Odd question, is anyone elses' font on posts weird? Like, when I type in a text box, everything is normal. But, when I post it and read others' posts, all of the letter "I"s that are lower-case, look a lot like letter "L"s. The lower-case "I"s stretch out above the rest of the letters near them.

I haven’t noticed that problem. I did notice a typographic issue, though, some of my posts prior to the switchover don’t display quote marks correctly, instead has garbage characters. (it’s correctable using Edit, though). I haven't checked if other people's pre-redesign posts are doing the same thing (maybe it's only visible to me, with my posts).

Examples:
I can’t ignore its “brand”….
if we’re using distance from campus — Des Moines,….

OK, I really was liking the new site and thought it was a good idea. But now I've noticed something and I'm not so sure anymore. Off to the right of the Recent Posts page is a Members Online Now section. At the bottom is a summary.

Total: 514 (members: 86, guests: 409, robots: 19)

What's the deal with these robots?? Are they self aware? Will they go all Terminator on us? Maybe it's best to shut this thing down before it's too late.

We are aware of the politics issues. It's being worked on but probably won't be fixed until Monday. A permission transfer issues between the two softwares.

Thanks. Love the site and all of your hard work.

Okay, still working weird, but posting.

Ha, I noticed your alt liked one of my posts. I was just coming here to say I was joking about getting Bawbie back but keeping you banned. I mean, we differ ideologically, but i don't dislike you!

Also, if I really do have the power to ban people, tell me who to PM because I've got a short list.

They've always been there, now we just know when they are there and how many are there.

Knowing your enemy is the first step.

Even a moderator should pay a price for such a blatantly misogynistic post...jimlad

I chose to hide political forums, but they are still showing up on my new posts.

That is a good thing. Feel fortunate.

Its gonna take awhile to get used to this new layout. Looks much better, I just dont like change.

It was taken away from people that scored below a certain threshold. We don't want bad spellers to be making erroneous claims.

Perfect spellers are like the winners of a geography bee - who gives a flying rat's ass...

Depends. It matters to me when a poster is making a point to seem especially intelligent or well-informed. Like when there's a twelve paragraph rant on "Paul Rhodes." Grammar and complete sentences are pretty much fading away. Obviously.

I expect to be in the minority -- but I would really like to hide the avatars. I didn't find a setting for that.

True. But most of the time when people point this stuff out, they are just trying to belittle someone or being arrogant.

How does a guy embed a tweet?

NOTE: I didn't know how to do this before the newness.

Possible bug: In Create New Thread, Preview option does not work. At least it didn't for me.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Possible bug: it still doesn't show me as a moderator.
