I am one of this nice guy, trying to help out whenever I can, BUT I am also one that get irritated when quoting the quoting the quote....Autist, don't you bother about persons that sometime get upset for nothing.
Well, forum etiquette is not something you are born with. And in this particular case it's nothing to pay attention to compared to the BLOB'ed reply. It's something you need to consider, especially regarding how to treat new forum users. Being nice spreads good vibes for everyone, Cheers!1. Pick the part of a post above to show what you do respond to. (can be multiple section)
2. Respond to a post that is not directly above, to make sure that other understand what to reply to.
Do never ever quote the whole post directly above you. Does not give any sense to do...
1229 x 727 pixels ain't anywhere near FullHD, display scaling on your tiny display doesn't count.OT but ...
maybe I am too irritable but I CAN'T UNDERSTAND why quoting whole PRECEDING post is assumed to be a better answer than just sending a short comment?
Why pushing "Post reply" is avoided by readers but "Reply with quote" is not? Do they think that others are unable to follow the stream of information?
I ( and We) have to look through whole quotation to find a few words sentence. These two posts occupy whole FullHD screen.
But the fact that the "+Post Reply" is on a total different place and different color , even mostly off-screen when somebody adds a large attachment, does not help to have people select that bottom button. It is visually not related to the thread, as it is below the "Display posts from previous: All posts Sort by Post time/ Ascending" line.OT but ...

To me it rather seems it finally started working as intended - I got a notification about your post, but the last one before was about the one from @BartoszP. I did read the topic before you wrote your post. I.e. the site finally fulfils the promise in the notification body "No more notifications will be sent until you visit the topic."By the way since 24 hours the mail reminders are missing.
Yes it's back. But I had multiple replies in "Your Posts" between 29 oct and 3 nov. No mail, nothing in the local SPAM folder. The ISP must have blocked it. This is mostly if the sending mailserver is in some blacklist. My ISP is probably also using "grey listing", so a mail that is not retried will never arrive. (My mailbox is part of my ISP subscription.)To me it rather seems it finally started working as intended

I think the General topic is the most common use for Forum itself problems. Maybe PM to admin's group :).Is there a place to post about the forum itself ??
See Home->Forum index->User Control Panel->Board preferences->Edit global settings.Where does that different layout come from?
"As a general advice please don't quote the whole answer since it makes it harder to follow the essence of the thread". Please read "http://mt/forum/etiquette.."
With the old theme its easy to see what thread you have posted inn. I do not think you see that at all on the default theme.oldfashioned silver theme which is just shorter.
Like viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45259 ? :)(btw, is there one?)
BartoszP, being corona-isolated too long and maybe feeling a bit cranky today? Kisses and hugs to you! :)
It's hard to make a peace not war, isn't it? :-)I believe you get much better attention if promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
well, I'm more of a shit in, shit out man :) ChersDo you know the rule GIGO? Garbage In, Garbage Out
