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 FührerKlaus 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.
- If my chrome browser ever drops this page as it's default opening page I'll never find the place again.. and
- 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.

Ax still has a link up...just type coffee-room.com in your browser and see what you get.

Oh, one thing I don't like:
Nested quotes only go 2 generations deep. Clicking on a deeper quote takes you to the original post. I suppose it's ok, but I hate jumping around in a thread.

Quit your whining, everybody. Right Now!
It's perfect. Better than perfect. Far better.
It's like individual threads by Hallmark.
Beautiful.
