I may have missed this but is there any way we can have an option to turn off the top bar following your scrolling? It's weird to have a static thing following while scrolling.

Useful yeah I am just not a fan. If I'm alone in this I'm sure I can figure out a way to get it to stop. I was asking because other xenforo forums don't have it so I figured it could be an option that could be exposed

EDIT:
I should probably clarify I was asking about a per user option not for the entire site or default
With Stylus:
CSS:
.p-navSticky {
    position: static;
}

Quoting seems painfully clumsy now. Too many clicks, especially if you want to reply to just one particular part of a post.
Selecting part of the post to quote it works the same as before. No need to edit anything.

Use Stylus or even just uBlock Origin to disable it.
Code:
##.p-navSticky.is-sticky

This center alignment for avatars and names is 100% GEH.

But I agree, getting functionality back is more important that slight aesthetikkk tweaks.

Like, for example, fix the Tapatalk support. How am I supposed to shitpost while taking a shit? Using the mobile site? Like an animal?

If any of you with JS or other web design experience can help with fixing Froala editor's behavior with regard to nested quotes, it would be much appreciated.

There's special handling of Shift+Backspace and Shift+Delete. It might fix some of quote-editing woes, at least partially. Try using it to delete stuff before quotes while having the cursor at the beginning of the quote, or toward the quote when being right outside of it.

I have a question. I'm not a webdeveloper by any means but would it be possible to enable emoji support in posts? Is it deliberate that it doesn't work?

What I mean is: I write a comment and press Win+. which naturally opens up a popup with emojis, I select one but it doesn't appear in the post after clicking the reply button (it *does* appear while typing).

What content exactly?
If I told you, I'd have to kill you. At least until we prevent the possibility of doing it again.

@Taluntain when will tags get implemented?
Soon, I hope.

I liked the slight zoom when mousing over ratings.
I'm sure a lot of people did, but unfortunately features here often tend to get shot down prematurely.

See the Tapatalk thread, push support is now part of the forum core. But I'm probably going to install Tapatalk too anyway as they're likely going to kill our account there otherwise, they're already sending out threatening emails. Meh.

Possible, but requires updating the database to make it work, which is a bit of a PITA. I thought DU would do it when the forums were down as that was a good opportunity for it, but it didn't happen. Now that things are back in motion, the opportunity and motivation isn't really there any more. Whether or not DU deliberately didn't do it because he doesn't want emojis here, I don't know. Some should still work, but it's hit and miss.

Why even support such an outdated ecosystem? You've got mobile pages, explicit tapatalk support seems like a waste of resources to support a redundant way to access the forums.

Up until now, push notifications were only available in Tapatalk and a lot of people absolutely loved them and wanted Tapatalk just for that. Now, whether there are other important Tapatalk features besides that, I don't really know. I only used Tapatalk a few times myself to see what it's like. Assuming that nothing else is a big deal, getting rid of it for good once they pay out the remaining few advertising bucks shouldn't be an issue. But if they kill the account due to inactivity, they keep those few bucks too.

Twiglard, two cosmetic questions:
- Could we have the default Codex troll avatar back for people who haven't bothered to set one? Whenever I see people running around with their initials, I feel like I'm reading my inbox and it makes me hate them.
- With the Spoiler tags, would it be possible to remove the "Spoiler:" prefix if the user has provided a text name for it like it was before? So, if I were to type [ spoiler=Click me], the button would just read "Click me" instead of "Spoiler: Click me."

And Taluntain, guessing this is more up your alley:
- The forum currently has a limit of 5 [MEDIA] embeds per post, could we have that upped a couple of pips or would that risk putting too much strain on the server?
- Is there a feature that would allow us to change the display order of poll options? E.g. I'd like to add Vault 13 to the list of Fo4 mod projects, but it feels wrong now not to end a Codex poll on kingcomrade.

There is a setting for that somewhere in the ACP, just needs to have the old image specified there.
Fixing this will require an addon (unless there are more avatar-related settings in ACP aside from the style options). Avatar-related XF2 settings don't appear to do anything, for newly-created and oldfag users alike.

Yes
The issue here isn't the server but people's computers. In various large embed threads, with dozens of video embeds on a single page, it's enough to drive up resource usage in any browser so high it basically chokes the whole browser. So with the system as it is, 5 is the max due to various threads with dozens of embeds.
The old setting used to be 10, as a compromise with GD posters.
