I know they're working hard. I just want to make sure they don't forget anything. :) Building from scratch can mean important things unintentionally get left out (especially if their importance isn't realized). I know you and ozone are the acting user-coder mediaries, and that's a lot for you too.
Like others, I do wish things were more polished before the move. But I know there are bothersome business-y deadlines and stuff. I can put up with functional-but-frustrating as long as I know stuff is getting done to correct it and not leaving us dead in the water (as DD does have precedence for).

Howsabout a pick your own forum color functionality in the next version of the forum?
It should be rather easy to create… (Even I could do it)

I'm baffled. We've been saying for months how horrendous this is. What were they doing in that time?
God I was gonna write more but my eyes are seriolusly hurting right now so I'm cutting this short
I'm not really around much anymore, but here's my Tumblr, Twitter, and Deviantart. Also if you remember me from back when I was around, I'm sorry.

Some may have probably noticed that I'm not really popping up that much, around here, nowadays. That's partly because I'm exceptionally unhappy with the way the forum is set up, both color-wise and funcionality-wise. It's also that I simply have less free time, nowadays, what with school taking up allot of my time.
But seriously man, while I can handle the name, I can't handle this crappy forum, which was one of the main things that was keeping me here.

After spending a better part of the day problemsolving through the internet, you kinda want to take a break from it during your time off. Doesn't mean I'll be gone gone, though.

Unfortunetly though, after being on the front seat in the “the site will get better… after the changover” bandwagon, I've kinda burned through all of my patience already. Allot of people I've gotten to know for the past year or more have fled this site for exactly this reason, and being someone who extensively used the forum, I feel that the state it was left in to be highly unexceptable.
Quoting is a pain,creating links is a damn challenge, allot of old features are missing andI'm afraid to press the edit button out of fear of having the whole thing blow up in my face.
These are all things I pointed out over two months ago, after pointing these issues out long before that, while they were still designing this mess. I honestly can't understand why they couldn't just kept the old forum editor, since it worked adequately enough, and focusedinsteadon more important things, like that new comic editor of theirs.And how many times do we have to bring up the damn color?
P.S. I know I didn't get a chance to do so before, so welcome back from your trip. Glad to know that you enjoyed your global trip thing. You didn't show up here, though.

There you go; wrote a fairly straightforward reply and I can point out at least 3 things that are wrong with it:
* Quote in quote is not working properly.
* The automatically generated link, that should take users to Oz's profile leads nowhere.
* Line spacing is still not working properly, even though I pressed enter - space bar - enter, after every paragraph.
And if I press edit to try to fix it, the quotes will dissapear and the line spacing will become even more messed up than before. Know that one from experience.
Edit: Ah! And apparently, the bullets are not working either.

Those were my two cents.

I KNOW there's no debate on the name deal — but still, I propose an alternate: DaftDuck.
Really, isn't it a little crazy that I get CF “PM”s for a DD game because the DD PQ system is dismal?
(oh wait – another name: dismalduck)
yes, Leet. I'm talking about you.

The PQ system is excellent here, but unfortunately since there's no indication whatsoever as to when you've received a new PQ, it's a pain in the you-know-what to even bother with.

I haven't been to the site in a while, and upon coming across the home page I didn't know it was an online comic site anymore! :P

Still plenty of drinking. Just listen to the Quackcast or wait around for the next online meet up. Read some of the comics and you will wonder if anyone around here is ever sober.

Sorry if I seemed flippant. It was a long, arduous and very expensive process to et things running right :(
And we still have a ways to go in some respects.
