I can't find multi-quote.
That's the Chief fecked.

Just press Reply in multiple posts and it will add the quote to the quick reply box at the bottom of the page.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
There's a zoom feature in your browser :)
Well, yeah, but that makes the post text too large. On reflection I only think the stuff in the little profile bubble to the left of posts could be a bit larger. Particularly the username. I just feel it would make it a little bit easier to quickly identify whose post you're actually reading.

Newbie of the Year 2011. Twat of the Millenium. Hi

That character limit worked out rather well :D

Also, how does one get the 40 posts per page thingamabob back?

Congratulations on the migration to XenForo. Moving a forum and database of this size is no easy task and I am very impressed that it went so smoothly though.

@Niall: I was wondering, though, if you would consider changing the background color of the posts back to the light gray it was on the old site? Considering this forum is almost entirely made of text and is reading intensive, the pure white background begins to strain the eyes after some time. The gray background was much easier on the eyes when I was browsing the site, but now I find my eyes hurting very quickly.

Also, I know this is minor, but I was wondering if you could change the "unread threads" back to bold instead of having the blue dot in front of it? When doing a quick glance of a forum, it is much easier/quicker to locate unread threads if they are bold than to see if they have a blue dot in front of them.

Thanks again and congratulations on the new site.

I can't see smileys or options to edit posts (bold, italics, colours, font size etc..etc..) on my iPad, can you?
I haven't tried it on my laptop mind...
Nope I don't have them either

Are they supposed to be there?

I've noticed the edit button, it's next to the post number, it's text not a button

Did anyone else get a 'canee take the strain' error page in the last 5/10 minutes?

Please let me know if you see any...

I also tend to think the username of whomever you quoted could be a little bit bigger. Perhaps I'm getting old and poor sighted. Still think the profile names to the left could be somewhat bigger. Other than that... it'll grow on me.

Cheers askabob, valid points, I'll add them to my (ever lenghtening) to-do list and have a longer think about them at a later date.

I love it so far.

When I use the zoom on my browser so that the grey edges at the side are not there it is much easier to read but because it's just zoomed every time I click a new page I have to re-centre the page. Is it possible to do away with the grey edges?

Delete and edit work for me.
My only problem is when I go to 'more options', I don't have any more options :/
no smileys or edits like there used to be with 'advanced options' (or what ever it was!)
