Is the "Like" button a substitute for the PM message?
Same here on the notifications.I generally look at the "New Posts" list and would like to see as many of them as possible. White space is visually nice, but I'd rather have more density of posts.
Not sure I understand the "Thanks" issue. Whenever I get a "Thanks" I get an email notification, so no issue knowing about them. I like having the thanks messages (probably 600+ so far), so if "Like" is the new "Thanks" I would like to get notifications.
Same here. Using on Windows PC & Firefox. There's too much wasted space and more scrolling required and just not as efficient to read through the posts as quickly and comfortably as it used to be. And the area to the right is wasted as well. Just too inefficient for my taste. The "like" and "op post" features are meaningless compared to the general usability.I generally look at the "New Posts" list and would like to see as many of them as possible.

I used to receive an email every time I was thanked for a post. Because of that, I never missed a thanks.But the problem with the Thanks button from the old forum is the poster that received it didn't know they had received it unless they checked their User profile page. With the like button you can see them below the post and also who gave them to you.
It is at the little bell for notifications. You can set the preference to send you an email, I'd rather not spam my own inbox too much.I generally look at the "New Posts" list and would like to see as many of them as possible. White space is visually nice, but I'd rather have more density of posts.

Lol. That makes almost no difference. It makes it only about 1/2 inch wider across my monitor and doesn't address all the wasted space, so virtually no change in all the scrolling and extra effort of reading a thread. It's such a small difference, I'm not sure why it's even an option.If you really want to scroll less on your PC try the "Change Width" setting in the upper right hand corner of the screen,.
Ooh, yes... there are lots of new emoticons to choose from. Cool! That was one aspect of the old forum software that seemed very out of date. ?Did we lose all the cool emotes?
Never mind about the emotes - I found them
