Trump voters celebrate massive tax cuts for everyone but themselves...

Agreed. Let's keep the politics talk to purely educational information. No need to start flame wars or be insulting people based on a difference of a opinion. That's not helpful and we're here to help. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I see - cool.
Well I'm on a Mobil but the site looks genuinely retro for the most part. Guess I'll have to re-learn this ride! ;)
Also good to see GIF supported systems

Glad to have you!

Is anon really anon?

Myself and mods can see the account behind anons, yes. Most of the time we won't need to check unless there is a problem though.

on the old help, i didnt have to put a semi-colon between my names

sorry, i guess its a dash, not a semicolon

I was super confused for a moment there.

You mean you used to have a space instead?
Yeah, it seemed the old Help had very few restrictions on Usernames. If people have a lot of issues with the no-space rule, we can put it back. Usually people just use an underscore or hyphen. Otherwise it makes tagging difficult. ;)

Gotcha. :) And complaints are okay. They just tell me what needs fixing. ๐Ÿ˜„
Many of the changes are outlined in the FAQ page.
So, the most obvious changes are:

1) A change in Markdown/formatting. I'm hoping this one catches on a little more, as using "markdown" is generally faster to type and more widely accepted than embedding HTML tags. As with many things, will need to be tweaked and updated over time before it's perfect.

2) Auto-parsing urls, images, videos, etc. This is still a little buggy, and I've actually got an update that's built (Still untested, which is why I haven't sent it live yet) that should make it a little bit better.
The actual feature of this gives a "preview" of the site before you click on it. However, it's not always desired to do so. The update will continue to auto-parse links to images and videos, however, normal domains will just become clickable links. (The preview functionality is still in place, but you have to wrap your url in square brackets to show the preview)

3) Emoji! ๐Ÿ˜„ Emoji can be typed by entering a colon : followed by the name of the emoji you want. A pop-up showing some emoji that match your search will appear that's navigable using the arrow keys and pressing "enter" to select the emoji you want. (Or you can point and click with your mouse)

4) Tagging users with @. Just like with Emoji, after you type an @ sign, a pop up will appear with users that you can tag. This works dually as an invite feature. When you tag a user, they are invited to the post. Additionally, other users can click on the tag to go to the profile of that user. @Rockster160
This will be tweaked soon to be a little cleaner, and also display which users actually get invited. (No need to invite a user to a post they're already subscribed to)

5) A link to the Donate page was also added at the top of the FAQ page.

*) Many more subtle things, but they should be mainly general experience improvements rather than things you'll explicitly see.

Outside of those, I've done my best to keep things as close to the old site as possible, but now that we're here- the possibilities are endless.

Many of the things on my list right now are upgrades and small tweaks, as well as increasing functionality for the mods. (So they can keep us safe from trolls and such)

Is this a question for what's changed, or suggestions for what's to come?

Everyone is extremely grateful for this 'resurrection' as it were.
