Itās good to be back
Interesting new layout, hope you guys donāt experience any bugs with it!
Luckily we have some really good help straight from the source when we do experience bugs to fix things!
I had a feeling it was going to be discourse, haha.
This reboot is awesome! loving the updates. Is there a ānight modeā by any chance?
Yeah - I wanted to tweak a few things on the night/dark mode first but Iāll make it active this weekend!
So this finally happened!
It is a big change over the old forums (and hopefully youāll agree much better) but I hope this will help the forums keep up with other modern platforms like Reddit and Facebook.
I am biased, since we founded the company that wrote this forum software ā but that also means Iām here to help with whatever questions people have.
Here are some new user tips and tricks for getting started:
Also you can send a PM to @discobot and get an interactive tutorial. Thereās even a badge you can earn for completing the tutorial
Am I just not seeing where feedback can be left for people using the BST or is that gone?
EDIT: And I just noticed where you mentioned that in the original postā¦
It has been preserved. They are working on a way to re-integrate it with the new software!
VERY COOL!
Strong work to all involved!
this looks clean! <3.
Good choice picking Discourse; I was hoping that it would be the replacement. I love the emphasis that Discourse puts on readingā¦IIRC, they take into account number of posts read when calculating Trust Level.
So far so good!
Only thing I would ask for (or assist me in finding) a night mode feature. Something with a black or dark background, and not so, bright white all the time blinding me at night layout. Thats the only thing that has really come to mind that Id like to address.
Everything looks good, feels fresh and I think will be second nature in no time. Thanks for all your hard work! I do love it here. <3
Yep! Iāll have that activated by Monday.

Super stoked!
Is there a way I can make the āSuggested Topicsā that appear at the bottom not all be threads I started between 4 and 8 years ago?
Interesting - that hasnāt been my experience. Iāll look into it but I bet @codinghorror could weigh in on what the algorithm is doing.
While doing some BST work with another user, they mentioned that you have a limit on private messages per day? Just thought that (if this is true) this should be reevaluated. Could create unwanted miscommunication.
This is also how it shows up for me. All of the Suggested Topics at the bottom of a post are ones that I started, and not recently. Its cool to have a refresher, but. . . yea. Just a thought.
I have increased the number of private messages per day - I think the idea was to reduce chance of spambot coming in, etc. But agreed it was low. Thanks for the feedback.
The agorithm seems highly biased towards posts you started that have āunreadā responses.
