Can we get the Frontend Team to take a look at the Conversations page? It's very hard to tell what's unread.

Every time I visit the GameFAQs forums for some reason (usually the result of a search) I always get confused by their ridiculously low post per page count. It's like 10 or something? I always go like "huh nothing else in this thread huh, oh we-- no wait there's like 5 pages, goddamnit gamefaqs"
Ferny, apologies if someone has already brought this up, but are there any plans to have a seperate set of (at least some of the) preferences for desktop and mobile? Would be ideal to have things like images/avatars off for mobile for data reasons, but have them on when browsing from a desktop.
if i could make a suggestion
delete this css for the top breadcrumbs
@media (max-width: 480px)
{
.Responsive .breadcrumb a span {
display: none;
}
hiding the labels on the forums turns the links into tiiiiiny buttons that are hard to hit on a phone. they should still fit with the text labels there. and if they dont, just make the font size a little smaller or something

Wasn't really sure where to put this but I have a tiny suggestion for the next version. Is it possible to disable the "click to expand" feature for content in quote boxes that are referencing an outside source (let's say an OP is quoting an article)? Just a little QOL update I think would save some time in quote heavy threads.
Also, excellent job on the site so far guys!

So uh...what's the deal with animated avatars? I got a message from a mod that they were no longer supported, but days later I still see people using them :/
They're technically supported by the forum software but they aren't allowed by the forum rules. It's just that it's too difficult to make the software not support them, so mods are simply counting on us to respect the rules.
I see that you too have been struck down by this anti-fun menace.
Yeah, haha, got me in the end. Now I'm just some generic blue thing.
I ain't no tattle tale though. If you have an animated avatar, good luck, haha.
Well, ignoring the jpg compression, yeah, I can see why it was hard to read. (though I do notice that's in a quote box, which is darker, rather than the original post) Will have to see how things look on the official theme, but this is the things we have to learn - purple might not be the best tect colour to use for fancy text. Need to learn what's possible on Era for when I make OTs (which is when I'd plan to use more fancy formatting) since porting my old thread from the previous era made me realise I'm going to have to redesign my template to suit this site's strengths and weakness (ended up having to cut bits out and even split it into two posts just to make it work here - mostly due to the image limitations).You tell me
Any chance we can have the option of choosing a different theme?
I'm mobile only and this theme is a huge backwards step in usability and readability.
Text too small, too much extraneous information, huge header on every page, I could go on. Ideally I'd like something equivalent to the old mobile experience.
I find myself visiting less because it's just aggravating when I do.

Yeah, I’m happy you guys changed it back to 50 PPP on mobile. I prefer 50.
Though I’m kinda disappointed about the Likes Received thing being removed, if I’ll be honest. It made me think there would be a Likes system like on FB or YT and other places and I actually welcomed the idea. Did most people not want that or something? Shame if so. Oh well. :/

I'd suggest swapping the hide text and spoiler buttons, so spoiler is on the main bar. Or have both of them on it. As it is a lot of people are using hide text since it's the more visible option and it's really awkward to have to quote a post to read a spoiler tag.
An inline highlight spoiler like on GAF would also be convenient.
Those have probably been suggested already, but worth echoing.

I made a thing. This userstyle makes the header sticky. This way you can actually know when you get a notification without having to scroll to the top (as they come in real time)

Post numbers can be used instead of page numbers for these purposes.
Very nice. I've been wanting this since the site launched. Hopefully we'll see an official implementation sometime in the future.I made a thing. This userstyle makes the header sticky.

If there will I hope it's optional since on 16:9 monitors vertical real estate is way more limited than horizontal and I'd hate to have a forced board in front of my face all the time. Annoys me on plenty other sites already.
Is there a way to disable lazy loading for images? I have plenty of bandwidth, the page jumping around is a lot more annoying than a few unnecessary image downloads. It also causes issues with stuff like jumping to the most recent post or bottom of the page.

You are indeed using it incorrectly.
- Click on every +quote you want to quote.
- At the bottom of the page, in the left, there is a button ''Insert quotes''. Click on it.
- It will open up a screen that allows you to select which quotes you want to use, or move them around, so you can reply to someone else from later in the thread first)
- When you then click on ''Quote these messages'', they will be quoted accordingly.
Awesome! Thank you! I completely missed that despite it being right in front of my eyes!
No problem :) When i first got here i made the same mistake. Never thought a button would be on the left for that :)
I hope this will prove beneficial for other users too :)
Happy posting!
I think it's also driving me a bit crazy that the top 'breadcrumbs' bar has Video Games -> Hangouts and EtcetEra -> Hangouts, but no link to Announcements. Don't be hatin' on the Announcements board guys.
Would you consider adding some distinction so that, when scrolling through the front page of Video Games for example, you can tell at a glance which threads you are currently watching? While it's easy enough to just go to the Watched Threads page to find out if a particular Watched thread has been bumped, it would be nice to just scroll down the page of all recent activity and know whether or not a thread you're currently watching has any new posts.
