The quick reply function is a nice addition. Liking that one a lot. The small touch of having the names bold, and titles as regular font is minor, but good too.

Buttons and new text look good. Some (like the "reply to thread" and "quick reply" bottom buttons) are a little big for my tastes, but I understand the logic of making them that way.

It'd be nice to have a bigger "Back to Discussion/Forum" button alongside those two large reply buttons on the bottom of the thread view, though. Right now I've been clicking the "breadcrumbs" buttons to go back to the forum view, and those are a little tiny.

Yes, a "Thread Index" button at the top and bottom of the page, like there is now, would be very much appreciated.

Using the drop down menu from the "breadcrumbs" directory to go to a forum currently makes it say that you are in:

ZAM Forums > Unknown

No matter where you are.

I'll relay that to the devs. In the mean time, any important feedback like that, please post it in the thread listed above, as it will have a better chance of being seen by the devs quickly.

No worries, just don't want to risk something important getting ignored inadvertantly.

For non-premium will "images" work differently than they do/did for premium or are non-premium user folders just not up yet?

The intent is for any non premium user to be able to upload and post images, but only after having aquired at least 250 posts. That way, the number is high enough it's not easy to get to via spamming undetected, but low enough that it is realistically achievable, yet forces the user to have invested a significant amount of time into the forum. We did it that way to prevent people from spamming us with **** images.

I hate change. I've hated every forum change/conversion since we switched from UBB, haha. Then again, I always get used to it.

Same here. After a while I'll forget what the old forums looked like.

I've heard this term tossed around a lot lately, and I suspect no one actually knows what it means.

I'm sure the sentiment will be echoed by a great host, but you're welcome to stop posting any time.

I think your definition of welcome may be a bit narrow.

alright so I admit that I enjoy watching people I rate up go from good to excellent or from default to subdefault. But it looks like that mini amusement is gone now?

It worked for me just now.

I think the server clock and how it updates karma is wonky. Sometimes it's near instant and sometimes it takes a few minutes.
