    The forum changes irk the hell out of me. And the lack of preview is annoying as I make a lot of typos and like to reread to double check spelling.


    Looks like we lost the kitten too. No longer replacing the bad words. 😂

    *kitten*


    Like a big kid I had to try it out 🤭😁

    I was just about to! I would kinda miss the *kitten* (I couldn't just type the word in with asteriks...made it all italicized and stuff) out of the replacement. It's funny!

    I'd miss the *kitten* too.. were you here when they changed it to *asparagus* I think it was for April fools Day? 😂

    LOL vaguely. I like it when mods have fun.

    And, ok. So a bunch of us have been complaining all over the place. Have any of us complained in the forums we SHOULD be complaining in?? 😁

    Oh I'm sure they are watching 😬😁


    I don't think complaining will help though, we either adapt and stay or don't and leave 😒

    It still seems to me the social users who visit lots of threads in F&G and Chit Chat especially on a mobile are finding it hard going. 😫 Idk about the pc users.


    I did tell Betty I want it back the way it was asap.. so far she's ignoring me 🤣😂

    There's a forum with a list of complaints that Betty has commented on and a thread with a list of bugs they're fixing. I don't think it's going back the way it was. Now where are those emojis?? (Using an android phone, not on the app.)

    If you're in mobile view you have to use your phones keyboard emoji.

    If you change your view to desktop on your phone then you'll see it again in the left lower corner. 🙂

    This is frustrating. I used to always be in desktop view, but the update switched me to mobile view. Can anybody tell me where to go to switch it back? : /

    People in crowded spaces.

    I already have issues dealing with auditory input in crowds or when multiple people are speaking/saying/doing something in my vicinity, but there's just something about the absolute carelessness of other people when they're in crowded places that grinds my gears.

    I understand having a good time, wanting to see all the stuff and do things with your friends/family, but that's not an excuse to not be observant or to let your children run rampant and constantly walk or run in front of me. Multiple people today were either not watching their children.. or weren't watching where they were going themselves. I almost got run over by a man on one of those giant electric shopping cart scooters who wasn't paying attention at all (or just not giving a *kitten* about anyone), two teens on electric scooters in a pedestrian walkway (it's the zoo, not a sidewalk or a bike path), and about a billion parents with their wide-*kitten* double strollers.

    All I'm asking is for people to be a bit observant. That's it.

    Love the bigger choice of easier to find emojis. :)

    But I still wanna know who disagrees all the time. :)

    The fact that no matter what I do, I seem to flirt with injury.

    I'm getting physio on my right knee and left ankle... so most cardio is out, and lifting has to be very careful.

    Yesterday I decided to pull out the crochet hook and after a few hours, I now have an issue in my elbow. WTAF?

    Plus I have an issue in my upper spine that never goes away, and still have problems in my right side ribs.

    I honesly feel jealous of people who are older than me and still able to kill it in the gym. I feel like I'm constantly hurting somewhere. 45 shouldn't feel this old! :laugh:

    It irks me that quoted comments are now linked instead of nested. And it appears to me that this was not the case at one point, as can be seen in the linked comment above.

    I suspect this change from nested to linked occurred when they changed from allowing to disallowing BBCode. Perhaps not, but the fact that it was nesting properly at one point, after switching to the new interface, tells us that they should be able to fix this.

    (@Betty The nested vs linked changed at some point on Nov 10th)

    Please consistently stay with one thing, MFP. You gave me expanded emojis yesterday and immediately after the change, but now I'm back to those crappy basic ones I've been forced to use on desktop for YEARS.

    Stop changing the good stuff back to crap and vice versa.

    I Think the emoji change is because they went back to BBCode for now in order to temporarily address some of the larger bugs. The intention is to do away with BBCode asap, but until they fix those bugs, they've reverted.

    I hope so. I really liked having better emoji choices. I also want to know when and if they are going to change the home page and the rest of the site (including our feeds) to reflect the changes here. It's really weird popping back and forth between different page styles, fonts and placement of links depending on which part of the site I'm on.

    Not an irk, but because so many of us were irked by the lack of a dark mode, there are work-arounds (at least on Firefox/Chrome). Firefox has an extension called "Dark Mode" and yes, it does work on this site. MY EYES ARE THANKING ME NOW.

    Chrome users have an extension, too.. and someone posted the link to it in the Forum Feedback and Suggestions thread.

    Just thought I'd pass it along to save someone else's eyeballs aside from my own!

    No irk but grateful I'm not as observant as everybody else is. Most of the forum irks mentioned have me thinking I have no clue what they're talking about. :)
