New Software Snagging List
Welcome to the new Ship of Fools boards!
We all hope you'll settle in quickly and easily, but if you're having any difficulties or have any questions or comments about our new software then please post them here.
Please avoid using this thread for trivial or personal complaints like "I don't like the font" or "can you make the header orange instead of blue", as we'll probably be busy enough with serious things like people not knowing how to use or do things. Also, because the answers will be "tough" or "no" respectively.

I know many will be upset about that, but it's what we'd advertised so you knew it was coming.
Sorry again.
It seems that it a feature already on the New Ship, so why the hate?
We are discussing the matter behind the scenes. I'll let you know when we have an answer.
Or use "recent discussions", which is fast becoming my preferred entry point. I think if you click on the threads, it takes you to where you left off. I think.
The "Discussions" section shows you which threads have been posted on since you last looked at them.
When you open a thread it should take you directly to the first unread post.
This should be linked to your profile rather than device.
Yes. Yes it does.
This is a benefit of the UBB?
At least you can do it with one drag-and-click the first time!
Note, you can choose what notifications you want to see. There's a notification settings link from the planet icon, or from your own profile settings page.
(That was one of the icons that was literally invisible in beta-testing...)

If you click your icon, your edit profile option appears.

Thanks. Got it
Thanks, I got there.
I just went back to check, and the little x is top right and obvious when the 10C’s first open. But if I scroll to the bottom and back up, the x appears to have been raptured.
Here is a link to a larger version of that image.

1. clicking the quote option within Safari on the latest iOS doesn’t do anything unless one holds and uses the option Open in New Tab.
2. The only options above the posting window on the same are bold, italics and a drop down for quote, code and spoiler.
Edited to add: I am incorrect on note 1. The click does work, but the page does not automatically scroll down to the posting window. This is not added as a complaint, but for awareness.
Larger version. Profile pic should be 250 x 225. The software reduces it to the thumbnail
Fair enough. Though I would note that means links posted will be bare. No hiding within the text. And that will be messy.
Did try taking a new pic (still of boots of course) on my mobile but it says too large to upload! There’s an alternative question there - how do I change that?
1. Save your draft.
2. Go to "drafts" folder
3. Click on draft
4. Click on tiny near-invisible cross at top right
5. Preview psot is even more your fiend on these boards.
I am dyslexic and fonts which are sans serif make boards much more accessible for me. This one is far from the worst I’ve come across, but it is harder and more tiring for me to read.
I'm the developer that helped make and style the forums. Thanks for this feedback.
We had some discussion about readability of the font, but dyslexia (sadly) never came up.
I'm definitely keen to address the accessibility issues that arise on the site, so I'll add this to the list and hope we can fix it soon.
As an option in the meantime, can I ask: do you ever use browser extensions to change styling on websites? Is that something you'd be open to trying?
Yes I would, and thank you
OK, would you mind telling me what web browser you are using? If you know that piece of information?
It looks very pretty, and seems easy enough to use (although I did post on a thread earlier, but then it turned out to have been posted on another thread that I didn’t even think I’d opened. Maybe it was the auto save draft thing that seems to happen and maybe I clicked to another screen without knowing it and assumed I was still on the Welcome Aboard thread.
And I predict a fair number of posters will not figure out how to embed their links inside of text on the desktop either.
I think they should get draconian. Fuck up the hyperlink, we delete your post.
Then no one uses hyperlinks, but quote vast swaths of text which get deleted.
