one thing I liked about TVT's forum system, as well as Vanilla, was that it didn't have bottom-of-post signatures.
I'd gotten really, really sick of sig images.
they're funny or nifty the first time, perhaps interesting a few more times after that, but thereafter they're just something to gloss past, and to take up bandwidth to load.

Autistic Avenue would prefer it if the "Flag" button and IP address were above the sig instead of below, but if everyone else is fine with the way it is, I'm not gonna whine.
i kept accidentally clicking flag but i don't think i ever actually accidentally flagged something because you have to type out a reason for the flagging and then submit it

...I don't have permission to have a signature either. How bizarre.
I think we should ideally put the Flag link after the gear icon, so it can't be confused with Quote.
Actually, we should just unpack the gear icon completely, like it used to be.
i'm guessing that, as a mod, you see a gear icon on every post? Regular users see the icon only on our own posts, and we're unlikely to be flagging those...
Well, the gear only appears when I mouse over a post.
That said, the gear only contains Edit and Delete for me, so I presume it only contains Edit for you. Which makes it pretty pointless, and just there to make me have to do an additional cursor-move and an additional click to do an edit.

I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
There used to be an option that would allow posts to appear the second they were made - it was called "live updating" - but it seems to be gone now. It would help...

Also, I know this is a lot of requests, but could you make it so that the PM text begins under the avatars again? It currently begins next to them and it looks awkward...
I think they'd be cool if we could tweak how they work to something manageable. They do seem a bit obnoxious as is (which is presumably why MJ's uncomfortable with 'em).

...now I would ask for them to be formattable like normal posts but that would probably just get really hairy...and also take away from their very simple, IRC-like nature.

That would also probably require more than simple CSS tweaks, too...

is there a way to move the flag button next to the quote button?
Makes this pad look more quaint and gives it character, I say.
Also, i just dislike the inconsistency.

Oh. I have a signature anyway. I'm such a rebel.
Hope you like being not a Katawa Shoujo reference.

All it does is make editing your post slightly less intuitive if you're new to the site.
EVEN IF YOU'RE ON THE LAST PAGE.
this forum system must be anti-pirate, because it is clearly pro-ninja
and in general just make formatted (and formattable) like normal posts?
For example, "/me does something" becoming:
glennmagusharvey does something
