The new sidebar is sort of growing on me, in a fungus sort of way . I like the grey dots showing the ‘unread’ stuff per category. On mobile it’s not good, but it seems to remember to stay hidden.
The Discourse release branch we track for here is really just for security updates, but when it gets to a vX point number they inevitably put new stuff in. Some new features can be turned off but others are really how they want to go, so better just to go with the flow.
@fearlessfrog I have only been a member for a short time, but your dedication to keep this site up and running goes above and beyond…
If you have a Patreon account I will definitely ‘subscribe’ to that. Otherwise, about the only way I know to express my appreciation is that even after all these years I still have a couple of 1st Armoured Regiment cap badges and one of them is yours if you are prepared to PM me an address to mail it to.
I’m really only stepping in more while @BeachAV8R takes a break to reorg the site a bit. As long-term members can attest, my time here sort of comes and goes, like a sudden burst of activity, solar flare style, or perhaps more like a herpes outbreak - I’m off on the road again on Jan 9th, but like a bad penny, I’ll turn up again in the future. Sort of like a really lame boring IT batman.
Hey @Relax. Try it again, please. The system silenced you automatically for typing too fast. I don’t know why - maybe a copy/paste thing or some other system feeding text to the forums?
