BWalmerKinda minor, but an annoyance to me, on an iPad (mini if it makes a difference) there's no more link back to my profile (that I can find). It's next to "inbox" on an iPhone, but not there on an iPad.
ERICA.MNNot sure if this has been addressed lately, but on my desktop when I click the (page #) from my threads, it still takes me to the first page of the thread
How about a reply button at the top of the thread?
Also, on mobile, in the thread listings, what is the red x next to the creator's name for? Tapping it does nothing for me. On android version of chrome.
Another thing I've noticed. The arrow buttons are gone from the pictures section of profiles. The only way to go forward/back a picture is to click on the pictures link again and select the next picture manually. Bring back the arrows please or at least allow us to use the arrows on the keyboard to go forward/back a picture!

And I was wondering about that red X also. Can post a screen shot of it if needed.
Ok so the new mobile reply box is whack. The cursor will go to different spots in my post while I'm typing. If I need to add something to the beginning of my post I'll type like one letter and then it jumps down to the bottom of the post. Also the cursor doesn't blink so I can't tell where it is if I try select something or whatever. I don't think it's my phone cuz I didn't have this problem with the last reply box.
(Hopefully that works, first time posting pictures from mobile sine update)
I'm on an iPad mini to and it does this as well. Jason explained to me that NS automatically dumps elements based on screen size. I did like having the old elements off to the side, even on the mini. I can live with it though.
So embeding videos is easier than ever, right? Just using the [ video ] with no spaces and [ / video ].
But does that work for everything? I tried it with this video, http://mpora.com/videos/AAdr9ntdv8i2, and it didn't work. But that site gives me an embed code and from past experience, that doesn't work anymore either. Even though it is easier to just copy the URL and past with the video and /video, can we still used embed codes?
Would it be possible to use embed codes and the new embed method?
I'm getting accustomed to the changes and not sure if this was brought up yet but it's tough to find replies people have quoted because the dates are gone. That would probably cause clutter but even on a 5 pg thread, it gets a tad annoying going back to try to find a reply so I can quote as well. Slight laziness too I guess.

I did like the quote system in the out layout, because you could go to the quotee's profile via linked username. Plus, there was the post time on there.
whats the deal with video embeds? why isnt there a preview of what the video is going to be like there used to? now it is just a black box with a play buton and i have no idea what im going to watch. as a result, i almost never watch embeded videos anymore.

A couple pages back Bishop said that they're black because they are putting adds on them.

No - allowing direct embed codes in the forums is a massive security issue. What we can do is add more sites that we support. So mpora is one you'd like to embed?
*CUMMINGS*Now the cult paging problem is fixed, but when I go to a cult thread and then back to my threads of mobile, I keep getting logged out.
Reported as bug, will address.

Yes, we are trying to play ads in front of *some* of these. Its too much right now and a little buggy, priority has been working with you guys over layout issues, and we'll address some of these things as we go this week and move on from layout.

That was actually the first time I have used mpora. I just noticed it didn't work and the embed code existed. I think the main few that would be necessary to have would be, Youtube, Vimeo, and Facebook (if possible). There are always some random sites out there that I find content to post, but I know you couldn't get them all.
Do you have a list of currently embedable sites? (Sorry for asking this on multiple threads)

Does anyone else on mobile go to up vote/down vote get the error message occasionally saying "you need to be logged in..?" So I have to go back and reclick the thread and vote and continue reading. Just a little annoyance that is possible to ignor3!!

I would like to apologize in advance if this has already been posted, but as of now I only have one major concern. I can deal with the whiteness right now, but I have noticed that once you have scrolled down in a thread past the articles on the right side, there is no line to separate the white post box from the white margin. It begins to blur together and is a little distracting. I think the best solution would be to simply outline the posts, and this wouldn't happen anymore. Other than that I actually am beginning to like this new design
Mr.BishopBTW you can now edit your own OP in S/T threads.
Oh, but ONLY if they are made after April 8th. The old system is incompatible, so before anyone says its broken make sure you don't just have an old thread.
theabortionatorSo we can embed if it's from those sites or we can't embed other than a link to those sites?
Correct. We can also add more sites to that list very easily.
However, raw embedding is gone forever.
Remember how people used to be able to put weird things flying around the screen? Well they could theoreciatlly also get your account passwords, run some pretty malicious shit, etc. It was a brutal security flaw put in by a coding intern a million years ago. It just can't come back.

I don't really remember. Like gifs? Or something different?
For video embedding how do we do that now? I tried a couple times in the last few days unsuccessfully. I swapped the fancy editor thing and then it showed up in the preview but when I post there's no video.
I'm back to being a noob on that. I don't know what to do.

Click the fancy new 'Help?' button at the bottom right of the post box if you're not using GUI.
What's the deal with the delay on posts showing up? Sometimes like 5 minutes. It says there's a post but nothing when you click the thread then all of the sudden it's there a few min later.
