[Patriotic Voter]

The thing about that is, I have seen it recommend threads from an area of the forum not otherwise mentionable. Not sure if that is intended or cared about.

Examples?

Are user names a free and open market or is this revenue stream going to fund your (I don't know who) future migration to Mars?

I suspect the fee is simply to discourage users from constantly changing names to create sock puppets.

I just happened to see this message in my profile:

You may next change your username on or after Oct 1, 4758.

I've fixed this

 

[Antiwar]

I've fixed this

Now there's a 'change' button.

That means it was fixed...

Anyone better understand the new quote box feature? Sometimes when I've hit return the cursor exits the box (like it's supposed to), others it expands the box. My guess is that it has something to do with hidden {quote} code.

 

[Antiwar]

Yes. If that button is pressed $5 is instantly withdrawn and the name must be changed.

 

[ASHES]

Yes. If that button is pressed $5 is instantly withdrawn and the name must be changed.

You already changed your name once?

 

[RedAkston]

No

 

[Antiwar]

No

It's a joke.

 

[Antiwar]

No.

 

[ASHES]

No.

First one's free.

The Preview is now the icon on top with the little magnifying glass, on the right side. Not using phone here, only desktop and laptop.

Thank you! I tried that button and didn’t see it do anything, probably because I hadn’t actually written anything yet.

 

[X Factor]

That does appear to work. It doesn't show it in a separate area than the edit box now so I didn't think that was it. Thanks.

Seems like it’ll actually be quicker now. Like you can do previews as you go along without losing your place.

 

[X Factor]

That sounds kinda cool

It does.

And it is!

Hot damn! That’s badass.

I'm getting used to it. Like it for the most part. I think the quotes are still difficult to deal with on mobile sometimes, and when in code view I wish the other editing settings weren't disabled.

The "U" (underline) button has disappeared. I used it a lot. Does anyone know where it's hiding now, lol?

Oops, nevermind. I found it hiding under the three dots "more options" code (mentioned in case anyone else was also looking for it!)

The video in the OP is really helpful. I learned a lot.

Were the "Shades of Blue" colors tweaked a bit lately?

We updated to the latest version so it's possible.

I never go to Facebook for personal reasons. What are these banners we will get?

I never joined fb. As far as I know, the banners are just an option to upload a photo of your choice to show behind your large avatar and user name on your profile page. I believe it's just for fun, something decorative to personalize your profile page.
