    He's definitely pushing the forum game forward, when you think about it, it's like: 'why didn't forums have this feature since... forums exist?'

    The innovative sense is real.

    Just discovered a little, little issue: On white theme, the effect window has a different color while viewing profile posts than in threads. To be concrete, the background is white while viewing profile posts and greyish in threads. It'd be great if they were both greyish (better visibility).
    I don't know if that's an 'issue' in the dark theme as well.

    2 updates today:
    • The style toggle in the top left will now stay on the same page when you switch between day/night, rather than redirect you to the forum home page
    [​IMG]
    • When viewing a forum/thread in "best posts" view, clicking the heart to like a post will now update the number of likes

    Also it is confirmed that the sports forum users are the stingiest users when giving out likes :emoji_wink:

    Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been a bit busy at work and Slyk has been vacationing in Hawaii.

    Today's update is the dropdown avatar changer, similar to the one in the Portal. Thank you to @Immy, @FullSpeed, @able, and @Slyk who had suggestions about this. Hover over your user name up top, then hover over your avatar to access a quick link to update it.

    @Loyalty can we add a rollover effect on the font color/weight when on the "Change Avatar" section? that adds an indicator to the user that clicking there isn't the same as clicking outside of that box. else, it can be slightly confusing now in knowing that clicking in it changes and clicking out of it but in the circle still goes to profile.

    A few updates to make smilies easier to use:
    - Smaller smilies in the smilie picker so you can see more at once (looks much cleaner too). The smilie will still appear at its normal size when posted.
    - On mobile, the smilie picker box is larger, and scrolls much more smoothly (in most mobile browsers). Thanks @able for the idea.
    - I think that's it, as you can see I'm reaching for updates.. currently working on organizing the emojis and making them higher quality.

    Koolo had the Giphy mod customized, so it is now inline with the reply box rather than a popup.
