I feel the change of format disencouraged chatter in the forum. Before daily posts today other than this one says 2 and feel we had less posts in the whole time of 2lewd compare to a week of the previous one.

I'm sure people are just busy... or struck with a magnitude-ten migraine myself. Yee-ouch.

Although that said, I wouldn't mind getting some super-basic QoL improvements. Signatures and usertitles should be easy stuff that lets our users show off their unique personalities. Wouldn't mind changing the layout of posts to match OldLewd, either; it was nice seeing individual stats and all that stuff. How's about?

I'd say the main issues are the lack of likes/loves - they provided a handy way to respond to a post when you don't really have anything substantial to say about it.

Another one, for me at least, is the mobile experience is significantly worse. The text editor is still broken on Firefox on Android, and the synchronous reply posting (instead of clicking reply and having the post appear without having to reload the entire page) really slows down posting on mobile. this could at least be half fixed if the forum respected the "Put the editor in source mode by default?" setting.

Another, smaller gripe I have is with the banners. Often they take longer to load than the rest of the page, and it's rather annoying when the banner suddenly pops in just as you're about to click a link. I imagine this could probably be fixed just by having some sort of placeholder there that takes up the same amount of space as the banner image.

Oh, and I also don't get notified when someone quotes or replies to me

I totally agree with you about the likes/loves. As I spend a lot of time lurking here but don't post that much, those were a nice way to still "contribute" to the discussions.

For me personally it's also the likes. I don't post as often as I have before, but I like to lurk. Being able to Love a post is a nice way of staying in the discussion without having to say anything. Plus it's a nice way to show people are listening even if they don't respond or have nothing to say. Hope it gets implemented soon.

This gives me an idea!

Azur Lane anime series look dope. I haven't finished the first episode yet but it looks a bit better than Kancolle.

Was never really interested in Halloween as a holiday. Friend kept pestering me about it too, way to annoy me.

It's not necessarily my favorite holiday but it is my favorite time of year, if that makes any sense. October is objectively the best month.

Currently scripting a really long and in-depth YouTube video about a philosopher that I got interested in because of anime

It's going to take some time but it's going to be really good; probably the most work I've put into a video so far.

I sent a short PM straight to admin just now about the profile problem; he will have a look at it when he comes back. I cannot promise anything beyond what I wrote, but it surely breaks the ice to start my day.

Oooo! Who's the philosopher?

More importantly, you have a YouTube channel? That's awesome, hun! I'd love to see it, if you're comfy with that. ^^

I'm pretty sure he posted a run of EoSD several months back.
