I just want to see who has given whichever rating on a given post. Don't care reading opinions.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

It's been said it's coming back; it wasn't turned off on purpose. It's just another thing that got lost during the upgrade process somehow.

Please don't forget about Zed's grouping suggestion either.
As a reminder, suggested groupings that make sense:

I don't have suggestions about the order of the groups relative to each other, aside from the brofist/goldfist being first and the parrot/tophat being last, and don't have suggestions about the order within each group, aside from a few obvious ones such as yes appearing before no and incline appearing before decline.

Let me know when a shoutbox option to disable images is added and we can occasionally bullshit about comics and tabletop again. I'll hold my breath.
"Display images as links" in options, on by default now. The gif spam was taken care of on day one.

Twiglard you'll need to revert/reapply some style edits you made; I upgraded and reconfigured the post ratings addon and there have been quite a few changes.

The bland simplistic iPhone look finally hit the Codex I see. And like modern sites, it loves to steal real state, everything is now more separated, reminds me of Reddit.

Another suggestion: why don't just shift the top menus to the right to make enough space for the troll. There's plenty of horizontal space to do that.

Too much general complaining and argumentative responses in this thread but too few detailed, useful complaints.

Just look at the old style and recreate it in XF2. Bester already did it for his "Retro Mod", maybe you can even use his CSS hacks.

A few things stand out in particular still:

- The separator between threads in the thread list is almost invisible now. It needs to be darker.
- On the main page, replace the "chat box" graphic next to subforum names with the old "music bars" graphic.
- Can we have the usernames above the avatars again?

Some things I've noticed:

- No "bullets" option in the formatting / text box
- Can only automatically quote one (recent) poster, chain replies have been turned off (please turn them back on)
- After quoting someone, it is not possible to go back to the beginning of the textbox, no matter how many times you press enter you'll stay in the quote textbox.
- Alternate coloring of posts - this sucks IMO and should be removed.
- Black line under "[X] minutes ago" and white line before the signature - inconsistent. And the line separating the user info from the post. Should be changed from black / white to one color with much lower contrast to the bg.
- Too much spacing above and below aforementioned lines
- "RateBrofist" does not actually rate brofist, it just opens the emoji menu.

Ew, ratings don't need the text explanation next to them. We know what they are, and anyone who doesn't can use the tooltip.
This was already a thing.

Another nit pick:
The emoji listings should be changed back to
Brofist x 1
from the current
Brofist: 1
The emojis also need to be bigger, I zoom out and even I can't see them. We need to witness the glorious art.

Also, the edit text box require some contrast at the border, similar to the permanent reply box at the bottom of the page.

The nu text box also gulps newlines while I'm typing for some reason.

That is how it has always been.

- "RateBrofist" does not actually rate brofist, it just opens the emoji menu.

If you double-click on it, it gives a brofist rating. But the "RateBrofist" name is kind of lame. Maybe change it to "Brofist / Rate".

The emoji listings should be changed back to
Brofist x 1

Agreed.
