Once again, I imagine there might be some teething issues since I just made this tonight.

Seriously though, this is just like it was before. Same good colors with better workings under the hood. Thanks!

That's so much easier on the eyes than Subsilver... I've concluded that we are, in fact, living under a benevolent dictator.

I can live with the slightly sliced buttons. Thanks, Mike, much appreciated.

Hey guys, I think I know how to fix the small issues with the new "classic" BlackSoul theme, but I'm hitting the road Saturday morning for a week-and-a-half long trip, so I won't be able to tinker with it more until I get back. Hopefully, the board is in a state where it is fairly usable at the moment.

Everything seems to be working fairly smoothly right now. Have a good trip, and thanks for all the effort you're putting into this place.

Perfect! Thank you!

I don't see any obvious glitches, everything looks pretty much the way I remember from before the update.

Finally found this thread. I will join the chorus of appreciation for the work you're putting into this, Mike.

So I just realized we actually have a widget (or whatever the right term is) for notifications on replies to individual posts, holy shit. This is probably the single most useful update the board could have gotten.

This place is running without a doubt the slowest and most disfunctional it ever has for me. It took several attempts since this morning to even be able to open a forum at all to complain, and I still can't get the Sci Fi forum to load. Some kind of process or something must be running in bursts and crippling performance, because at other times it's been functional enough, if always slower then the previous version. Right now its lagging just picking up my keystrokes.

Keystroke are handled client-side within your browser. If it's taking time between you hitting keys and the letters showing up in text fields, that's on your end, not the server.

<nod> The only time I ever have keystroke lagging is when I'm running a 3D render at the same time, and it's such a big and complex scene it's thrashing my system pretty hard.

Keystroke lag is almost exclusively a browser/PC issue on the user side from what I'm aware. Personally I've noticed pages occasionally taking longer to load, but little other problems otherwise.

I will say this. Depending on the time of day the forum does run extremely slowly for me. Like right now it takes me about 5-15 seconds to load a page. And posting tends to just freeze up.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.
