Hello, I am totally a legit person and not UglyJoe registering a new user to make sure registration still works and the anti-spam plugins isn't too overbearing.

I'm here and I'm ruining everyone's embedded video fun.

Are the 'likes' buttons really necessary?

Also, I had trouble finding the login button, expecting it to be next to the signup icon. Is this something you have control over?

I'm happy that that the small bricks were removed.

I turned them on to see what they would do.  If everyone hates them then I'll turn them back off.

I was thinking the same thing but wondered if it was just me .  I don't think there's a configuration for that but I can hack it in.

Got it, add the bricks back

Were subject lines not preserved on thread replies? They're gone in this update

Looks like they are still around (they are on the Reply page) but they're not shown in the thread view.  I can see about adding them back in.

I had trouble finding the login button, expecting it to be next to the signup icon.

I actually still haven't found it yet, although I somehow managed to log in.
I clicked on something I don't have access to as a non-user and was taken to the log-in form.

When you're not logged in, it's in the white bar that runs across the top.

Oh that white bar. I didn't notice it. Thanks!

Another issue I'm having is time zone.
When I choose my time zone (UTC+1 = CET) the time is 4h ahead instead of giving me the correct time it's supposed to. This was also an issue on the old forum version

Not an issue as such, but something I hope can be changed. When you click "Mark all messages as read" on the main forum page you get a browser message "www.famicomworld.com says: Are you sure you want to mark messages as read? OK/Cancel".

The extra confirmation isn't really needed, and on a personal note, in an effort to battle RSI I try not to use the mouse at all when I'm at home, instead relying on keyboard only for better ergonomics. With Chrome I use the plugin Vimium which allows for easy navigation without needing a mouse. But that browser message forces me to reach over to the mouse to click it away.

EDIT: Actually, you can just click that with arrows + enter/space. So I'm good. Still, the question is kind of unnecessary.

Probably some time zone property I need to change.  I'll look into it.

I can look into changing it.  It didn't prompt in the older version so I don't see why we'd need to now.

Hecka yeah.  Vimium is great.

Not a big deal, but trying to attach images in text (instead of the bottom) is broken? https://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=14642.msg186064#msg186064

It just shows the text for me.
