You can't add or edit issues though. For that you'll need a Gitlab account.

Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
First:
Which is not to say that I'm not grateful, Gud, and not in awe of your work on the board. I have absolutely no idea how a person goes about creating a board like this, so you might as well be a wizard with a pointy hat and magnificent robe who made this with magic. It's so damn impressive. Many MANY thanks, Gud.
Secondly, I may be misremembering, but wasn't there a thing that when you were really behind in a thread (as I always am these days!) and you scrolled down, you saw a more posts indicator rather than a new posting box? I keep thinking I'm at the end of a thread, but then I think to click "next" and there's more. NOT A DEMAND. Just a question. I am SO grateful.
Here is my weird thing. I think if it is not possible to have read new (instead of next) i would rather have the hamburger menu in the upper right like it is on the phone?
I think I just ALWAYS used read new, and never next, so I am used to being able to navigate at the bottom of the thread.
I'm not sure I understand your request. You want s hamburger menu instead of a traditional toolbar even on desktops? Or is this an iPad thing?
Thanks- iPad really with the hamburger menu, but also I would really rather not scroll up with a mouse after posting to read new, if that make sense. It is easier on the devices because I am using my fingers for the whole motion. This is not a make it or break it, I just think there are some of this who are used to not scrolling back up at the end of every thread.
It's in the project issues.
Possibly socialogically, it is interesting to me that I totally don't mind scrolling up to the top on my phone, but it bothers me on the computer. People are weird?
Zenkitty just posted on FB that she still can’t get in/reset her password
I can reset her password.
Edit: Or not, I guess, since I can't figure out how to do it. I can see her details but I don't see a Reset link.

Nah, it's not you, UX (user experience) design. You actually nailed it earlier - the flick to the top with a thumb has an accelerating effect to it that means you can move up quite rapidly to the top of a long scrolling document - this feeling was originally perfected with the iPod scroll wheels I think, but has really gotten nice on modern flat glass devices. Mouse movement, even with a wheel, is generally capped so that the maximum vertical speed is less. Especially if you are like me and have lots of post per page (I do 50), it takes longer and more physical effort to get to he top. Plus, your habits probably mean that as you read, your cursor slowly migrates toward the bottom of the screen, so even if the scroll is fast you still have to move your mouse all the way from the bottom to the top of the screen which, again, physical movement. A track pad on a laptop will make both of these even worse.
If you have a high-end business or gaming mouse designed with this in mind (like the Logitech Master MX I used to have), you can make quick mouse movement and scrolling more possible, but for most users the touchscreen will be a faster, more comfortable device for quickly scrolling all the way to the top.
We will get you a bottom link eventually.
