New Forum Software

I’m going to blame the 3 day old migraine I’m trying to think through… yah, that’s it.

@sudburr I agree that it’s a change and a large change at that.

What I love most about this forum over the old, beyond that we can keep updating it as it’s 100% free and opensource just like FOG is, is that it’s user customizable. We may setup defaults, but those defaults do NOT need to be what you must always follow.

I actually find the

A - Original post

very much handy. Of course what I like isn’t what everyone is going to like. I enabled pagination simply because others are more comfortable with that style. The sorting is totally up to you, and even the pagination system is totally up to you.

I’ve gotten used to how the posts are organized.

I strongly dislike how search is performing.

[sudburr]

Okay, I’m now warming to the view style. I’ve set oldest > newest … and it is thankfully became a universal setting once I finished reading through every single thread I had already opened.

The top level topic and downstream topic screens I’m not so crazy about; but then I’m bypassing that altogether for reading by going straight to the unread instead.

I really, REALLY miss the ability to edit a post after posting.

You can still edit a post. Click the three dots on the right of your post and click Edit.

Aha! Thanx Jbob. I swear I clicked on it before and it gave me a `you can not upvote your own posts’. I must have slipped onto the ^ voting symbol.
