The Forum is getting a new look

Is the signature editor going to be better. I cannot seem to separate sentences. If I try, it tells me that images aren’t allowed.

I suppose it's too late to come up with suggestions but I would like to see the following improvements:

- Ability to search within a thread / specific part of the Forum
- An 'Agree' or 'Like' option on posts. 'Thanks' isn't always appropriate. I'm not sure if this is what others are referring to when they mention emojis, but let's not go OTT with them. 
- On the Competitions Forum, a clear indication of whether you have entered and/or Comp-limented within the post. I often end up tapping these options three times because I'm not sure if I've done it or not.
- A limitation on the size of signatures. Two or three lines is sufficient. 10 or more lines just fills up threads with duplicated bumph to scroll past.

I guess we all find out later today, after 4pm.

You can please some of the people, all of the time, and all of the people, all of the time, but you will never please all of the people, all of the time. John Lydgate, and Abe Lincoln knew stuff that is as true today as it ever was.

That doesn’t sound quite right 😎

Think you might mean you can please some of the people, all of the time, and all of the people, some of the time, but you will never please all of the people, all of the time..

Interesting data that the forum team must have that shows that the forum is least active between 2pm and 4pm as opposed to say 2am and 4am. I can't imagine any other reason why they would take the forum down in the middle of the day for an upgrade.

Probably because they're asleep between 2am and 4am? And by doing it at 2pm-4pm they're all in the office/at the end of a phone to resolve any issues that might crop up rather than it being off all night and then some more through the day while they fix whatever might have gone wrong? I don't think MSE is a 24/7 operation like the big name companies.

I used to like the auto-subscribe to threads you contributed to.

Whatever it looks like, we'll get used to it

See you all in the New Land
