    It's been a while since we left Tapatalk (Yay!).

    Just curious what do people like/dislike about our new web-based platform that Klaus (and others) have put so much work into.

    What I like:

    No profanity filter.
    Drag 'n' drop pictures (as long as they're not too big!).
    Overall stability.
    Ease of use (once you get used to the new features.
    We seem to be getting fewer trolls.
    Ease of embedding youtube and twitter (most of the time, LOL).

    What I don't like:

    PMs are now no longer threaded by topic, but long chats.
    No ability to embed pictures in PMs.
    Not able to increase size of fonts for posting . I'm sure Ax misses the ability to color fonts as well.

    Overall, it's, IMO, a positive.

    What else am I missing?

        I like it. It’s fast, stable, and easy to use on my iPhone, which is what I use 90% of the time.

          I also use an iPhone for 90% of my time. That leaves about 2.5 hours per day for sleep. The sleep is refreshing, but still sad, in that it is time away from my iPhone.

              It seems to me that every year and every platform change, the text has gotten smaller and blurrier. That’s my only complaint.

                This forum is a lot busier

                If you take a few hours off, it takes forever to catch up

                  Every post with incorrect ideas in it increases the total post count by 2, because someone has to correct the bad ideas. Every post with good ideas increases the total post count by only 1 because good ideas need no rebuttal.

                    @Horace @Copper Funny but true. LOL

                    I was just thinking - who has been the last contributing new arrival to this (and the other) board?

                    @xenon ?
                    @Loki ?

                      Define 'contributing'. 😉

                        @jon-nyc Someone who regularly or semi regular posts. Not a spam person who comes here for one post and then leaves.

                            Apparently there's some discussion about this and many other issues related to the chat frontend in the nodebb community. I haven't investigated the latest state, though. If you find something along these lines in the nodebb forum let me know and I can try it.
