Hey Big Al,
I thought your name was Bi gals. You know, like bisexual girls.
What do you love about the new forums? I only see about 100 things I want to excise.
I like how you can see people typing back. I like notifications. I like picture embedding. I like the general look and interface. And most of all it has gotten many of my forum and in-game friends posting again. And also it has promoted anti new forum trolling and anger which is always fun
Thanks! . . . . . . . . . I think
I find it extremely distracting to see other people typing replies to the thread, especially because it moves. The functionality is good but you should be able to hide it if you wish.
I tried to embed a picture and it told me I was not allowed to post links.
You can embed links to things like Youtubby and other trusted sites. For the rest, you need trust level 3.
This from a sticky thread:
Trust Levels
Trust levels are a participation system on the forums. The more you post, like, reply, read, and visit the forums, the more you work your way to a higher trust level. Increased Trust levels grant additional privileges. Everyone who is new starts off at Trust Level 0 but will quickly climb by reading and visiting the forums within their first few days.

Don’t worry about it…gonna happen organically if you keep visiting the forums and participating. It doesn’t do anything for your game or have any bearing on real life. Just hang out.
