@barty: OK, the avatar-way is OK. Thanx!

I am usually, and I have no troubles admitting it, belonging to the type of people that doesn’t like changes In things that I am used to, and have a tendency to avoid / delay any of such kind of changes. As evidence of that, I am still using my old IPhone that got its screen shattered a month ago and I got a new one 2 weeks ago and I haven’t got yet the will of making the switch to the new one. That said, I must congratulate @barty because the updated forum looks great both on my battered IPhone and in my notebook, and this is a kind of change I am embracing and loving every second of it!!!!

Love the forum update, especially new reactions. The only problem I have is with the style for read and new post - hard to tell the difference.

the window for the chat is not visible again due to style and 'Send' button tooltip says 'Absenden' for en locale

@Max Nozin added a better highlighting in the latest posts and thread lists with red color

Thanks. Looks good.

for that I previously used ol.new {background-color: #ffa5}

@barty another suggestion: quotes, when used in posts, used to have a contrasting bar at the left side of the text. Now it is light blue and has a very low contrast. In my view a higher contrast bar would be clearer to indicate the quoted text. Please consider a higher contrasting color.

@Rob Woudenberg thanks for this feedback. I just made it a lot darker, should be clearly visible now on the white background.

@barty Thanks a lot! this is much better

I've just notice a bug that seems to apply to threads with high comment count, like the Rossi-Blog Comment and Covid-19.

If you click on the thread and it takes you to the last page, note that the second last comment has no icons at the bottom which enables quote or report or react. But back up one page and return to the last page, and the second last comment now has the icons!

@Mark U thank you for your feedback. Should be fixed now!

Yes fixed, thanks Barty!

Is it possible to disable/change default pale green foreground color? It's not quite readable and personally I find repeated redesigns distracting and annoying...

@barty : just a minor thing: the list that shows who liked the post is restricted to 5 likes. So, you can't see the full list anymore when more than 5 likes have been given. Is this something you can tweak?

Pondering how easily one adapts to improvements, we have had the new layout for a few weeks already and I have again to congratulate @barty on how well the site is looking and working now. Top Notch.

it is way better barty. With one caveat. The old trollbox was simpler and lent itself to quick jabs and silly jokes. This new trollbox lends itself to long diatribes with flowery language and overly verbose explanations of quite simple points that should be expressible in just a few scant words with no unnecessary embellishment.

@barty - thanks for restoring 'conversations' in the header - it really works much better that way IMHO.

Good to see you logged in @Shane D. !!! Very happy to see you are feeling better!!!
