    I too get some messages - and especially those that tell me, there's a 'conversation' for me - in the SPAM-folder. I do check that one anyway from time to time, but maybe there's a way to make these messages not 'look' like spam to the systems?

    By the way:
    I've gotten pretty used to the new forum-system now!
    Beside some minor issues, it works fine for me.
    Only thing that's really a bitch is, that the small light-grey-letters (telling about dates of posts) are really hard to read for me. But I can live with that.

    So,
    no complaints from my side anymore on the new system (for the moment).
    Thanks mjp [!] and Everybody who added their comments to help improve this thing.

    roni, i think if you add the email address that the notifications come from to your address book, they should arrive in your inbox, rather than going to the spam folder.

    I think It's fantastic. It will indeed take some getting used to but it looks great and thanks again for all the hard work.

    I have darkened all the light grey text that was bothering some folks.

    Also you may notice there's more info under your avatar. It creates some dead space in a lot of posts, but I suppose it's good to have those things there as a frame of reference. Maybe we don't need "Likes"? I dunno.

    There was an upgrade earlier today, but it's mostly changes in behind-the-scenes stuff.

    Almost 2 years later, does anyone remember what they liked about the old forum more than the (once) new one?

    I can't remember what the old one looked like...

    It looked like sadness and smelled like two day old fried chicken.

  12. Rekrab Half right most the time, except when I'm wrong.

    when a thread gets locked, why can't it just say at the bottom that the thread is locked? why does it have to tell me that i have "insufficient privileges to post here," and make me feel bad about myself in the process?

    That's funny, because originally it did say that the thread was locked, but then I thought it would be funny to make you feel bad about yourself somehow, and I wondered, what's the best way to do that? That's when I came up with "insufficient privileges," and I was like, bingo!
