Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Gud, this is amazing, thank you for all the work that went into making this such a smooth transition!!

One tiny request I have is can we have the ability to modify personal view options back? The one I'm really missing is the custom font color for spoilers. (I had mine set to gray so I could see the text without highlighting but still know they were spoilers so as not to talk about those bits openly.)

Selecting the left-hand menu works for me and is persistent.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Dana, I'm curious, which browser are you using?

Our wings are not tired.

The left hand menu is working properly for me as well. Chrome browser at the moment. eta: tried Edge and it is working there too.

My ssh key stopped working.

Hmmmm. Changing my tagline worked okay (and I got a "saved" notification at the top of the screen when I did that) but saving changes to my Profile->View screen does not give me a "saved" notification, and indeed the changes made there did not take effect. Same result in Chrome, IE11, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Same result after logging out, clearing cache&cookies, then logging back in.

Hey. New board.

The sidebar is also not working for me, on latest Edge for Windows. The checkbox does not persist.

Regarding GUI changes - I know that it's not possible to incorporate custom stylesheets as easily as on Phoenix, but maybe we can poll for some of the most popular things and incorporate them into the View options. Some things I expect might be popular:

1) dark mode 2) visible spoilers 3) narrower width (this one is me - I personally like the desktop look better with body set to a max-width of 1000px or so)

I like styling, so I'm willing to try fiddling with this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

3) narrower width (this one is me

Me too! Also, not sure if this is viable off of style sheets or whatnot, but I'd like to go back to a cooler blue rather than red.

Hmm... The left menu checkbox works for me in both Chrome and Firefox. There must be a bug somewhere, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern I can detect.

I think adding more view options would be a good idea. Please feel free to contribute work.
