It was more than just the spam, there were problems with the user db. Odd things happening with logins, admin actions, etc. Plus the thing looked like it was straight out of the nineties.
There’s loads of cool features of Discourse I’m still getting my head round, worth checking here: How to Change Username for more info. The ’ @111 ’ functionality is dope. And the desktop notifications for alerts is pretty sick as well. And that glorious quoting system.
The pages vs scroll issue, I’m kind of on the fence, at first I hated it, but the more I use it, the more I don’t want to go back to numbered pages. It was always annoying when someone made the last post on a page and it got ignored.
get me.
I actually prefer this on here, it gives you a summary of the post that the word you’re looking for was found in. Will make finding links and tunes in the mega threads easy. That + single page is pretty good imo.
Would definitely be a nice idea to alternate colours for differentiation, without signatures it could do with more definition.
I’m pretty sure that can’t happen.
If it ain’t for you, then it ain’t for you.
