    What changes have been made?

    Obviously the new reply box, the message about the redesign, and the changes to the chat box. Ooh, and I just noticed a little Auto-save pop-up when typing this.

    And to address the actual point of the thread, I find the fact that the chat box now says "xxx replied to a thread" rather than naming the thread a bit annoying. I like to see if any threads that I like reading have been replied to, and with the new system I can't tell if it is some discussion about WA or a lot of discussion about a different topic that I have no interest in. However, if there is a reason for that change (and there probably is since its been changed, "if it ain't broke don't fix it") then I'm sure I can work around it happy in the knowledge that it is for a greater good.

    EDIT: I just noticed that when someone commented in Chapter 24 discussion it mentioned that too. I suppose I could use that, but I don't know why it doesn't specify which section of the forum it is in for other topics.

    2nd EDIT: Just noticed that what just happened is only for new threads. Could replies do this too perhaps?

    The Gatekeeper not telling the thread title in the small chatbox is to prevent the passive spoiling of WA to those that join the forum before catching up (or for those who show up to the forum and forget an episode was released). It shows up for all replies and new posts in the small chat box as User X has replied to a thread.

    If you use the full chat box, Gatekeeper will still tell you exactly what the thread was. He has also been modified to acknowledge blog posts, blog comments, new wiki pages, and wiki edits in the full chatbox.

    Ok, thanks for the help. Sounds like a good idea to me, and I can still see which threads have been replied to. However, I think a bigger threat to the war on passive spoilers to new users is the recent posts sidebar on the front page. Surely spoilers can get in there quite easily. Well, I'm no expert.

    Oh, and the new replies did do that, however, for some reason it broke, and then wouldn't say ANYTHING when someone responded. So I turned off that for now until I can take a closer look at it.

    Also, about the sidebar, I think we don't have it showing anything posted in Episode Discussions, but maybe we should include Theories.

    I'm pretty sure the reply thing is fixed now.

    Also, I just fixed the blog linking. When posting a new blog it links to the blog, even though at the time that the gatekeeper post is being created the blog hasn't been committed to the database yet. I'm awesome like that.

    I just noticed today that there's something wrong with the facebook connectivity or something that is making the facebook "like" status wonky. Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 5.02.05 PM.jpg

    It looks like the entire area facebook normally takes up has just kinda....asploded (below the thread title)

    Wow, this is actually the first time I've noticed that button.... I don't have that problem, but I've had similar problems on this site when I accidentally turned compatibility view on. It made a lot of things bigger and threw everything off of alignment. Is that your problem? I don't know, but it's a possible solution.

    It's not that big of a deal and it fixes itself as soon as I click the link but the little icon for the site occasionally switches to the vbulletin icon. And it's only in my favourites menu.
