I wish the new forum did this *redux*

What determines if something shows up on the frontpage?

Allow signatures to be more than 125 characters.

Why, you writing a book?

I like long-winded pretentious quotes. Old site allowed 325. Just sayin'.

Maybe at some point, but can't now. One of the biggest complaints is the length of the post window. Until I figure out how to shorten that, I've gotta shorten something.

Not what. Who. Me. I promote posts to articles if I like them and think they have merit. Please understand "like" does not mean agree necessarily. Just well stated, well thought out, and logical.

So the difficult and elusive solution to having GC posts on the front page is that you don't put them there?

Oh hey, another thing that sucks ass: When you reply with a quote, that obnoxious "+Reply to Thread" button moves directly under the reply box. Which means half the time I click that instead of the tiny unassuming "Post Quick Reply" button that would actually post my response. Instead, I'm taken to a fresh reply box and everything is wiped out. Kill that fucking ugly button or at least keep it above the reply box.

Can you walk through that step by step? I just hit Reply With Quote to your post and the + Reply to Thread button doesn't move (its always at the top and bottom of the post list). And Post Quick Reply is where it always is for me. Maybe its the browser (Firefox here)?

While this won't reduce the default size of the post space, you could reduce the font size of the Quote and Signature text. They are larger than the post text by quite a bit.

Sorry great Satan. Let me be more clear. All forum posts show up on the right under the section "recent forum posts". I can promote posts to articles if I choose. Those articles appear both in the middle of the front page, and in the section on the left.

Deanna must have said something similar back in the 90s.

Put the "who's online" at the bottom or top of the separate forums, not just at the main page.

Agree. It 's nice to know what asshat is lurking around FYI.

I think Skin is using some cheap computer that Partial gave him.
