Wouldn't it be easier for you and users to enable embedding of videos through other media platforms? Eg Youtube, vimeo, tick tok etc etc

Easier if the videos are already on those platforms yes.
If it's just a quick video of someone going arse-over-tit as they run to their rods, maybe not.
Note: No anglers were hurt in the making of that imaginary scenario.

I think that it's great. Much better already and I've only used it for five minutes.

The added bonus is that the 132 unread PM's have all vanished. ๐Ÿ˜‚

100% create a subscription Karl. I'd just make everyone pay personally. We all use the forum a lot. The amounts being spoken about are nothing, people spend more on a coffee or some hooks. We could even have a slush fund set aside to pay the subs of those that cannot afford it. I will happily contribute to that too.

It's worth a quid a month just to avoid those nasty Google Ads that were nothing but an annoyance.
I've left them off for now, but they'll need to come back for non-Premium users at some point ๐Ÿ˜ข

I have reverted back to the โ€œOldโ€ platform, for personal
Preference. Kudos to you though Karlos for the development, and the foresight to think that not everyone would like the change in format. Your hard work makes lots of people happy ๐Ÿ‘

Tbh, I didnt see much of a user problem with the old site. But the new one does look nice and fresh ๐Ÿ‘

The dark mode ( for me ) seems just right for less eye strain ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Nice one Karlos and all involved ๐Ÿ‘

Karlos,
Any plans to bring back the โ€˜Whoโ€™s Onlineโ€™ feature? I used to go there first to see who was on, what was trending and handy to see what mods were available.

Thanks for the thanks ๐Ÿ™

I'm continually tweaking to try and make things better.
All feedback appreciated

There's always little bits I spot that I can do to try and streamline things or make them more usuable.
For example, when entering a topic with unread messages it might say
"2 new posts" and then have the yellow "Jump to new" button
So I just combined the 2 to save screen space, now we just have the button saying "Jump to 2 new posts"

I need to spend more time refining the mobile UI
I had a stab it it, but most of my time is spent on PCs with big monitors or hi-res laptops so those screens have got most attention so far ๐Ÿ‘

Karl, when using the "read next" site button, I'm finding it doesn't work unless I actually read the new posts, I can't just skip past them to a thread I want to read.

I should also add that I view old posts first so when I press the read new posts it only takes me to the bottom of page 1 if the thread has multiple pages.

Are you sure?
