well even w/o the WYSIWYG monster lurking on every page,
it's still not my favourite forum soft tbh, the lack of a "new thread/post" page is a bit annoying.
creating new threads by typing into what looks like a search bar.. meh..
a lot of things we had in vbulletin are now missing (we talked about that before)
like no longer being able to find old attachments (something I used almost daily),
not having a searchable (or any) user-list and so on and so forth.
to me it feels very incomplete!
and if that'd mean it's quick and clean I'd be alright, but it's slow and laggy and overloaded with javascripts that
more often than not come from different vendors and fight each other constantly in the background..
and don't get me started on what's behind the frontend.
I mean 200 db tables because some doofus wasn't able to put one more column into an existing table?
and about every single information is now in it's own db table?
Or putting html in php (which is a terrible idea, since you cannot just make a style from scratch without modifying the source codes)
the ONLY thing that IS actually nice is the responsiveness of the templates to fit onto a mobile screen.
And while I'm again not too much of a fan, the template itself is rather nice.
not always (search results) , not everything of it (round avatars are BS)
it's something one can get used to over time.
the lack of tools and options is much harder to get used to.
(starting with the lack of a breadcrumb above the thread.. having one at the bottom of a page is pointless to me)
