The new site looks great, I'm still getting used to it, but I'll get there. I wanted to ask about a few things that have gone away, and if it could be brought back, or at least the reasoning for removing it

-At the bottom of the page, it used to show the number of users currently on texags. Can that be brought back? I understand the difficulty in presenting an accurate number, but as long as the number is generated in a consistent way it is useful and telling

-Before, when posts were edited it would show the timestamp of the edit in the post. I realize that there is a significant change to how edits are noted, and there is a flag in the lower right hand corner that shows how many edits have been done, but is there a way a timestamp can be added, maybe on a hover? It's helpful to spot trolls, some of whom will go back and edit out all their previous posts before assuming a new personality with the same sock (VanGogh@1 and many of his previous usernames are a good example)

Excellent work on the new site, thanks for the hard work

Also...
-Alternating colors between posts (or a darker line) like the old design.
- A way to jump to different forums from the bottom of the page.
- Easier way to switch pages on really long threads.
- Being able to see who last posted on a thread.

I love the new design, but these additions would help!

we'll eventually get both of these things back in there.

not sure what you mean.

we'll at least make the hover on the "last post" link show the name faster

I think that's a reference to the last index of pages that used to be present. Currently, there are, at most, options of next page, previous page, first page, and last page.

Or just go to the URL and change the number. For example go to page 2 and change '/2' to '/37' to go to page 37.

That also works for the pages of threads to skip back a ways.

within a thread, you click on the page count (ex: 1 of 5) to get a drop down to go directly to any page

I didn't think of trying that. Thanks.

Just noticed kb2001's post about me.

You are a very small man.
