I have voted. Lines were long for our location, but not very long in absolute terms.

The new board looks great! Thanks, Gud and Gris for all your work on it.

I already voted, but my university has explicitly said they're cool with people taking as much time as they need to vote today. My department asked for no one to schedule any meetings today to reduce potential conflicts and because they figure people's concentration will be iffy at best.

Yay new board!!

I got up v early because dog. And got a bagel and latte and went to the dog park and now am back at hotel. Need to shower and then hit friend’s house where we are podding. Probably will try to watch movies and cook and avoid stuff until later today?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am clicking things and trying to break them (that's what we are supposed to do on a new board, right?). Only things I have noticed:

I can click Edit on anyone's post and seemingly edit it - was that always the case?

I do not want to try that on Delete, but that may also be true.

I can bookmark, but Unmark throws me an error "We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information."

And if I click Block - it does not give the option like the old board to just open and read that single post.

That is my QCing for the moment.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I can click Edit on anyone's post and seemingly edit it - was that always the case?

Are you a moderator, msbelle? Because I don't have that option on other people's posts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just ordered a burger and apple pie to be delivered. Seemed sort of patriotically appropriate?

I voted! There was no line, as opposed to the early voting sites in the city.

Definitely a bug. However, you can delete bookmarks from the bookmark listing. That makes me think it should be pretty easy to fix.

That can be added.

Hey Gud, might be my browser settings but is there a button at the bottom of a thread page to go to Read New or back to the Message Center, as opposed to using the back button or scrolling up to the top?

Thanks so much to you and Gris for spearheading all of this. It's so fun to be back and the site doesn't trigger my work block!
