Another thing that I think I fixed was that when you edit a post in a thread, it will bump that thread to the top. I don't think it does that anymore.

It's very serify. I wanted something a little fancier than the current one, and I actually quite like it.

If you were picking a font, which would you go with?

This isn't quite true. If you edit the OP it still bumps it to the top, but if you edit a random post in the thread it does not. It also bumps it if you lock the thread. Better than it was, at least.

i installed a browser plugin and ripped through a bunch of fonts until i found two:


if serify, crimson text:


overall, i'd just go something simpler like source sans pro:


or comic sans

I'm not sure if anybody should be able to edit somebody else's OP. 

The Inter don't is fine. But I admit to being partial to Arial lol

You can only edit the OP of a thread you started. Also, I can edit all OPs.

Is making it possible to multi-quote a post difficult to code? I often think it would be easier to be able to do this, like we used to be able to do. Especially now that Isadore isn't here

It's something I can look into adding, I don't think it would be too terribly difficult now.

lol, actually I just realized you cannot quote posts at all yet on the new version. Oops. I'll work on that tomorrow.

Please attempt logging in and posting on the dev site. Would suck to flip the switch and no one is able to login or post.

I tried to do a reply to this post but there's no quote/reply/submit box or anywhere to type.

You sure you're logged in? Do you see your name and avatar in the top right corner and/or do you see your username when you click the mobile menu in the top right corner?

I'm able to post now. I still don't see my name/avatar in the top right corner of the main board though. 

Current board:

New board:

And I know you haven't done the reply/quote fix yet.

Yeah, that makes sense for now. On desktop you'll see something like this:


On mobile you'll see the hamburger menu (three lines) and if you click you'll see your username with a log out link.

I added quoting and you can now quote multiple posts just by clicking the quote button on multiple posts. Instead of replacing the quoted post it adds each new post at the bottom.

I think everything is ready to make the switch. A few small things I still want to get done soon, but I think it's good enough at this point.
