Posting Page Changes

Nova

Hello MFP Community! We are in the process of updating our forums to make the most of the new features provided by our forum provider. We want to take a moment to inform you about some changes that will be made to the posting pages. In addition to a visual overhaul, a few features will be relocated, and some will receive minor adjustments from what you're accustomed to. Keep an eye out for some exciting changes beginning the week of November 17th!

Comment Editor

Let's start with some good news: the comment editor will not be changed. We made updates to it earlier this year, so all the features you rely on for drafting your comments and posts are here to stay. This remains true despite any other changes mentioned below. 

Share Button (New)

We’re excited to introduce a fantastic new feature! Next to the reaction bars, you'll now find a handy "Share" button. This allows you to effortlessly copy the URL or email a link to any post or comment, making it super easy to share helpful resources with friends, family, or new members. We know how tricky it can be to find information buried in comments, but don't worry—the link will take your viewers right to the specific comment they need! Plus, you can quickly copy the URL of a comment by just clicking the “copy” button next to the post's timestamp. 

User Tags (New)

We’ve added new indicators next to your username on your posts. Check them out!

• OP Indicator: This indicates when a member is the original poster of the Discussion.
• Rank: Your user rank will be listed next to your username- whether you are a Member, Spam Moderator, Community Helper, Moderator, or Staff, etc. You can read more about ranks here.

Reactions (Update)

This update introduces a more streamlined design for reactions. The buttons are now more compact, featuring just icons for each reaction, making it easier to engage. To add a reaction to a comment, simply click or tap on your choice. Remember, reactions are anonymous to all users, with the exception of moderators and staff. Enjoy expressing yourself!

Quotes (Update)

Quoting is easier than ever with a dedicated button. Just click or tap it to effortlessly quote the selected post right in the comment field.

Other Visual Updates

• The post count will no longer be displayed on individual posts. While post counts won't be shown on individual posts anymore, you can effortlessly check a user’s post count by clicking their photo or visiting their profile.
• The Categories list will now be removed from the sidebar, making it more streamlined. You can still easily access it through the main site navigation.
