Thanks for my quotes, Dan! I'm still looking for that dot. I just found the quick links at the top of the page "Home Earwolf Productions How Did This Get Made Musical Mondays..." Maybe I'm just missing it? I tried on Chrome and Edge (Chrome is better)

It’s a giant yellow dot...on my phone.

Oh, I forgot that it turns into a star if you've already commented in the thread. It's here:

Nothing is happening when I click that star. Perhaps the issue is on my end...?

ETA: On Edge that Star isn't even showing up.

ETAA: Do you guys really need a reason for editing?

[Cameron H. 23786]

Oh! Okay! I get it now. I can click on that star (only in Chrome) only if there's a new post (i.e. the star is yellow). I guess I wish I could do the same thing even when it's grayed out. I know I can just click on the last page. It was just nice to be able to click the title and be shuffled right there.

(Sorry to bug you with this, man. I'm sure you weren't really wanting to field this crap right now.)

The "reason for editing" field should be optional, according to the forum config. Is it requiring you to fill it out before it will allow you to edit?

I'm seeing all of this for the first time, too, and I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard not to do the usual nerd-who-hates-change thing.

No, apparently it’s not required. It just surprised me the first time

Most of all, I miss the white text on the gray background. The white feels a bit harsh on the eyes.

On the plus side, I think it supports emoji now.

So, what does allowing the forum to send me notifications do? I keep ignoring the popup in case it will do something I find support irritating on my phone.

Somewhat related to this but there is a tab for themes down there. Dan - are we getting new themes later like a night time theme for poor Cameron H’s eyes?

This new leaderboard thing is fascinating, and has also brought out some competition in me. Cameron, you're like 600 posts behind July for top contributor so honestly you should get on that lol.

Don't switch to default! I'm still seeing dots from it's blinding whiteness.

I’m very excited about this mobile friendly version. That’s all.

Guys I'm trying SO HARD to get the grey background back and nothing I do is working and it's making me feel crazy. 

I'm really sorry if I've upset y'all. I just really wanted new people to be able to use the forums again and so this is what had to be done  

Please be patient with me...

I've done some layout work too, and knowing how frustrated I get fighting with my wordpress layouts currently, I totally get the crazy feeling. Best of luck!

Oh my gosh! I'm sorry if it sounded like we were being ungrateful. We are. We appreciate everything you do!

[EvRobert 1684]

Agreed! thank you for the hard work. Change always takes getting used to, but it's not the worst

[SaraK 1980]

I just logged into this forum on a computer for the first time since the update, and wow my profile has a lot of information. Apparently I won the day in December? Was this always an option?

And I was able to scroll back through my personal feed and see its just me talking to people about 12 Dates of Christmas, which sounds about right. 

Now I have to figure out a picture to put in here because I lost that trapeze photo I had years ago in a phone purge.

I hope when you saw that the "You win" music from the minis played in your head.
