As Cupz suggested. Put any suggestions in here and we will consider them!

Nice, I CONTRIBUTE!
I'd like the bandcamp integration very much as that is my main mode of music distribution.
I also heard the echo of "chatroom" somewhere that I'll just repeat here out loud.

Oh and "[flash] is off", might be fun to turn that on, especially in the signatures. Though flash's (possibly destructive) power should not be underestimated. Maybe limit the signature flash height to 128 pixels or summin and disable external actionscripting (no idea if that is even possible?).

As do I. The mobile version isn't very appealing. No avatars are showing up either.

It probably looks better in the Tapatalk app. Try that out. Haven't done that yet..
It's always better than the old mobile version though. That one was basically just text - which is nice but it doesn't resemble the desktop forum at all.
(It was crazy fast though, haha)

As for mobile, you should really give tapatalk a chance. It is free and works like a charm:

Agreed. First chance to try Tapatalk and it's great. Looks lovely on there.

I'd prefer it if the quotes could be dimmed somehow seeing as every post is now surrounded by a bubble. Would look less confusing in my opinion.

Being able to block people you disagree with or just plain don't like is going to us lead down a path I do not think is constructive to civil discussion and reasonable discourse between ostensibly decent people. This feature does not belong here.

I'm digging the twoism-ripplex style, but the white headings in this theme for thread titles etc. are hard to read, and would maybe work better in black/ dark grey the same as the default theme.
Just a niggle. Love it otherwise. Well done to all involved.

Totally agree! Overlooked this feature tbh. It's off now.

I have to concur.
Didn't even notice it when it was on, apparently.

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes the idea of simply being able to block or ignore the inconvenient or ugly truths that often come to light when people actually deign to talk to one another.
Now, if I could just figure this behemoth out. I don't even know where the quote button is.
Oh wait. I found it. I have to do it manually now instead of just hitting a button?

no, it's on the bottom right! not amazing contrast to be fair, but it is there for sure.

You're far from the only one. One of the things that made me sign up is that this is an almost totally free-expression community. Our language is not moderated, our avatars and signatures are not moderated, our topics are not moderated. The anomaly of it all is that this has somehow with a few exceptions worked where it would be utter chaos somewhere else, and that the job of a moderator here 95% of the time is to deal with things like duplicate threads astounds me. It is the truth when I say that the integrity of this community is unlike any other I've been in online.
Though occasional immaturity makes me wish from time to time that I didn't have to deal with a certain individual, the idea of blocking someone just seems to go entirely against the idea of this forum.

I imagine this isn't going to happen. Browsers will get pissy and start giving warnings errors because of embeds to non https photobuckets, imgurs and that kind of thing. Its not trivial to just pop an SSL certificate on a forum for that kind of reason

Will definitely try that App out.
