I didnāt realize there was another one for this.
Likes so far:
- Notifications are handier than I thought theyād be
- Polls (testing below)
- Heart feature (hey, āthanksā got even better!)
- IDMF - itās back upā¦ and the colors are the same!
- Sleek web 2.0 interfaceā¦ (I think thatās what itās called)
- Embedding images is pretty fucking boss
- Changing your username is great when you signed up with a shitty name
Dislikes so far:
- Edit vs. quote synergy does not compute in my brain (personal problem, probably)
- No sigs?!
- No āsavage madcuntā bar to fill up
- Small avatars, I canāt even see them without my specs
- 20 character limit seems like a lot, Iām a one-liner kind of chick w/ dick
- Character limit on starting threads
- Weird foldy reply box with seemingly no option to just keep it out (go commando!)
- I canāt figure out reply trees, maybe Iām retarded though
- Also, this (apparently Iām on lockdown already):
- I havenāt figured out how to properly quote anybody, might be another ID10T error on my part
Not so sure aboutā¦
- Achievements, seems like a nag screen
- Not being able to see who last posted in a thread (icons do help, though)
Requests / suggestions:
- Intro / Landing page for newbs (hey, thatās all of us now!)
- Services / skill trade section
- General marketplace section
- Strikethrough button
Will continue to edit while Iām on post-lockdown
- This post was great, keep editing!
- Stop editing your post, dumbass!

I dunno if the email info of the former users still exists but uhmā¦ if so, they should get a lil notification to welcome them back to intelligent dance boomer music internets dot le com.
Iām not even sure music is still a thing out there.
maybe try for good olā IDMf colour scheme? I went to archive.org and found they captured page pre-crash. You can open it as an image and use eyedropper tool in a picture editor like gimp or photoshop and get exact same colour codes.
also, every time you open a thread its latest post field gets really yellow, similar to text colour and you canāt see it for a second, maybe a different colour for it could work a bit better. I guess itās a notification which post is the latest one.
Add a āshow last post firstā option.

Don;t know how to quote yet, but yeah, what Thom said. I donāt want to be no bottom feeder. Also, like the reminder to be civil to the right of my typing window but the background there makes it really hard to read the text.

People actually used that? I thought we all went in and collectively disabled it 
Yeah if youāre squeezing every drop of juice from the lemons they pay you with, like me, and use public, slower, wifi from the bar across the streetā¦ itās very useful for the last post to just pop up first.
Iām quite proud not to have given a dime to an ISP since like 2006ā¦

Qoute is the cartoon speech bubble uper left after you hit reply.
Ill see what can be done about that message.
I posted a few points in the āpisses you offā thread just to be cheeky but this is a more constructive place to put my comments. 
There is some text field on the right when making some replies or maybe it was the ābehave yourselfā text with the same problem that _MS mentioned, it just makes the text really hard to read. Maybe someone already fixed it? I cannot reproduce it now.
I like the newfangled reply box with the auto-fill emojis and the side by side preview. Works slick. The badges thing when first setting up the accounts seems a bit too cutesy but I am guessing that is standard fair for the forum software. Plus, who likes Capibaras anyway?
That said major kudos to the admins for getting this thing back on itās feet!
When do we get tags back? I donāt feel superior enough without my artist tag even though I had one song on a compilation album with over 20 tracks on it.
Is the hidden area up and running already? I know this shouldnāt be an open post, but the hidden area is now hidden, so I canāt post it there.
So I know youāre all super busy with this launch, but it might be nice to get a āState of the Unionā about the new site, whatās happening, where itās going, whoās in charge of shit, when you expect it to go away again, and what we can be doing to help out and not ruin your hard work. I think the fact that thereās shit up in the LB day one is a sign this thing has legsā¦
As an added bonus, this would give us fine community members in good standing the chance to fondle your genitalia a bit over the hard work youāve put in at short notice. You should totally give us that chance.
Also, Iāll assume this means the Beat Battles will finally be properly linked in the sidebar.

yes!!! sidebar fixed!!!
I definitely second a āstate of the unionā or such thing. Iām all for the new fancy site, butā¦ what happened??? Everything is gone, which is a major downerā¦ all the beat battles are goneā¦ 
We all have to make new accountsā¦ itād be nice to hear from the appropriate persons. Heck, why not have a nice memo from Stu himself? Itād be a nice way to start the new site, rather than just some static site popping up. For all intents and purposes weāre in the midst of a very elaborate hack, and the real idmf is somewhere on the darkweb, shackled in chains while someone hijacks idmfā¦

Re: State of IDMf
We are working on this one. Great idea.
Some of the little annoying things might take some time. There were a couple things we were not able to find in the regular admin tools and might take some HTML editing we arenāt capable of to change.
The Beat Battles have their own sub-forum in the Community Projects section and have a direct link you can click on from www.idmforums.com
Hey you Pale Hairy Beastā¦ when are the creative tag lines coming back? And banners. FMB is surely gonna claim his jackass sticker, eventually
