Board software - Q&A for the new stuff

Looks clean! Is there a way to jump to new messages?

The entire board's "read" status got reset to unread in the conversion. Sorry, everyone!

Mark a forum as "read" and it will take you to the first unread message moving forward.

Yep.

I did it for all forums using the "mark forums read" thingy under the Forums header.
 
It sure I know how to work the search feature. I tried to search “Dawkins” and it did not find any posts.

Maybe it only does new posts? Or I have to fill in more than just the search term?

Overall the board looks good and is super quick! Big thanks to -jk, devil84, and those who guided the tech part of this!

Edit to add (and to experiment): I just retried searching for “Dawkins” and this post is the only one that popped up. So the search must be for new posts only, at least at this point. BUT it did bring me to the specific post, not just the thread in which the term may be found. Big improvement!

Second edit to add: the search works for some pre-transfer terms (“goal,” “Bitcoin”) but still does not work for “Dawkins.” Odd.

Looks good. But where'd my sporks go? I feel devalued.

One necessary fix: the "Forum" link atop the DBR front page still tries to go to the old URL, resulting in either a gateway issue, an insecure site issue, or an unresponsive issue.

Edited to add: how do you quote multiple posts?
 
Two more (on mobile, at least):

1) Clicking on a thread marked as read should take you to the last post, not the first.

2) Is there a way to add links at the top from EK to Off-Topic and vice versa. Right now it looks like two clicks are required each time.
 
Just want to say congrats to -jk and anyone else involved in this. New look seems very good. I'm sure there a few glitches that will need to be worked out, but this seems to have gone quite well.

That was part of the old board and is gone.

Are sporks even a thing any more?
