 Horror! Demons in the Deep!

 I like how its easier to see previous posts. Although many icons would be nice if changed to DF-themed stuff.

 That would be awesomesauce.

Yeah, I think options like marquee could be removed because they are usually abused, and they are annoying to read.
As I argued before, I think these sort of options should remain available and we should just ban idiots who misuse them.

I guess I should go find a suitable avatar.

Avatars! Formatting features! Very nice. Very nice.

But why the constraint on using spoiler tags? I got an error when I tried to make a post with them, saying I didn't have permission to do so!

 Could somebody post the dimensions of the characters in DF, and recommended dimensions of avatars? I want to open a DF avatar shop...

 Legendaries, anyone?

There is ONE MAJOR issue whit the new forum: when posting a reply the text isn't square in the window you type in, so it is impossible to do ASCII art! :(
This causes serous troubles for example whit the map in BotG.

The ultimate solution would be for someone good at such stuff to do an ASCII art plugin, maybe even whit colours that dosn't mes up whit formatting and such.
Until that happens could you maybe change the font to a square one and make the typing window bigger?

It is possible. Just make the art in a seperate editor...
Code: [Select]
Then put it in [code] tags.

Wow. It's so weird having pictures to associate with everybody...
Not sure I'm sold on the "Suh-Wish!" look the forum's sporting, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Great job Toady!

It took me about five minutes to log in, but now I rather like this forum.
Hmm... now to find an avatar I like.

EDIT: Oh, and it's probably worth mentioning that marquee is for some reason easier for me to read. Probably because it keeps me from even having to move my eyes, as it moves at about the speed I read.
