Paul - I'm going to put you on a different theme to see if it helps. You'll see the new theme before you see this message, so let's talk about what works best for you. You posting on mobile is a #1 requirement for this BBS!

I mean, it's kind of amusing, and probably just an issue with this particular theme, but here's how your post appears to me:

Huh. Must be an avatar display thing. I miss being able to change up avatars every couple weeks. But I also miss guest posting

I changed it to a different one. Let's see if this display is different as well

I don't like how you can't insert a poll into a post.

Does anyone know of a phpBB theme with nice larger letters? All the ones installed are small as all hell and I hate them. The expand text features don't work with phpBB.

There's only one thing I don't like. Links don't have a different color in the dark theme. They look like normal text, so when someone links to something the proper way (that is, making a piece of text a hypelink rather than posting the URL), I can't even tell there's a link there.

Perfect! And the underline is optional (have it disabled in Firefox and the theme seems to respect that, which I guess is the reason why I couldn't tell links and normal text apart to begin with...)

Hey yo, I have a few requests (not demands) that I think would make the forum flow better for people:

1. Would it be possible to enable attachments directly to posts as opposed to having to go through say, Imgur to upload and then add here? There have been threads I've wanted to create that would be image heavy and it is a chore to upload, grab the URL, then paste it here with tags.

2. I'm at 34 out of 50 messages in my inbox and I was wondering if you'd be willing to expand that to whatever number you think would be the max? One less thing I'd like to think about.

Thank you as always,
--Retro

Would it be possible to force people to use their main accounts and not just log in as other people when they feel like it, and also not private message people willy-nilly with their own emotional psychoses? Is that a feature we can add?

Yeah, it's really annoying when people do that, and I hate it. It's disgusting, immoral, and fattening, among other horrible First World problems.

OUCH!! Well played, sir.

See folks, you gotta throw the zingers back at me, not get all whiny about it and have breakdowns. It's a goddamn bulletin board system for adults.

I think it would be difficult to impossible to prove that a man jack of any of you has an emotional level exceeding six-years-old. Not a man jack.

As for me, what can I say, I shit in a diaper because I can't control my bowel movements. Waaaah!
