Help[Opinions] Board update...
https://www.behindthename.com/bb2/
There's an upcoming board update. This has been discussed a bit on the Lounge, but not on Name Opinions, the busiest board. It's going to implemented soon, so I'm looking for another round of feedback.
Since many people didn't seem to like the new look, I've added a way to make it look and feel *almost* like it does now. The settings are on the Help page. Just choose the "classic" theme. You can even turn off the flagging of new messages.
Other recent changes are:
- many settings added to the Help page
- search appears in a pop-up
- - - type some letters to get search suggestions
- - - there's a link to an advanced search page
- new rules + you must agree to the rules before posting the first time
- mark all read/unread at the bottom of the board
- when responding, you no longer need to fill out the message body as long as you change the subject line (nt will be added to your subject line if you neglected to add it)
- you can post messages from the ALL board

I enjoy it tremendously and I've been using /bb2 since it first came out :)

Ooh, I love it. Being able to see everyone's responses, rather than clicking on each one, is much nicer.

Did you go to https://www.behindthename.com/bb2/ ? From there you can select one of the boards and it should look quite a bit different than it does when using https://www.behindthename.com/bb/
If you mean that v2 doesn't look noticeably different than v2 did previously, then you are correct. The default theme has not changed much. You can however change to the "classic" theme by going to the Help page ( https://www.behindthename.com/bb2/all/help ), scrolling down to the Settings, and toggling the theme.
