I love drama. It's so dramatic.
Can we please have it show which topics we have replied in with a different icon? It used to exist and disappeared in the last change.

Hoping you'll address the speed issues a number of us have? I find EB very slow compared to other sites.

The fembos go so overboard.

Also will it be possible to just see the sub-forums we are interested in? Currently there is no way to minimise these. Very exciting, in any case!

As Amber said we will collate the questions so they are all answered. I will quickly say though that no, we can't go back to the old forum software, BUT this new upgrade is really exciting and there are some cool new functions that we will all be able to use. It will be mobile friendly , which I know most people are really excited about

It would be good if you could vote or like responses rather than everyone quoting or stating they agree with a particular post. This post has been edited by Display anemone: 06/01/2013, 05:47 PM

I would like the 'We are discussing' window to have the same function to go to your last read post in the thread as the 'today's active topics' page does Though, am guessing as you are implementing the change, you probably have already made the changes you are going to make. In which case, did I miss a thread where you could suggest improvements?
