Yes, of course.

So far this upgrade really sucks. And I'm not generally one to complain about site changes.

I'm very pleased with the amount of negative SOPA propaganda and site darkenings today.

In fact, for what is probably the first time ever, YouTube will return zero search results for the term "cats."
EDIT: Or at least this was the case earlier during YouTube's strike. Cheezburger Network has gone dark too. Go figure.

The site of one Dutch political party also had a banner against SOPA. Well if they care so much about the internet not being censored, how about they start doing something against the Dutch thepiratebay block first? xD (then again, I do think they are trying to get the government to do something about it with other parties, but it's not going fast)

It looks like European governments are on the bandwagon too, especially with that pre-SOPA skirmish with the British teen who was sued for millions and brought to America for trial, all simply for linking (not even uploading or streaming!) to copyrighted movies from his website.

It also opens a fortress of doors for American government censorship metaphors, doesn't it? xD (Like the fun Internet-rape analogy I'm currently using as a signature...)

First time logging in after the upgrade.
For one thing, I like the new text boxes that appear in those Reply areas.


Fuck SOFA

SOFA ROCKS!
Is there a separate abbreviation for SOFA, or was that a line in all caps? (That recent issue is SOPA, so just asking XD)

1st time logging in for me, I have 87 threads to go through to get rid of all those notifications Dx<

Also, while the new reply boxes are easier to see, now I can't make the box bigger because iPads/iPhones can't drag the corner :( I relied solely on those little arrows in the top right corners to do that (;-;)

I didn't subscribe to any particular thread (did subscribe to forum sections but I hardly make use of the subscription system in the first place), so I didn't receive any notifications for those.

Ooof, I won't bother you by quoting or mentioning you :p

Wow, I just realized that I could make this text box bigger. It works for me atm, but this is on a laptop, so.
Aw, that's too bad. Sometimes when I see people using iPad or Smartphones to browse internet, I wonder if it's comfortable when there is no keyboard. I'd still love to have one, I guess.

Lucky lol I basically only used the subs to keep track of active and old trades, and where the heck I've posted. But now that I'm getting notifications every 30secs or so up the wazoo, I need to find that option to not sub to every single thread I post in automatically lol

It's comfortable for the most part. Though now that I have an iPad, I'm never using my phone to type again lol

That would be handy. The best use for the subscription notification I can think of is for those trading threads. I think the idea was brought up before.

Viewing internet sites on the small phone screens sounds uncomfortable XD

I visit only a few sections regularly, so those subscriptions don't have much use for me.
In fact, subscribing to every thread in, for example, LUE, doesn't sound so efficient when I do visit here regularly when I log in.

Social Group subscribing might be worth it though, since mentions/quotes don't work there.

@yourlilemogirl - Long time no see.

The deal with the subscription notifications is that once you post, you're auto subbed. FOREVER! :D

coming from someone that used to sub in mafia game threads xD

Actually, I think you can turn off the option to auto subscribe to threads, or at least, it worked for me.
