I like that when you start a thread you can choose any of your previously registered usernames. I like that you can choose which topic it goes in. I like that it is really easy to
swap between different ways of adding emphasis.

Anyone else have a positive thing to say?

Britney I did wonder if it depends on how you access MN. I use Chrome on Android and the changes have been positive.

I could do all that you mentioned in the OP on the old site. But then I was around before they had buttons for emojis etc, and you had to wrap links with [[ each end, so it was normal for me.

I hate the new platform in its entirety and the rendering of the emojis is really poor, too.

I like that it skips to latest bookmark when I open threads I'm watching. That's so much better than trying to find where I was. ^^

Is all this stuff on the web browser???

I've seen nothing really on the app except when it all went psycho and was showing posts from 2+ years ago !

I really like the new interface too. It's cleaner but recognisable as MN and is faster.

I've gotten use to it already.

All mentioned above plus it looks clearer somehow. I'm not scrolling much more than I used to.

I don't understand why so many posters dislike the new layout. Unless you log in on desktop/laptop (that does look a bit weird), I don't think it's changed that much.

I love that I can go straight to the FWR board by clicking the board link above the thread title.😀

I love that if I bookmark something by accident, I can UNBOOKMARK it!! 😃
