Sam I see you've changed many things already

Keep up the good work, we will continue to post suggestions :)

Oh and if possible, it would be very nice to have our friends list back. Mewmewmew13 noted on twitter that craig1985 and theswordsman were on her friends list, it's very sad to see it disappear :(

Thanks for the hardwork man.

So far the most important stuff is the background colour, font size and post per page.

Also is there a way to bypass/remove the page that appears when you post and someone made a new post while you were typing?

That will be a nightmare during race threads

It's not possible to immediately see which threads are sticky and which aren't. The same with locked threads.

I also just got an: "At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this." Annoying.

PS: Sorry for the harsh first reaction. When it's fully updated I am sure it will be nearly as good as before :)

I know *SURPRISE* !

Its a bit clinical, will get a softer background sorted... might be next week but I will try my hardest to get it this week.

""Also is there a way to bypass/remove the page that appears when you post and someone made a new post while you were typing?""

Yes Looking at that now - as that is really irritating.

Just noticed that since all threads and posts have new url, all links from before the update are now 404. Major impact in the Race Design Thread.

Quotes also don't link to the post they quote.

Thanks man, always great to see some one from the "Development Team" thinking as an user. :)

Will the posts per page feature be a individual option of each poster like it was on the old forum? If not i vote for something like 40/50 posts per page

Well, for me it even looks better than before, and FAR better than the disaster that is now the front page of the Website.

Another thing: Before the update, posts that were posted the current day said 'Today' instead of '12 Mar 2015' and the posts from the day before said 'Yesterday' instead of '11 Mar 2015'

Hey I've seen a new addition, it now not only shows the date when someone registered, but also the time of that day.

Hope it'll get better next time

Previously a picture could be 960 pixels wide before it stretched the page (in a quote would add 50 pixels).

I also miss each post in a thread to have a number (which you could click on and use as link).

I'm using a very old username, because I only got an email for that name. I didn't even know this was still active, and I can also see that previously banned users, are no longer banned.

Evidently, this isn't an old username at all. It's a brand new name...I have 1 post...make that 2...
It is old. I remember noticing when you created it. I also hinted at that in - I think - the login problems thread.
