I added a bunch of user preferences settings for alerts. If you feel that you are missing out on alerts that you should be getting, I would suggest enabling Persistent Alerts: https://www.nikoncafe.com/account/preferences

What are these Chinese looking posts all about?

I noticed a huge selection of emojis in the drop down menu! Nice. However, they are so small my old eyes really have trouble seeing them. Any chance they could be a wee bit bigger? The size when inserted into a post seems fine.

Hi Karen, sorry, I don't have any way to do that in Xenforo 2.

I wonder if that's specific to the device you're using, perhaps such as a phone. On my desktop monitor, the emojis seem to be the same size in the drop down menu as when inserted in the post.

Nope. I'm using a 30" desktop monitor.

Same on mine.

Mine too ? 13" MacBookPro

Same here on my 15” MacBook Pro..... no problems whatsoever in viewing them. Ditto on my 12.9” iPad Pro, too.

I don't think it's the size of your monitor that makes the emoji's smaller, but the resolution your monitor it's set to.
I run 2 monitors with different resolutions (2560x1440 & 1920x1080), and on the 2560x1440, the emoji are smaller than if I drag the browser over to the monitor that has the 1920x1080....

I'm at Apple's default! And my eyes, behind progressive lenses, are 69 years old.

I'm regularly using the "Mark Forums Read" capability to my advantage. It was probably available in the previous version and I didn't notice it. For whatever reason, I noticed it in this new version and like it a lot.

yep - it was there, I used it regularly.

Something I am missing - maybe I'm just not smart enough to find it - was the little blue dot that appeared next to a thread if you had previously read it. By clicking on the dot, it would take you to the last post in that thread you had read, so you could pick up where you left off. Very useful on long threads that span multiple pages (like this one).

I just increased it to 9 and also increased the image size. But so far only 6 have been featured, so only 6 are showing.

Lets close the deal on 12 and you keep the new larger size.

When using the Dark skin, the text in posts and items within drop down menus changed today from white to charcoal and I'd love to get it back to white. That combination gives me the background tone I want for viewing images and the text tone I want for reading it.

Sorry about that, my mistake. Should be fixed now.

Yes it is. Thanks for the super quick response!

For now, I've disabled three of the post ratings options: Wow, Useful, and Sad. They were the three least used ones. Wow had some overlap with Winner, Useful with Informative, and there were some concerns about misuse of "Sad". And fewer choices makes it a bit more user friendly. I can always bring them back if they are missed.
