Please let me know what you all think.

Also, there will be more bells and whistles rolled out in due time.

If people get a notification when someone quote's them, what's the point of tagging them with the @ ?

[mp170.6]

@ means asshole

[gotbeer]

Is it just me?  But in firefox, if I have multiple tabs (like over 4 tabs) of AW.com open, it will slow/freeze firefox up.

Because you can turn off getting a notification when you're quoted. Duh.

To illuminate the feature almost everything is turned on after the upgrade. 

Besides, that is no different from Facebook and Twitter out of the box.

It's a good red. The site looks great on my 24 inch monitor at work but is a little scruched up on my ipad. Either way I'm pretty sure I'll survive the experience.

Since the forum uses HTML5 with notifications popups, I can see how that would slow things down as you're getting the same pop ups for every tab opened.

Try on your ipad now and let me know if it's scrunched up. 

I changed a setting so that it shouldn't be.

Disregard. It now looks just like the desktop. A little tough to read the user panel in the white of the logo but everything else looks good.

When opening a thread it always starts at post #1. It would be nice if it started with the last post read by the user, so he wouldn't have to search through all the post he has read previously to find the spot where he left off.

Other than that the new format seems fine.

"Is there a way to go to the first unread post in a thread while in either mobile or desktop?"

Indeed there is. You would select the icon shown in the following image below. @Ace_Richards

Hey Chuck, did you realize the desktop appearance in the header area has text camouflaged by the white banner behind it?

The first one is Firefox, the other is Chrome.  Both on Windows. 

I'm not logged into Chrome because I can't see where the Login button is.

Any chance of being able to disable notifications for likes?

Yep, you can customize all of your notifications.

Yeah, I'm working on that. I may add a black bar on top of the logo so that those buttons will show. Bear with me. 

The difference in the second image is that you're not signed in btw.

It's freaking me out.

No worries.  It's no big deal to me.

FIXED! 

I added a black bar to the top of the logo. Now you can see the icons in desktop mode. @mp170.6

Cool. 

You might want to add another 10-15 pixels to the height of it if you can.  Here's how it appears on my end:

[beatlesrule]

I've noticed that if someone else posts while I am still typing, the notification covers over what I am typing and it doesn't go away until I click on the x to get rid of it.

On desktop or mobile, which browser?

I haven't had that happen to me yet and I'm getting ALL notifications. 

[beatlesrule]

Desktop, firefox.

That's better.  (see below)

I really admire your patience dealing with all the stylesheet and template tweaks.  Just a royal pain in the ass with so many devices and screen sizes these days.  And I thought CSS was bad when having to deal with Netscape and IE.  That was a cakewalk compared to now!

Thanks again!
