Agreed. For instance, I can't remember what your original name was, but I recognize that avatar image for sure. (I also enjoy having avatar threads in order to post previous avys to keep track of the changes people have made over the years).

Yeah, and if you load the page under https rather than http, marking forums as read by clicking on the bubbles doesn't work.

Adorable Griffons.

2016-03-01 Comic Hah. Y'know, with as much of a deal that Dan's made of where Elliot's keys and other assorted items go when he transforms, this should have been predictable... ... I totally didn't predict it. (Also, Panels 3 and 5 are BEGGING to be taken out of context. Panel 5 in particular with that pose and blush...) EDIT: Playing around with tags. Interesting. I like that we can have one called out. Also, I love that we can FINALLY edit our topic titles. About freaking time.

I think they look risky even IN the context. Heh, yeah, this is true.

Enter the Disco Wizard: Now that's just cheating! Well lets see you deal with this... And suddenly Elliot develops some new side effect. I can't imagine anything suitable, but I'm sure the Disco Wizard has a lot of experience trolling lazy magic users who tries to play the rules. Disco Wizard is heavily implied to be just a messenger for Magic itself, he doesn't make the rules or anything like that.

Agreed. @The Old Hack, might we get a merge? :3 As far as the slay / reminder goes, good job.

But why do that? Why wouldn't you check with the very two people you need to talk to about where you should talk with them?

Tedd! Get on it! (Hah, the idea of Git Repos for each magic user is pretty great too).

Welcome back, hackity Hack.

So...like, they already all drove back to Charlotte's dorm, and didn't clarify where everyone was going before driving off? Huh. Goodness, that was a lot of white space. ~chuckle~

Oh, did Oz mean in this thread in particular? I thought he meant in the forums as a whole.

There are some nifty additions and serious problems with how some of the stuff is handled (quotes being the biggest problem: They only show one level of nesting). I made a thread about both things here: That was the majority of the traffic before the crash as well, by a fair margin. I think maaaybe the Wotch was a distant second?

~waves~ I lurked in at the tail end of the EGS Keenspot days, joined the forums proper back during the Bad Old Days of '07-'09 IIRC, bounced around a bit during that time, coming and going... and finally came back pretty solidly a few years back. Not completely certain of the timeframes involved in all of that, though.

Everything got nuked. :/ You didn't forget anything. I'd much prefer the archive over a merge. Have it there for reference, but let's start anew outright.

The weather in Oklahoma is invading France? Interesting. Here in Texas it's so hot I'm having a hard time sleeping. Hot and muggy. Blech.

Currently listening to Rise Against's Endgame album. Great band. My girlfriend got me into Dr Who last year...and the only way I had of watching it was Netflix. This was also the only thing I got Netflix for as well. Now I get to cancel Netflix...but I don't get to watch Dr Who anymore. :/ Bit of a mixed feeling, there.

Good idea, I'll throw together a post real quick with some of the basic info I've figured out from playing around on the forums the past hour or so :). It won't stay accurate for too long, due to upgrades and other such stuff being done as the forums get put into order (Like @Robin has implied that BBCode will probably be coming as soon as it gets fixed on the forum software end, and in the meantime if we wish [and we {or at least I} definitely do] they'll turn on HTML formatting for us). But some basic stuff on how the editor seems to be working would be good, and then others can add what they've figured out to it as well. EDIT: And done. Here's the thread as promised:

Unknown at this moment. We'll probably get clarification in the next page. This would be nice. I wouldn't be too sure. He does strike me as a "make the same mistake 8 times" kind of guy. He means well, and he isn't stupid, but he is a bit predictable and doesn't seem to put a whole lot of thought into his choices. I can see him checking the book regularly for maybe a week or two, then going back into his old routine and forgetting to keep up with it. Hah, I seem to have figured out a way to force nested quotes. (You have to multiquote both posts, then drag one quote inside the other in the WYSIWYG editor). Also, I agree with Changer. This post is an example of why we need the nesting quotes. Is this even possible to understand in context without following the linkback three different times? Now what if we had an entire chain going on, with multiple multiquote responses? Anyways, I think the GPS, Internet, SMS integration would be a cool thing. ALSO, just so everyone knows: On these boards hitting enter adds a new line in between the line you're writing on and the next thing you type. Like so: : See? No need to hit the enter button twice to spread paragraphs out. Now, if you need merely a carriage return and not an empty new line between them, hit "shift+enter" to get the next line without excess spacing. Like so: : see?

I'm here again as well. But I'm sure this surprises nobody. Good Points: Very fast compared to the old one. Multiquote is handled quite well, except that adding commentary BEFORE the quotes is impossible without dragging the quotes around within the editor. Bad Points: WYSIWYG (Though it is MUCH improved over the last one at least), and the BLINDING WHITE. My eyes bleed already. I'm not seeing any issues with copy pasta though. Thirded. Either BBCode or HTML or Markup. Or all three, preferably. Mine eyes. They is pain. I'd be super down for that.

Yes, this please. BBCode or basic HTML or something other than in addition to WYSIWYG. (I'd also take Markdown). Also, there's a bit of a bug in the profile area. When putting in date of birth, both the first two boxes are the month of birth...and no option for the day. And it throws an error if you don't put at least the month and the day. Good luck with the data recovery. I'd like to see some of the stuff preserved as well. EDIT: Also, another bug report: The "Location" info underneath the user's post count has formatting issues. If you just put "Texas - USA" in the box, for instance, what appears to show is "LocationTexas - USA". So I had to put ": Texas - USA" to make it look right. Maybe a bug report forum / subforum would be a good idea? EDIT2: Also, I know this is probably a big ask, but is there any possibility of a dark theme (Grey or black) being offered? I like the general design and layout, but the bright white is quite blinding.
