    We'll be doing some maintenance on the forum tomorrow (Wed 25 Mar UTC, Tue 24 Mar in the US) and, as a result, the forum will be down for some time. Shouldn't take too long.

    This is complete now. We've upgraded the forum software, let me know if anything isn't working properly.

    Depending on your definition of "isn't working properly": I no longer see a link to "Likes You've Received" in my Inbox next to those other links/buttons like "Conversations." There are only three such links now, and I think there may have been up to five links before the change.

    Edit: It's probably a matter of "waugh, it's different now!" and not a problem. I can see the "Likes" link under my Profile page just fine. So things moved.

    1) The quick reply text box no longer increases in height as I type into it. This makes my primary method of response on these forums far more arduous.

    2) The new "undo/redo" functionality seems to have coopted my operating system's default undo/redo functionality for generic text fields. I just lost a post I was writing in another thread because I accidentally deleted a bunch of text and then, when I hit undo, instead of just undoing my deletion, which was my last change, as was expected functionality for me, and as has been the way the forums, and most sites/forms/text editors on my computer have always worked, it took me back to a previous state, one before most of my typing had happened. When I then hit "redo," I was brought back to the state after my accidental deletion of most of my post. In short, the undo/redo functionality is funky, it messes my expected user experience, and it makes me far less inclined to post on the forums. I hope there is some way to turn the feature off, at least on a user level, because otherwise I will find myself saying a lot less on here. :(

    I can confirm that "undo/redo" is not in fact "undo/redo", but some kind of crazy voodoo that randomly assembles text previously entered on the site. (on FF)

    Also, according to this page, SLG's likeability rating (298/562 = 0.53) just slightly exceeds my own (272/537 = 0.51). *sniffle* ≡(TェT)≡

    (I should really condense all these posts, I guess... not to game the system or anything... >_>)

    I'm Number (counts on fingers) 9!
    But my like percentage is under 25% :(

    Yeah, undo seems weird. Not sure what's going on with that, I'll do some poking around.

    That was a moderately surreal experience. So, hi. I'm looking at the thread now.

    But we knew that.

    One thing that disappoints me, though, is that "multiquote" (mentioned on their update page) doesn't do what I think it does. Their video says that the ability to more efficiently quote several different posts was a highly-requested feature since their forum system was launched. But I've never had such efficiency in my forum life, and I've always had another "multi" quoting capability which XenoForo lacks: instant nested quotes when you quote a post, period. Apparently this basic functionality is still absent. (And, by the way: multiquote doesn't seem to be turned on for Card Hunter just yet.)

    In other news:
    I was wondering what you saw, so I looked at the members listing, but then got distracted. "Today's Birthdays" includes "xkcd." A little reminder about this non-posting person who joined in 2012.
