the user name gets you a link to the user profile and hovering over the XX minutes ago shows you the date/time.

I think I prefer the old way. It's quicker/easier to know the post original date/time.

Ok, it makes a new thread, unrelated to the one I was replying to.

It shows the post number in the thread, but the initial post does not seem to count. It has no number and the first post after it is #1.

The bottom bar is over my text window, I need to scroll to get it out of the way. I don't really like this. I prefer the old text window way, where the rest of the page was static.

Re: Pfrsantos little corner of complaints

What does Reply as Topic do different from the plain Reply, I wonder?...

Auto tagging the previous post is still happening as well which is slightly annoying.

Yes, it happens when you hit reply on a post. It doesn't if you hit the generic thread Reply button.

Anyone want to buy a biologically accurate model of a potato?

Accurate or not, I'm not for sale!

I miss an always visible quick menu bar to take me back to the main page and to access the main options/menu.

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

In our profile, when viewing the posts, maybe just show the thread link instead of the entire post?

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

My #2 post (#3 in this thread) appears to have been deleted (no options available to quote/reply) but I can still see it.

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)?

I've seen we still have post count under our avatars. Will there be groups/ranks, as 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.

Those are the goals.

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.

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...

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

Yup, they should be smurf, though...

Signature space seems really big (no, it wasn't her who said it, it's me). In some cases, it's bigger than the post itself. It could be wasting screen space.

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?
