Yesterday was surprisingly fun for sitting there doing nothing. And so, I woke up this morning, had breakfast, came to the computer, and got all excited about the new forum all ofer again. : D |

This is AWESOME! I'd like some Custom user titles, burr hey, thats okay. The new angry emotion is cool. I think we should get some more, though. |

That's pretty much what I did yesterday, too. Though I did that while I played Fire Emblem. |

Yesterday, I went to a Music store to get my Amp fixed. On the way out, I put a KRamer Vanguard FR on layaway. Best six or so hours ever. |

In the profile, you can see what a person's most posted in topic and board is. That's awesome! |

Also, I was there when the forum upgraded but you still couldn't post in it. It amazed me. |

Suggestion: Before, links in posts opened in a new tab. The default setting in phpBB3 is to open in the current tab. I greatly prefer it to open in a new one. I haven't found an option for that in the UCP or even the ACP (on my test board). Is there a way to change it back to new tab anywhere? (alternately, I just realized with a slap of the forehead, I could just get used to using the middle mouse button to click links instead... but maybe there's still good reason for defaulting to new tab so here's the idea for consideration anyway) |

This is the other thing I was going to mention yesterday, but forgot to say. As Inverse said, while I could just use the middle mouse button, it just feels more convenient for the links to open in new tabs when I'm randomly clicking away on the Forum. It's also hard for me to imitate a middle mouse button click on my laptop sometimes. It's not really necessary to change it, but it's just something I also noticed yesterday that was different from before. this-guy wrote: My stats wrote: Most active forum: Forum Games [ 1122 Posts / 96.97% of your posts ] Most active topic: Random Thoughts- PLAY FREEBIRD! [ 395 Posts / 34.14% of your posts ] Okay, what are the other -31.11%? That's what it's like under mine, as well (Most active forum: Off-subject Discussion [ 667 Posts / 144.69% of my Posts ]). It is probably because Forum Game and Arts and Crafts posts are not counted on the main post count. It could also be from threads and posts that are locked/deleted, but still seem to be counted for whatever reason. I'm not entirely sure, since I haven't examined it too well. |

I always middle-click when I want a new tab anyway, so I'm not affected. I think it's a good habit to get into. But on odd occasions I have the inverse problem: sometimes pages spawn a new tab when I want them to be replaced! |

I was there for all of it. And as much as I hate to say it, becuase it is very, very lame…but I stopped hanging out with friends that morning to come back and watch… <.< Don't judge me. |

'Tis awesome. I tried going here yesterday and saw a progress bar.. So instead of wasting my time here waiting, I wasted my time playing games. |

I watched Mythbusters and played Super Mario World checking the progress bar every 15 minutes. I did start watching at the end, though. SUGGESTION Make the page numbers at the top of each topic page so you can tell what the current page is. It's kind of hard to tell now. |

Just noticed something else: Previously, when a Firefox tab of the forum was open, it would show the HRWiki logo next to the tab's title. Now it just shows a blank sheet of paper. I'm not exactly sure what this is called or what else it affects, but would we be able to get that back? |

At the bottom of every page, between usernames and avatars, etc. Which, by the way, I love. After having gone through this entire thread, some things I saw that I liked were the music player idea and spoiler tags. |

Like every 30 minutes, then 15 when it was closing down, then I was refreshing the page like every 2 right before it came up. Then I nearly weadled myself. |

Being able to embed music and such like on SI would be great. However, in a forum of this size, it would soon be over-used and annoying. Imagining opening a page and hearing 4 different songs playing at once. Psh, I only checked the progress bar twice. Losers. |

Ju Ju: It's called a Favicon, and I also no longer see it in Firefox. Odd, I thought that it was working last night... |
