Also is it just my or are there a lot of broken icons atm when making a new post?

Edit: And though I usually go for the dark themes, I have blue for now because it looks like the previous layout the most. The black and white blocks gave me a headache and obstructed fast reading through many replies. This makes for lighter reading with no colour interruptions.

Yeah, after trying all of the themes, I like blue, but it's just a bit on the bright side for me. I miss the old site. Also, am I the only one annoyed that now the button at the top of the page is just a little rectangle and no longer says "Alerts?" It now takes me a minute to figure out which button it is.

It's something that I need to get used to...
 
I'm pretty used to it all now. Still preferred it before, but its fine atm. Still looks too much like other forums though. Just waiting for him to add back other reactions and such.

I hope he does. I was particularly fond of the Thanks and Informative ratings, but I also miss the variety.

He told me he'd look into adding more reactions once more critical things are taken care of. Just as long as he remembers or doesn't find issues with it, we should have them back.

I want to say agree but since it isn't there anymore....
xD I do think he already said on the October Update thread that he is working on adding back many of the rating options because so many people asked for them (so go post there and add your opinion to strengthen this idea?).

I also prefer them to be a normally visible bar because the extra click to select the right one I think makes people less eager to use the ratings.

And there is a definitely difference between 'like' and 'agree' and 'informative' that I think is quite important on this site.
For my part they can actually replace the "welcome" one (for new members, which is kind of pointless?) to the more useful "you're welcome" for which I sometimes abuse it. Because when someone replies thanking you, you kind of want to respond politely but don't want to make an entire post that makes them think you really have something new to add...
... if you catch my drift? xD

I did, he responded to me by saying what I said above.

Yeah, I've noticed less ratings going around. Less people seem ot know about more than just the like too.

I always wanted to use welcome for that too. I saw others using it. I never actually went ahead and did it as it may have seemed weird to welcome them....

Yeah, I'm admit, I'm not exactly fond of all the squares. I want words, what happened to all the words? I'll never be able to remember which square does which thing. My memory isn't that good.
 
What squares is everyone seeing? I'm not seeing squares.

Oh, I forgot to mention but...

The last like 4 days my Male Pearl Gourami has been extremely shy, he always hangs out next to the heater or inside of his cave. So whenever I come up to feed the tank he bolts away to his cave and I have not seen him eat in a while. Should I be worried?

Mine was like that after he killed my female. Slowly a bacterial infection crept in from where she fought back. Got pretty bad but I've got him back to normal now. Could be that your guy has been bullied, or is sick. Watch him for symptoms or for aggression from other fish. My guy ate though. Add some of his favourite food over where he is hiding after distracting other fish elsewhere - that worked with my guy when he was hiding.

That's weird, my female is like the first one to eat and is pretty healthy, I have not seen any interactions yet but I will have to check him out.

There's a little square next to the like, quote, and reply options, there's squares next to everything at the top of the page, and where there used to be the alert and account options, there's instead just a group of four squares you can click on. Though I guess it's possible that some of them are actually rectangles.

There is, and I loved it. I think Joaquin is better than Heath Ledger (though you may not have even seen Heath).

I've never been able to see Joaquin Phoenix as anything but evil ever since I saw Gladiator. And after seeing A Knight's Tale, I can't see Heath Ledger as anything but good...so I never watched him as the Joker. Also the joker scares me. And Jack Nicholson was the best one. I mean seriously, who plays crazy evil better than him?

Those two are the movies I always remember them by too. Though I never liked Jack as Joker. Maybe because it was before my time, but I just find his Joker bad. Joaquin was really great.

Maybe it is a generational thing. I grew up associating Jack Nicholson with The Shining, so the Joker wasn't a far stretch from that. I'm sure to you he just looks like another old guy lol. "Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" C'mon that is classic! lol

No, no, I've seen the Dark Knight. And loved it I've even seen Rises but that kind of sucked. A lot.
I've gotten curious now but pretty sure it is one of those cinematic universe tie-in things right? I avoid those like the plague (which I why I no longer watch superhero movies).

And yup, Jack as Joker is just too much a classic to dislike. But I guess it is like that when you are introduced to characters through a certain actor's interpretation, it is hard to shake.
It's kind of like I can't unsee Romeo + Juliet with Leo as Romeo ... I avoided Titanic in the early years of its release and then when I watched it was so distracted. "What is romeo doing in my 20th century boat movie? Get out of my movie shakespeare!!"

Ah okay. I didn't like Rises either. Joker is standalone. It has nothing to do with other DC movies. I guess Jack isn't necessarily bad, I've just never seem him as Joker. Mark Hamill is fantastic. Jared Leto the worst!

Oooh, kind of like Logan compared to the rest of the x-men movies? I did actually watch that one as an exception, it was fantastic. I'll look into this.

Yeah, I was honestly just confused by Logan. Like, on it's own it was pretty good, but it was also supposed to be a way of getting Wolverine out of the X-men franchise, and I honestly didn't see how it tied into the rest of the movies, or explained why he wouldn't be in any more of them. I think there have just been a few too many reboots and time travel related changes in the X-men franchise for me to follow. I am glad to hear that you guys liked Joker, though. I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm excited to watch it.
