    Much better. Faster with no down-time.

    The only thing I don't like is the awkward way quotes get parsed. Sometimes line breaks come through, sometimes they don't. If they don't I've given up on adding ">" signs to make it readable. If you have a hard time reading without the line breaks, just go to the url.

    I really don't care about emojis, smileys whatever that much.

    I like the fact that you can upload a pic directly without going through another service (like postimage), though I wish there were a way to post multiple images at once.

    A while ago, Der Führer Klaus posted about using "markup" to insert tables, bullet points, etc. I find that very confusing, in my dotage, and I wish there were a handy reference guide for how to do it on this platform.

      I agree about the emojis. I also don't like that we can't enter more than one double space to separate items in the text.

      Otherwise I'm okay with this platform, although I don't have much by way of comparison.

        Wish it had a few more skins, a bit better emojis and a couple of other niggling complaints, but overall, good uptime and interface.

          I did not know you could do this!!!! LOL I have been upload to post image and then down load to here.

          How do you do this?

          So far, I am happy with the forum board. I actually see a lot of emoji and they seem to work good. And like @Loki said, not as much "other stuff" from the owners.

          Always makes me wonder how they can make money or what is their "business model."

            Don’t think we have a policy for it yet, but we should expect uploaded files (such as images) to be “aged out” and deleted when we bump up against our storage limit.

                    I have added a new plug in that is supposed to improve average post quality by at least 12%. Let me know what you think.

                            I do periodically receive a post that is blank. The first one was from Jon, but I've gotten blank ones from Ax and George also. Others respond to a link or a pic or something the OP provided that I can't see.

                            Don't know if this happens to anyone else.

                              I only have a couple of issues with it, both minor.

                              1. If my chrome browser ever drops this page as it's default opening page I'll never find the place again.. and
                              2. I wish it allowed more than one empty line between paragraphs. You can hit return a dozen times, but when it posts all but one are gone.
