Where da Front Page at?

[Ishmael]

Never mind...!

Suddenly I'm seeing ads here, even with Adblock. 

Nice. But, as nearly as I can make out there's no way to edit the markup. That's going to make responding to long quotes one section at a time hard. Doing responses inside quotes in different colors gets unreadable fast. I suppose we can cut from the quote and paste into new quotes with the new editor. That's not elegant.

Not elegant at all. Where's the "More Reply Options" page gone? That used to be the easiest way to trim quotes.

we are on it - there are a lot of changes to incorporate. do you guys like the new forum otherwise?

Dunno yet.

What was the logic and motivation for the change ?

On PC I think it's fine, on mobile I hate how the main forum pages display, preferred the old style, but once viewing specific threads I like it.

Stupid nit picking shit I know ☺

In addition, when you quote someone, the quote boxes from others don't show up. How the hell are you supposed to keep track of a conversation when you only have the last quote showing?

Fail.

the moderator warning text at the top of every page is annoying. the sparse look is ok.

All is right with the world!

Just like before Trump!

Laptop with Win 10 and Chromebook = yes

Desktop with XP = no.    Hey, it still works so am still using it. 

edit: I reduced the font size and now the home button is there.  For some reason fonts came up bigly

I find it hard on the eyes. Too white for me.

So I have a desktop, a laptop and a Chromebook all running FF and there is no link to the mythical FP. Of course I have only been using computers since the 80's so I might not have any idea what I am doing. 

And that's a good thing.

there is no front page. let me repeat...there is no front page.

the front page is like a unicorn. you hear about it, but nobody ever sees it.

So.. The front fell off. What's new?

Quite possibly the best upgrade in SA history.

Was it just me or did everyone's display names reset? I prefer to go by the HFC handle rather than login name...

Needs more ads. The old forums sucked. Sailing discussions were too readily available and loaded too quickly. You're on the right track, but I'm thinking some obnoxious pop ups might help!

All kidding aside, no complaints. Just have to get used to "different."

I'm not seeing numbering on posts which I used to find really handy.

 

[olaf hart]

Working fine here at the other end of the planet.

I noticed posts on ignore have dropped even further into the background, got me thinking.

Is there any way to completely drop ignores out, so I don't even know they posted?

Stopping the chain of posts on reply helps, but it would be great if putting someone on ignore takes away all their oxygen.

And maybe someone with a threshold number of ignores could be automatically barred?

It seems  a little smoother, but there are many backward steps:

1. No raw editing mode (makes it harder to tweak posts)
   
2. No nested quotes (hard to track conversations)
   
3. Skin has too little contrast.  Hard to identify difft sections of the page
   
4. The post # which used to be in the top right of each post has gone. It was useful for referring to posts without having to quote them
   

So overall, I much preferred the old setup

Looks great, I too would like an "Advanced Edit" option.
