EN World What do you like about the new site?

[Morrus]

I have my own thoughts about what I like about this software, but I'm curious about what features (as opposed to the general speed, which is more related ot the more powerful server) you like most now you've had chance to look around a bit?

(lets keep this to a positove thread -- there's plenty of space for bug reports and complaints elsewhere!)

Other than the improved speed? I'm a fan of the forum search engine.

So far, I find the interface much cleaner and easier to read, at least on my laptop, have not tested on my iPhone X yet.

I like the additional reaction options, though I miss the accumulated XP from the older system. Being able to level-up and earn 1e-like titles was a fun bit of flavor.

Pages load a lot faster and everything seems more responsive, especially when liking a post.

Not having to wait after liking a post before you are able to like another post. But I have been running into an issue where if a like a post soon after liking a prior post, I'm unable to select from the pop-up categories of like for the subsequent post. A generic like will register but not a love, laugh, etc.

Search is cleaner, easier to use, and MUCH faster.

So far I've not come across any functionality that I miss and overall the site is much more pleasant to read, navigate, and search. Overall a big improvement. Just miss the old XP and titles.

Posting images, links, and videos is sooo much faster and easier.

YES! Add this to one of my favorite things about this new site. Being able to copy an image, e.g. take a screenshot to the computer's clipboard, and paste it into the post as you edit it, is wonderful!

Much quicker and it can handle bigger posts than the old system.

In addition to what others have said, I find the notifications more useful and responsive than the old system.

That it now comes up as "Connection is secure" in Google Chrome incognito. And the speed; it is way faster.

Morrus, one issue. I cannot edit my closed/locked thread in my World of Kulan forum. I know it's archived now, but I still use it for my PbP games and my rpg collection list. If you can, whenever you can. If not, so be it.

It is a huge improvement, still getting used to navigating it a bit, otherwise it is great.

Hands down, it's HTTPS.
