December 2017 updates
Original post
Hi everybody,
Today's updates focus on the forums. Included:
* New visual design
* Better support for mobile devices (the forums should look good on your phone)
* style your messages with MarkDown syntax
* A vast array of embeddable emoji
* "ground rules" -- thread guidance from the original poster
* react to posts with an emoji. Sometimes that's all you need.
Known issues at this stage:
* You can't see if you have already reacted to a post
* You can change your reaction, but you can't remove it
* a reference to the emoji shortcodes is probably needed
Let me know here if you strike anything else. :sunglasses:
Ngā mihi,
Matthew

Kewl ! A quantum leap in presentation. Thanks.
Gave the OP a 'thumbs up', then tried it for another, but it only registered the first of mine. : )
Hmmm. Posts no longer recognising emoji in text ?. :) : )

FYI : I'm not seeing a 'start new thread' button when looking at the list of threads - only see it when in a thread.
Noted. Btw the emoticon fix plus seeing who reacted are both done but not deployed.
