I'll update it today if ITR doesn't do it while I'm not looking, been busy at work.

We're back, baby!

In my experience, Adblock/Ghostery sometimes (rarely) doesn't play nice with JS-reliant sites, especially Ghostery. I found that I often had to turn it off temporarily to use some features of some JS-using sites. Nowadays I use uMatrix (and uBlock), which doesn't really have the same problem...

I'm getting this too. Actually, it's not that much worse than the normal layout. At least the black on white and normal-sized text is way easier on the eyes. :V

Sounds like a JS problem. What browser and extensions are you running?

Large wheels removed from list, since they were implemented. I'm not totally sure what you mean by a "hydraulic" block. Can you elaborate? Ideally, the block's function and shape/look should be self-evident from googling the text.

Well, thanks for the response, Von. I sympathize with the desire to keep up with WM activity, but I obviously disagree with going about it in this way. The fundamental problem here is that the community produces content at a faster rate than the forums can facilitate consuming it. Splitting a...

It's just a web development rule of thumb I learned many years ago. It isn't really about whether you really lose 80 or 50 or 20%, but that each additional hierarchical level incurs a significant cost in the user experience, and by extension a cost in activity. It's natural for web developers to...

In case a lot of mods actually did come, a subforum could be implemented in response to the concrete situation. In the actual situation, it is both unhelpful and actively harming the user experience. (As a rule of thumb, each nesting level costs you 80% of your users.)

Looks cool, but why is it called "the Vortex"? It doesn't look very vortical. :v

Given current activity, modding definitely doesn't need subforums, nor does any forum. It's a costly solution (from a user convenience POV) for a problem that doesn't exist and for all we know may not ever exist. I can't believe anyone is struggling to keep up with the current activity in the...

Von, pretty please stop listening to powerusers suggesting to add more and more subforums. No one except powerusers ever check subforums. Also, please merge all subforums back into their main forums. :v There's basically no good reason to have public subforums at all until we're rocking at...

It's a conspiracy. Literally everyone on the forum is in on it except for you.

You should've kept a "Down for maintenance" page ready. It's better to have users check one place and find it's down for a scheduled period (so they know when to check back) than make them periodically check two places for an unknown period of time. Now people are going to be confused about this...

Is this thread completely broken for anyone else too? Firefox/Chrome both.
