A running list of changes since the update...

OK, so, in terms of useful changes, there are two things.

First, you can save drafts of posts.  They will be saved indefinitely (but they don't auto-save).  So, you can write that screed, save, and walk away for a bit. 

Second, you can now mention people!   As an example, I can write @Bonaventure and choose him and he'll get a little alert.  I think that is cool.  I apparently had to turn it on, but it should work for people. 

I'll add more changes to this thread as I enable them/find them.

Can we end the years old moratorium on geo-centrism? Pretty please? 🥺

Give me a good reason.

I can bribe you.

Hey @Kaesekopf, it works.

Hey @Kaesekopf, it works.

This could be fun, for the pingers, perhaps not the pingees.

Under a user's profile settings, there's a section called Look and Layout. There you can enable the auto-saving of drafts.

Return to topics after posting by default
Don't warn on new replies made while posting.

Regarding Drafts:  It was not enabled for "Regular Members".  It was a separate permission that I overlooked.  Whoopsie.  That is fixed and now enabled.  You should see "Save Draft" next to "Preview" and "Post" buttons.

I could enable auto-saving of drafts for everyone, but I will leave that to the individual user to activate...

Cool, the saved draft button finally appeared !

Give me a good reason.

It has legitimacy.

Are avatars viewable yet ? I don't see any. I do have it enabled on my settings.

I can see mine on my profile but not my posts.

ETA: I'm on a phone using Chrome if it matters.

Are you on a pc or laptop or a tablet or a phone?

You should see avatars on all but the phone (or anything else with a small screen, like an ipod).

I see your avatar on your post.

Yes, I'm on an android smart phone.

No big deal really, just curious.

[Padraig]

In the old version, when you went to Unread Topics, there was a button to "Go to most recent post."
That seems to have disappeared. Is there a way to get that back?

Would posting videos be ever available? Some places have good content, but the sites themselves aren't so good.
