The Alerts link used to expand a drop-down list if you hover over it with the mouse. It no longer does that. Not a big deal at all, but it is a change.

And she ain't no Geisha girl. She is getting married and is wearing the traditional Shinto wedding outfit:

Here is another in the same venue:

This is traditionally worn to veil the bride's horns of jealousy, ego and selfishness. It also symbolizes the bride's resolve to become a gentle and obedient wife.

It’s intresting how we all interact with this type of software, deal with changes like this etc . I hate it initially but in this case have found the ‘upgrade’ to be a genuine improvement.
I always found it interesting (maddening to infuriating ) how in the computer world an "upgrade" is so often a reinvention of the wheel. Rather than just being a bug fix and added features overhaul, someone always finds it nessacary to redesign the user interface requiring a big learning curve to navigate that which you knew very well in the past. He just had to show how much better he is at UI design.
Many times even worse in the open source world where every time a bright new coder comes along on a project, instead of folding his ideas and talents into the existing project, he forks the code into a whole new design. So much potential strenght gets watered down thru division.

Not showing at this end. Win 7 and IE11.

Edit: I also tried compatibility mode - no difference except the toolbar in the reply pane disappeared. :oops:
That's really strange. I checked and can't find any such reports from other users of our platform. And it works for all of my browsers.

Anyone else see this?

I have random occurrences of a completely missing reply pane on another Xenforo site. A reboot fixes it.

My pc is connected to Wireless Broadband Internet. I use a 'pocketwifi' modem connected to the PC by a USB cable. Whilst the portable modem can be used as a WiFi 'hotspot', I use it hard-connected to the Laptop. I thought this was a radio-based internet system separate from ADSL and 3G/4G networks. Maybe it does use the mobile phone system and my computer is seen as a mobile(portabally connected) device - thus no extra information below the avatar.

The Recent Posts column now contains 5 posts vs 10 previously. Then the recent posts spill over to the New Posts page. Could the Recent Post list be increased, even if a scroll function is added?
