I'll look into that, but no promises.
Somebody somewhere asked for fluid layout styles. Those are now available. If only I could find the original request...

@pakalolo, this is one of my previous posted questions that I never got a definitive answer to:
What's the white eye(?) icon that appears to the right of a thread in the New Posts thread?. Someone (Siebter?) said it signifies watched thread, but that can't be because I have it next to threads I never followed or even opened. :/, I'd really like to know. If you don't know, the answer can wait since I know you guys are busy.
Edited to add: I figured it out! It is for tagging Watched Threads. As far as I can see in a superficial lookover, my WTs are being correctly tagged in all forums & sub-forums, except in New Posts - as I said, add'l. unwatched threads are being erroneously tagged as watched. It's a simple software glitch. It isn't even significant enough to fix.
Ha! Looks like I answered my own question.

I guess that does the same thing. Kinda. Thanks.
Thread name, not my response BTW...
I thought I couldn't do this without and add-on but it seems that I can. I'll work on it.
edit: added.

These are what I mean. Are others seeing them?
They may be related to new messages but they don't seem consistent.
They indicate something new. Could be posts or reactions.

Thanks Pak.
I have been meaning to ask this for a while. I don't know much about being on the other side of a web forum. Does it cause any stress or use up a lot of bandwidth if I stay connected to the site with several (many) tabs open? I tend to leave a browser window open almost all the time, often with many tabs, but I don't need to do that if it is consuming all the time rather than just when I do a refresh.

You can leave as many windows as you like open, server doesn't do anything unless you load a page.

You're welcome. I thought it was a nice addition but I couldn't use the smiley because it wound up looking distorted. I made our own from some free clipart that I found.
The "likes" system works a little differently from FC. We have a "reaction score" rather than a likes count. "Like" and "love" increase the reaction score by 1. "Dislike" decreases it by 1. The other reactions do not change the reaction score.
Here is a good example:
As the heading explains, it's for discussion that is vapor-related but not about a specific device or model.

Yeah I pissed on the rug...... so what
I've noticed a few things, the first is a issue with picture heavy threads like the picture thread or show off your grows. When there is a new post and I click on the thread it takes me to the new post but before it loads older post load first and the page scrolls up toward the middle of the thread which is a bit annoying. The second thing is I'm no longer getting the other options for a like such as the haha, I did have those options before but don't anymore.
The picture issue is on both my iPad and iPhone, I do have high speed internet but it's Canadian high speed
the like issue is only on my iPad

I don’t think there is a fix, I’ve just gotten used to it.
I have no problem with the like issue you mention - just checked and when I click “like” several emojis are available to choose. Maybe a restart will fix it.

I don't know if this is the right place, but recall a problem with some people signing up with Gmail and the "fuck" in combustion. It may be a windows problem too:

“The latest version of Windows Mail has broken the settings for Gmail,” confirmed a Windows Insider MVP. Stating that the only workarounds are to either a) remove your Gmail account from the Mail app and weaken the security settings in Gmail by allowing access to less secure apps (guide), or b) remove your account and use Gmail’s manual IMAP settings (guide). If you are lucky, you may be able to recover some of your lost email from spam afterwards.

@unsorted deselect all of the email related checkboxes on your account preferences page as you said.
And also go to your watched threads page and disable email notifications.
That should do it.

Just to be clear....this is not a new circumstance for me. I have been receiving the unwanted emails going back indefinitely. I used a Gmail account in my FC setup, which until recently, I seldom checked. But I got a new android phone a few months ago and I included the Gmail account in setting up the mail client on the phone. So now, the phone alerts me via Gmail every time someone posts in a watched thread. I'd prefer that email was not sent at all.@unsorted deselect all of the email related checkboxes on your account preferences page as you said.

I've deselected all the email checkboxes I can find, but no change so far.
