Thank you very much. I'll pass your kind words on to our developers. Glad it makes the site a little better for you.

Thanks guys.  I appreciate the addition of grays & other toned down colors so that it's not so bright and hard on older eyes.  Just went away for a few days, came back and y'all had it looking much better.  One thought, I think it's been mentioned before, could you have the avatars fill up more of the gray bar?  Just upsize it 20-30 pixels?  I figure if that's all I've got to ask for, y'all are doing pretty good.  I'll do a plus one on the last unread feature just so that's got more weight to it :)  Keep up the good work!

Control v worked for copy and paste, but it looks like it chopped off lots of text, at least on my phone.

Look at the most recent update with pictures in the so i accidentally bought a challenge car thread.

If you do a hard return before you paste (instead of pasting right after text) then it usually doesn't cut off text. Usually.

Ugh sorry guys, but the spelling has gone again on Chrome.  It worked yesterday, it worked earlier this morning, but it's stopped again now.

We're working on the spelling and right-click funkiness. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And HoserRacing, I hear you. After we get done with some of the more functional fixes we'll take a look at this.

Okay, update for everyone: We had installed an update to the editor to solve the display jumping issue that SVreX pointed out. However, that update seems to be the culprit for the non-working links and spell check issues. 

So we're undoing that update and then working on another fix for the jumping issue.

Also, the leaderboard will be reinstated shortly!

So not to throw more wrenches, but I just learned that I can't paste into the text box on my tablet.

Long pressing, double tapping, nothing works. I even tried it in a text box for a quote and nothing happened

Android tablet with chrome, and I cleared the cache when I fixed things on my phone like a week ago.

I like the move of the red (unread) dots over a little bit.  It was my last real visual complaint.  Keep up the good work!

When you mouse over the "features" pull down then move the mouse away, the fade-away is really long (ok, not really, but its longer than normal.  500ms?  1000ms?).  I keep trying to move my mouse into that area to click on a thread and the pull-down reappears.

I'm not sure exactly what time the latest update went live, but I this may have been posted just before then. I believe this should be fixed now. Mind giving it another try? I can paste on my phone.

Long press paste is working today, thanks. 

I like the new pull down menu. It took me a second to realize it changed, but I like the ease of use now. And the leader board, obviously.

Our pleasure. And yes, the drop-down menu for mobile devices went live yesterday. Gets rid of a lot of the extra space at the top.

The gray bars are a definite improvement on mobile. 

 

I miss the the shortcut buttons at the top of the page. :-(.

Not sure if this has been brought up in the last 22 pages but here's another request.  Every other forum I visit, after making a post it jumps back to the thread with your post now in it.  If you hit the back arrow it then jumps back too the index page, even if you read through 2 or 3 pages before posting.  Not GRM, you have to click back past then posting page then through each page to get back to the index.  Very annoying.  Should this be in first world problems?

Aaaggghh, even worse.  I made a type which I spotted after posting and without thinking I hit edit.  I then had to page back through the posting page twice!!!!
