I vehemently disagree with that spec. That's really bad UX because links are non-obvious what they link to and if a user were to click on a link to an external site, they wouldn't have a path back to it on the destination site. They'd have to go through the browser and that's supremely annoying.
By reilo Go To PostWhat's wrong Suen? Is it another complaint about Linius?Linius reign must be brought to an end. Footy slaent's prosperity can only happen under my command reilo.
However, let's set aside our grand goals for now. What I need help with is the search function. I want an easy way to find out any person that has quoted me but if I search for my name I get posts that don't even mention my name.

By reilo Go To PostImages link out now so they'll open in a new tab when clicked.
Can't say I love this behaviour. Not sure why an image should link out to its src by default. But especially don't know why the anchor tag takes up the entire width of the post, so just clicking inline with the image opens it up in a new tab. Seems this is a quirk of images taking up an entire line.
By Jay Whatever Go To PostIs there any kind of thread subscription option in the works?Yea, we have discussed it for sure. Just gotta work out performance issues as it relates to future caching implementation.

By reilo Go To PostSharp has a who quoted me query that I need to implement in the User CP.Sounds perfect, thanks. I still think the search needs to be fixed, at least so it won't show posts that don't contain the word I searched for.
Did a scan and removed some malware, slaent threads are opening fine now :)
Dunno what it was specifically that was making it take so long

By reilo Go To PostSearch is gonna get a whole overhaul, too.Yes please. And webm support reilo pls
Can I join the PM beta?
Thought that activating early access was supposed to do it, but when I click any user it only gives me the option to add them to the ignore list.

Click the little messages icon:
It should take you to your Inbox with a "Write" button:
I'll be making some UX advancements as the Messages system progresses to make this easier, including stuff like a PM icon next to the quote and direct link icons on a post so you can PM a user about a specific post directly. And yes, adding a PM button to User Profiles and via the nav somehow.

2/26 Updates:
- Ability to archive messages
- Improved UI and UX
- Bug fixes
- Hitting enter on User Search when writing a PM now works
Everyone that is using the beta: We are in the final phases of the Messages beta. I have roughly two issues left to solve before moving this out of beta. If you have any comments, bugs or feedback, please let me know!

By Jay Whatever Go To PostPM threads are going to last forever? No delete option for the OP?The check mark on the inbox lets you remove the PM. It still exists and others that are still part of the PM can still see and participate.
On mobile click on the vertical ellipsis to reveal it.
Okay, I fixed the last few remaining issues on my docket. If the few of you could be so kind and stress test it a bit and try breaking the Messages system, or provide any last bit of feedback, then we can move it out of beta this weekend. Thank you all for your help!
Soo, hello.
Finally got out the two bigger updates I have been wanting to push out for a while now.
- Messages is out of beta. Thank you to everyone who participated. It helped a ton.
- Thread Covers! You can now upload a cover image for a thread. Recommended size is minimum 1280x720px. I took the liberty and uploaded a few cover images for the promoted threads.
- Alongside cover images comes a homepage redesign. I have been itching to do this one as I think it looks a lot cleaner with the new cover images.
- You will now notice a new button on thread listings. This button will now take you to the last page, not just the last unread. Use the second icon for that.
- Various UI tweaks here and there. Improved consistency and re-factored some CSS to bring it into 2016.
Now that these bigger features that were quite time consuming are out of the way, I can go and focus on rapidly implementing smaller tickets, e.g. embedding videos/YouTube, Twitter integration, improved editing capabilities, and performance improvements.
Stay tuned, more to come!

Not sure I like the change in the home page for desktop but it looks great for mobile.
I would prefer having the recent threads be in order instead of separated by sub forum. Right now the most popular thread could be at the bottom of the home page while a slow moving thread stays at the top.
Just seems like a downgrade for usability when the old home page showed you all four featured threads plus a few active threads without scrolling.

Also another unrelated issue that I've been meaning to bring up is how the editing tools get obstructed by iOS's selection pop-up.
yeah I'm not really feeling the desktop home page, but the last post/messages/thread cover changes are really nice
I think to start with it'd be nice to reorder the categories on the right
the threads on the left shouldn't be scrollable imo, would be better being able to see all 4 at once. also would be cool if that's where subscriptions go, maybe 3 subs 1 featured.
also last read and last post icons should be the other way around

Nice work, Reilo and co. Looks great and excited about the future additions. Embedded twitter and videos will be awesome.
CANNOT COPE WITH CHANGE.
Not digging that I have to scroll down to read Entertainment. Those threads are gonna get lost in the mix.
From a sexyness standpoint though: A+

Maybe make the sub header font smaller (SPORTS LIFE etc) so there doesn't need to be as much scrolling?

reilo, it would be possible to add an option to show messages/avatar in small size like the mobile version for us, desktop users? I like it much more and find it easier to read that way, the desktop version has too much wasted space imo
Please. I'm begging you.
Please. I'm begging you.
Shouts to Reilo but lemme whine about something because of constitutional rights an American.
Is there an option to change the layout back to what it was on desktop? This would be a great look for mobile but it feels weird on a retina macbook 13' IMHO.

By PSYCH! Go To PostCan't see tags on mobile. Lollipop/latest chrome.Disabled them temporarily until I figure out a CSS fix for longer tags.

By Furyous Go To PostShouts to Reilo but lemme whine about something because of constitutional rights an American.I'll check it out on smaller resolutions and see how it feels. There'll be tweaks along the way you grumpy old man.

Fantastic work reilo, it really is appreciated.
Just a small problem I have been having for a while, not sure if it is my end or other people have experienced this but, sometimes the page doesn't finish loading on mobile so that when I come back to refresh the page I can't do it because the refresh button is a cross.
This is on android 6.0.1 using Chrome. No biggie because I just press home and go back to it but just wondered mate.
