Pfrsantos little corner of complaints

Those are the goals.
I had started by modifying an existing theme until I got close to what I wanted it to look like, then decided to create a custom theme instead.
I build the new theme and fought with a few settings, only to realize the old theme mods were still in place. #facepalm.
Currently I am working on removing any duplication between the theme I created and the custom CSS/Header/JS that modifies the theme so I can remove the custom mods and just have the theme.
I am also trying to clean the code and organize the changes so that when we have issues with something five years from now, we will be able to find things quickly and easily.
Once I have all of that stuff sorted out I will come back and start dealing with the smiley box, colors, widths and other visual issues.
The next step after that is to try rebuilding a few modules like the Treasury, and one that allows us to keep using standard BBCode like the [img][/img] tags you have discovered don't work yet.
And, at some point, there will be the SMF import, but that will probably mean shutting the forum down, pulling a backup, using the importer module specifically designed for SMF and then a whole pile of cleanup and config once that is here.
And at some point, the MTO specific smileys all need to be imported and I doubt they will come with the rest of the import.....
Those are the goals.

This is important. We used to say that coders don't comment (if it was hard to code, it should be hard to read). Not anymore. Place notes about everything important and other places it's related to, that's a huge help when/if you need to change anything.
p.s.: the new quoting method is not very user friendly, needing a > in every line. The very slight shadowy background awlso doesn't make the quoted message stand out as much as it might/should/could...

Auto tagging the previous post is still happening as well which is slightly annoying.

I've seen we still have post count under our avatars. Will there be groups/ranks, as in the old forum?
If so, will there be "hidden" sub-forums/threads, available only after a ertain post count?
Will there be sub-forums (Victorinox, Leatherman, Fixed blades, etc.)? If so, will they be mod created or can anyone create them? Rather the previous than the latter.

My #2 post (#3 in this thread) appears to have been deleted (no options available to quote/reply) but I can still see it.
Do you see it too? Is this supposed to be like this or should it have been completely deleted?
Can we delete posts or only mods can (like in the old forum)?

Reputation.
I keep getting a message saying I need 3 reputation to post in less than 120 seconds intervals.
How the smurf do I get reputation?! I thought I had reputation! Does it have to be good reputation?! Smurf, I'm not going to ever be able to post in less than 120 seconds intervals.

Hopefully we can get this closer to what we are used to. I'm not a fan either of the user interface so far. I know Def is working hard at getting it closer to what we are used to. Hopefully the software allows it.
I'm also hoping we can get closer to the sunrise color scheme.

I was actually happy (more or less) with these colors. Do we really want to go back to the various shades of grey?

I like the Sunrise theme colors. I was never a fan of the green colors of shelflife and used the older Curve theme for a long time until Sunrise came along. I like the shades of grey myself as it seems easier to read , but don't know if I'm in the minority or not.

When I flip back and forth between here and the forum the difference is quite apparent. This is just my opinion of course. It would be good to get more trusted members over here to chime in with their thoughts.

The users avatar/info take up a lot of space. Any chance of making it smaller, blending more into the post, like in the old forum?
Weird thing: just clicked on SteveC's username. Got sent to his profile page but this message box was still visible/working.
Discovered that in Night mode the quoted posts are even less visible/noticeable.

We can see the posts' revisions but can't chose/restore any previous version (only 300 to edit the post). Does it make sense to have this feature or is it by default?
Can the time for editing a post be changed, to a different/higher value?
Update: just added @defender as an editor to this post. Does this mean he can edit it at any time, even after the 300 seconds limit?

These links in the main page are not working:
Community Links
Multitool.Org
EDC-TVAwlso, the copy/paste kept the Multitool.Org link but lost the EDC-TV (*)
I keep having to log back in. Isn't there a "keep logged in" feature we (you) could enable?
(*) think I figured it out. Having a xxx.Org (maybe awlso a xxx.Com, xxx.Edu and so on automatically creates a link function on the string).
