URL's by default have 'unfurl' enabled where it shows the content of the URL using metatags from the site.
Can this be disabled as I believe it will become very cloggy at times with it enabled everywhere, you have to manually disable it.
Here for example:
/cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/6AZJAHWEFRIANKAESUUUMPRMAQ.jpg)
www.reuters.com
This is the default setting causing the above ^^

Here for example:
EU employment rate above pre-COVID levels in 2021 - Eurostat
The employment rate in the European Union climbed back above 2019 levels last year, as the labour market started recovering from the pandemic, the bloc's statistics office said on Thursday.

Why is it that a single line of text gets a lot of space but lots of text gets none. Almost looks like the CSS has a min height on the content box that a single line doesn't fill but there is no margin bottom once it passes that min height, making it all look squashed...
Needs a bit of padding imo to tidy it up.

Not impressed so far.
- Ignored members posts are now even more obstructive. These should be far more hidden, I'm ignoring certain posters for a reason, I have no desire to see every time they're quoted. Can't I fully hide ignored users?
- The top pane which follows you around whenever you scroll down, why? Can this be disabled as it is a waste of screen space.
- On mobile I'm pretty sure I could just click on the page number I wanted, but now I have to click and then manually type a page number. Really not user friendly on mobile.
- On mobile each time I click on a new page the top of the page is cluttered with the thread title / username / tool bar / search bar / jump to page etc. I don't remember it being this cluttered, every time I select a page I need to scroll half way down to actually read the content. I feel like it was better previously?
- Like buttons, really? Hope this is a troll feature that will get disabled. This isn't bookface.
- Push notifications, I said no to them and to never ask me again and they all are selected as 'on' in the settings page.
Edit: The layout of these paragraphs also make no sense, did anyone actually test these changes?

Not a proper fix but if you use uBlock origin you could add a custom filter for them-
Code:
#forums.overclockers.co.uk##.message-avatarThe new avatars feel very dark and grungey to me. I'd prefer to see them upgraded to PC / tech components and things which are more light-hearted and less murdery. And like some others have said it's a shame we can't have proper emojis instread of the early 2000s style pixelated ones. They're an international standard for a reason.
I personally think adding likes is great though. I often want to thank an old post I've found without bumping the whole topic for no reason.

I approve! Good girlRed through and through, much to the consternation of my family. They cared more she was a red than the fact she was a Scouser.

Edit:also no idea why it looks like I quoted myselfAm I the only person that likes the avatars?

Do you get an error? Do you have multiple posts open in the MM already?
It's still being tweaked, but equally can't please everyone
As Mods we don't have the luxury of ignoring posters, so unfortunately haven't tested it extensively, but thanks for now sort of raising it
First time it's been raised
Has been raised, but I will add to the first post
Ok
It's been raised and will be fixed at some point
No it isn't bookface, but no they won't get disabled. They are no more of a troll feature, than numerous "+1" posts, or people replying with just a smilie in a new post. If anything they will clean up some of the ****posts, and it was decided the time was right to introduce the feature.
The mobile layout was unfortunately a bit less tested, but we appreciate the various suggestions being made, and they will be addressed

I've checked post 1, but I've not read the thread so apologies if it's been answered. It's also very possibly just a frustration for me and how I use the forum but...
I used to just come in to 'watched threads' view. This would show me any threads I watch that have new posts. Now, I have saved a filter on 'New posts' that shows 'watched content' with 'new posts'. Unfortunately this includes all threads in the 'watched forum' list. I watch a forum as I might want to watch a new thread in it, not because I want to watch every thread in it. Is this current way the intended way or can we go back to how it was?
Thanks

Can confirm the Post Thread button doesn't appear in MM forums.
