how do you URL unfurl?
Just paste the URL in. I am not sure what the requirements are for the target web site. I assume they need some meta tags or similar so it may not work with every site.

Like the new layout, but theres no button so i can click back to Forums if im browsing(which was a previous feature which was idiot proof for users like myself).

Now i have to click back oodles of times which is sub optimal
Can you please reconsider reinstatement of the forums tab to make it easier on users like myself.

I don't understand sorry.

I can see the FORUMS link in the navigation.

Minor thing, looks like the thread header is still in black in night mode (not sure if it's just me though as I have a browser extension that fiddles with colorus a bit):

Maybe what i was referring to was the breadcrumbs that niles was referring to.

I used to be able to get back to forums quite easily through that function.

Now i have to click back 10 times to go back to Forums which is frustrating

Chief any chance we can get a quick toggle for dark mode on mobile (a la the light bulb button on desktop)?

Yes you have this - you will probably need to rotate the phone to landscape to see the light bulb in the nav.

on the forum that I administrate, it has the same reactions... but some are +1 and some are +0 and some are -1 to your "reaction score". I took out the ability to "-1" people because that can be severely abused. Is this change to this forum numerical in the same way (list?) and do you think it's worth keeping the ability to "-1" people if that does exist?

Just don't go to oval avatars. I worked with a former journo once who said at the Advertiser they always printed pictures of dead people in the 'Oval of Death'.

Perhaps just for retired/inactive members, then?
Transition must have gone smoothly. I was surprised to see the site up and running this morning.

Me too.

I’ll have a look. I don’t think so.
