One immediate comment is that font size is much large.

Can you change my username to either [AFX] or AFX? My original was [AFX] but this forum doesn't like the [ and ].

Glad to see the forum back up and running (again).
Let's hope there are no more hiccups lurking around. :)
Thanks for keeping the eeeuser forum alive!

First time I've visited the forum in months. I stopped by to see if page loads still took 5 minutes.

Performance has improved a million times! Pages load snappy and instantly!

On the s-u-g-g-e-stions side I miss the colour scheme and compact layout of the old site (though I know forum software as a whole seem to be following the industry trend of adding as much eye candy as possible)

Also, horizontal scrolling is required on the 800 pixel wide 701. :(

Happy to see you all here again!

Weeeee! Even though I no longer have a Eee, but you never know, I still can't leave this board behind.

Feedback: Font and layout take a lot of space. On a 10" screen you have to scroll the touchpad four or five times to get from the top of a page to the bottom. ^.^ (But I'm just nitpicking)

Have to scroll sideways on my 10" Eee.

Edit: aaah nevermind. Had to reset the zoom settings back to normal in my browser.

The forum layout is fine for me. It is both unique and intuitive.

However, I find I can't post in the "Reply to this topic" window because it won't pick up the characters I type.
I have to click on "More Reply Options", then click on "Toggle editing mode"

I have tried with both Firefox and Opera and both act the same.
I doubt I have missed a setting anywhere.
I don't have this problem on any other forum, including other forums running IP Board.
Here is a link to one of them.

Also, when editing a post, the "Use Full Editor" and "Cancel" buttons are inoperative.
The "Save Changes" button works, but I stay on the editing window instead of being taken back to the edited post.
But if I hit the browser's refresh button, it will go back.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, we can add avatars at last! How long ago was it that I requested that? Several years I think. Better late than never (and I really should get a better one!)

"Hey, we can add avatars at last!"

Not an improvement. just space-wasting eye candy which adds nothing to the value of a post.

Nice to have the Forum going again. The old more compressed format made it easier to look for new messages.

I opened the 901 forum and clicked "View New Content" and got new content for ALL forums, on the old forum I had saved a link that with one click gave me New Content AND only of the 901 forum. Please make that possible again.

Within the 901 Forum (or any other) there is a link on the top left side for "Recently Updated" among others plus there is a Custom filter.
That should give you what you are looking for.

Can we get back the option to delete our own posts?

Btw, can't log in with dolphin browser on Android. Though Opera works...

Just in case it's been forgotten...

Can we get back the ability to delete our own posts?

Btw, do we really need a word filter? It's getting pretty annoying asterisking some pretty common words. S*s (S-t-a-t-u-s), S*esting (Su-gg-esting), etc.
