In these early minutes of the new forum, give me a little bit of grace to squash bugs and implement things that are obviously needed. There will probably be a few things that I need to fix over the next few days, but it's my hope that we get everything set up by draft day. Thanks for your patience. I appreciate it!

I like that clicking on a thread takes you to the most recent page.

Unless you do what I do and open in a new tab...it will bring you to the beginning of the thread.

Hmm...that seems to be the one thing I can't do. When I open a multi-page thread it goes right to the first post instead of the last. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

It always boggles my mind how good you are at this. When you post a tweet do we have to do the same process as the last iteration of the site? I like that you can search gifs in the site to use

I did a test X link in the we are here thread...I just copied the link and didnt add brackets etc..It put a link in, but I'd rather have it show-up the way it did on the other forum with the content...I'm going to try and copy and paste in the meantime while Olson is cleaning the place up.

When I reply on a multi-page thread, it takes me back to top of 1st page of the thread.

So the tweets sometimes take a minute to show up. That's because I implemented what is called a failback card. For people who are blocked from twitter (or X or whatever the fuck) it should show them a card with just the text of the tweet and others it should show the content. But it sometimmes takes a bit to load and I might have to tweak that a bit.

Another bug to squash. When I click on the notification of a person quoting me, it takes me to the top of the first page of the thread.

On a single page thread, it takes me to the actual post.

This should now be fixed Greed. I suppose you'll see this in notifications and can verify?

Hmm, the multi work username doesn't seem to work.

@greediron works, @Mike Olson doesn't

AHA! Ok I will see how to fix that. I bet it's quotes or something like that.

hmm, it also notified that you mentioned me, I assume by simply quoting that mention.
