Ok let me add that I really want the old subscription service back! It took me 10 minutes to find this thread again! LOL
Also, when I click on a user you can no longer see their created threads. I have now manually subscribed here. I keep forgetting I have to do that now. I don’t know if we need an auto subscribe just for looking but if I post in a thread I want to do the polite thing and respond to people especially if they’re saying something in response to what I’ve said so subscribing upon adding a comment would be great.
I checked your screenshot and that’s about how mine looks too. It’s probably just a result of the “big picture” effect of increasing the text size. It’s actually amount of vertical space for every post that’s taking up so much space now in my eyes. I was wondering if that space could be “coded” into less white. For example if I don’t post anything as a signature I don’t need those extra “X” amount of lines at the bottom of my replies. Could it only expand if there is something in there? A buddy of mine knows quite a bit about PHP coding so I can run it by him too. Maybe it’s just not reasonable to do. I didn’t think the text size needed increasing but I assume that’ not popular opinion since it was worked into this upgrade. It’s just my opinion so if everyone else likes it that’s fine. Whatever the final outcome I’m here for the long haul. You run a great site here my friend.
Vastly better to have the URL gobbledygook hidden behind human-readable text! It’s supposed to be “HyperText”, after all. Maybe just not parsing URLs at all in the comment body (i.e. render them as plain text) would be easier on everybody? Then if anyone chooses to paste a URL, the reader(s) can do whatever they choose to do with it.
PS: When I Save a Post it doesn’t Subscribe me to that Thread. I Saved my account subscription settings to test, here, if that fixes the problem. BRB…
If you look at my screenshot, you’ll see that those are short one-liner posts, but the vertical space is unavoidable because the user’s name, avatar, post count, and join stats also take up vertical space.
Thanks, man. I won’t bug you about it. The new forum looks awesome!
Thanks too for dealing with all our “issues” so gracefully!! If anyone else wants the post-level Subject line back, we can get the exact same effect by just typing a Subject line at the top of the post, hitting < Enter > twice and going on with it. Mischief managed!
(PS: I always Preview. It appears typing the Left Broket (shift-comma) and a character, starts it parsing HTML. So (e.g.) to enter < Enter > surround “Enter” with spaces.)
