New Forum Snagging

fun4everyone

On site popup notifications are an improvement but I would like a pop up notification when a post I made got "thanks" from someone.  Not an email, an onsite popup.  Can't believe MSE have added notifcations but ignored "thanks" in them

Can't see advanced formatting tools that were previously available such as different colour text and indent text.

How do I delete one of my posts?

Don't know yet

I'd imagine it must be somewhere in editing, when it does eventually appear

Also consider full integration into the browser via Web API / Notifications?

Edit: just to explain my workflow here a little and why this helps on sites it's integrated. Vanilla Forum's version of notifications "pop-in" within a Webpage's content. If I am not on the Webpage I will miss the notification completely and be required to observe the forum's notification badge (shows as a number of notifications). Web API's Notifications require a user to enable via the browser and in many operating systems is integrated with system-wide notifications. This results in a number of user defined actions like a user defined sound and persistency of the notification message box.

I often have scores of tabs open simultaneously as a visual reminder to do a thing regularly - check email, enter an hourly competition, follow up on something I might have promised to do. The forum's non-persistent method of this might have been achieved prior to this Web API standard being widely implemented across modern Web browsers.

The edit tool is the cog in the top right of the post - but i can't see a delete option. I guess, for the moment anyway, you just remove the text and save and it ends up as a blank post.

When I edited my profile, option "Display Skimlinks" was enabled... yet I know I had opted out of this spam in the old forum.

In Savings & Investments, clicking on a thread title adds #latest to the url but takes you to the beginning of the thread.

How can you tell if someone is Online or Offline?

I read one thread every day, but I don't want to read all of the thread every day.
But I can't see a way to click to the latest post on a thread any more.

Links to and from articles look broken, for example...
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/cheap-personal-loans/

Try the link in that page to discuss in the forum and an error page is shown.

I suspect that links from forum to articles might be broken to but only examples I have are to old articles.
