after a few minutes of prodding i have the following feedback:
- default font size is too small.
- header at top of page is too big.
- i was excited to see that the pages are responsive (variable width tables!)... but that appears to only work on desktop.  my biggest gripe about mobile remains: the page is fixed width, and too small to read.
- site now offers comic sans.  there is no reason for that.  ever.

i like the reply editor, some nice additions there minus the comic sans (but do the drop-downs need to take up the entire width?).

thanks to kosmo and anyone else involved in this effort.  don't pay too much attention to me, i spend my days critiquing website design and usability/UX...

when the previous dinosaur site is actually better than the upgrade, you know things went wrong somewhere. #thanksjulian

This is the most important takeaway. When do we get a 930 forum app?

Agreed that default font size is too small

yes...that by far is my biggest feature request, doesn't even seem like that would be that hard to do (from the one with no app building experience)
but don't just do a iphoney one

also found this in the documentation
Buddies/Ignore List

Inevitably, there will be times when members get along great and times when personalities clash. SMF provides a way to handle both instances. The buddy list allows members to keep track of users they enjoy talking to, while the ignore list hides users they do not want to see.


so Julie...are all hutches posts now no longer in your feed
be careful what you wish for...as people may start ignoring you too

No one will do that for more than a day. I'm the #1 content producer on here by a mile.

Bold Purple Comic Sans

Big Bold Purple Comic Sans

Yeah, the default font is too damn small.

There is an icon at the bottom of the General Discussion page for polls.  Can we enable polls?

Yeah I noticed this as well, although I think it's something that was fixed after the launch.. Still prefer the WAP view, gotta stick by my beliefs :p

So this font is super tiny.  I know, I am old, but this is HARD to read even with reading glasses on (on my desktop).  Is there a setting I can change?  I looked, didn't see anything.

Looks like they purged inactive and old members from the members list.  I was looking for The Black Nerd.  I thought he would be interested in this event:  http://blerdcon.com
