Seriously, I know it is a lot to change when something works decently well and has for a decade...

...but it is 2021. How can I not upload a video directly? Or even a gif?

I should be able to do that. I should be able to quick reply with a gif too. These are standard things these days and I actually post less on here because it is so limiting and feels a decade old.

Yeah this place needs a migration to a BB forum. Whatever this is is very primitive. I can't even see when someone quotes me

Huge overhaul in process right now. Lots of user and forum function changes. Couple more months and we'll be going live with it.

ML…what’s the status of the overhaul?

Anything that would keep many of the fake duplicate accounts from happening? It’s getting really annoying. I’d like to see simple two factor authentication tied to cell phone or maybe federated authentication against Apple, google, or FB.

Not sure when it'll launch, but it should cut down on the trolls that keep coming back with new usernames after they get clicked.

@Reese95w The feed shows content of people you follow (like twitter/insta). Under the settings you still have "View My Profile" for your content. You can also now mention/direct message people Smile

Vital is certainly better than some.

Total “Thumbs Up” on the Alerts, where some one likes your comment. A little but excellent change!

Is it possible to add emoticons. Thumbs up or down is limiting.

People post some funny comments and it would be great if you could just show some appreciation for it without having to post a lol.

For as popular as this forum appears to be, even around the world, I am surprised that there are few to no upgrades to this software.  No one seems to pay attention to complaints until they get so bad that there is a major uproar.  Maybe it’s too much of a cash drain… what do I know.  🤷🏼‍♂️
