I'm against reactions, too, and I'm not sure about avatars. I like the non-graphical look of the board. I don't think I like the idea of non-public threads, because how many people who come to the board aren't signed up?
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Our wings are not tired.
I reviewed the arguments on the non-public. First, reviewing old vote discussion is super painful. Second, the argument against revolved around a false sense of privacy and was fairly compelling.

That sounds like a pretty good argument. Anybody can register so there really isn't any privacy.
Sounds like reactions are a non-starter and I'm totally cool with that. I think I won't worry about avatars. It's something that can be added later if we ever want it (with the ability to turn off avatar display in settings).

I'm curious about how many new users the board is getting these days?

Nanita, the function to add new users hasn't worked for quite a long time. Someone would have to look at the table to see when the last one was added.

Gud, is there anything in particular you want us to test?

Since I'm getting closer, I'm getting more organized.
This is my issue board for beta status. Beta Board
This is the overall board. Overall Board
Right now the things to test are:
- Subscriptions
- Message Center
- Read New
- General Posting and Editing
- Login
- Change Password
- User Blocking
- Using the site on mobile devices
Feedback on what's needed for the Admin Portal would be very helpful as I'm not an Admin on the current board so I'm not familiar with Admin functionality.

To get a login, shoot me an email with the user name you are going to use and I'll set up an invite code to use for registration. A real registration process will be added after beta.
