    Pretty sure switching from IE to anything is always the best option.

    My work just upgraded us from IE 8. And XP. I'm in a whole new world of the internet working again.

    Of course they failed to backup anything and I've lost every single file I use.

    I just noticed that with all the post moves, General Discussion is like the same four Posts with thousands of views constantly cycling to the front. You know in case you've missed it the last six months.

    I miss the old forum lay out and the forum generally. Used to be ( for me ) a great place to go to for general banter and to pick up the info you needed. I can’t quite put my finger on why I don’t like the new one but it all seems so convoluted now. I’ve gone from looking at it 3 or 4 times a day to only every other day to see if there is some new news. My employer thanks you for the change ……………………..i however am miffed.

    Can you maybe stop using a different font from literally _everyone_ else on the forum?
    That small print is extremely irritating, up to the point where I don't even read what you post anymore once I see the small font.

    Why is there a limit to how many people I can ignore?

    To make you choose wisely, I'd imagine.

    Is this better? I didn't intentionally select a text in the first place. I've just typed. Hopefully it is and you have a better day

    My main gripe with the new forum is the post editor. It's plain awful:
    • Sometimes your cursor gets locked in the quote and you have to go into HTML view to enter some empty lines at the end
    • Shift-Ctrl-Arrow doesn't select a single word but the entire line
    • You often get an empty bold/italic tag stuck at the end of your post which means if you use backspace suddenly you're typing in bold again.
    • If you don't want to quote a whole post, it's a pain to edit without screwing up the nested quotes.

    Also, pretty much every other forum allows you to get a notification if someone's quoting your post. Here, you only get notified if someone @ mentions you.

    Maybe less posts would just disappear and die in the various subforums, if people actually had a way to get notified if someone tried to talk to them.

    Or if you quote someone who has @ mentioned you. Or if you quote someone who has quoted someone who has @ mentioned you. Or...

    I was hoping we would have gotten character icons by now (yes, I know there's a list of link tags that I can copy and paste, but we shouldn't have to, should we?).
