Microsoft does this.

And techcrunch apparently too..

These companies change their websites extremely frequently. Anyway it's not important at all, just thought I'd mention it.

You got it : http://imgur.com/a/2Ia1N

Note that Martin's post gets a relayout once I click on it. I'm using firefox on OSX if that matters.

No idea. The font there was on the previous design :)

On the reddit thread, a bug in safari was posted:
"
I found a bug on Safari 7.1.3: each time I click the "Edit" button for the code editor, the gray panel with the code it in gets longer, and pushes the rest of the content in the site down. Here's an album with the before/after screenshots. http://imgur.com/a/TIylc

Thanks for developing the forum software.

One feature request: if there's selected text in the message body when clicking reply, only quote the selected text rather than the whole message body. This is what my email client does.

This would really help on my nexus tablet, it's painful selecting a text block of lines that flow off the visible screen.

Posts themselves looks much better, link to pages and breadcrumb, not that much.

We may already have a ticket for this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15548

I have no idea what's going on here, and I don't have a Mac. So if anyone with access to Safari could have a look at this, that would be great :)

I've tried using browserstack.com to make sense of this. But you only get 30 minutes free trial time, and after 16 minutes all I know is that removing `editor.refresh()` from the edit button action [1] seems to help. But the "Reset" button still messes things up. Also, since this apparently wasn't an issue with the old design, and the JS code hasn't been touched, this should be fixable in CSS.

Please change it so that the "Thread Overview" bar appears on every page, not just the first one in the thread.

Very good but like someone already said, one problem is the "light gray" or whatever color used on quoted text.

Bubba.
