Forum maintenance.

They've been doing something today, without shutting down the forums.

The gray border around avatars is gone. The gems representing reputation no longer have a border, and are much brighter. Complete replacement of all smilies, and these don't have the white cutout around them. "New Post" and "New Thread" buttons aren't red on the hero skin, they're blue now.

Keep up the good work, webmaster(s).

Yeah I noticed the redside new reply button was no longer blue. I haven't yet braved the hero skin again, it was just too horrid. I'm used to the red now. After 5 years of hero blue...

Sections are collapsible. Is that new or have I just now stumbled onto it?

It already worked ( at least for me ); what's different now is that the icon works. A white triangle instead of the Red X Of Death.

The grey thingie around avatar i still have, added that suddenly everything scrolls less smooth. Or that might be because some is using a 2MB avatar again

I just updated Firefox to 3.5.2 (was using 3.0.something), so I don't know if this is a result of that, or some more maintenance (forums have been very slow today), but pages aren't resetting to the top when I refresh them now.

I'm more pleased with these forums, and the people maintaining them, every day.

Yep, that's a factor of upgrading. Firefox with any version earlier than 3.5.0 didn't remember page place when hitting the back button or refreshing the page.

Much of that is just uploading newer CSS files and images. While I'm partly surprised they did it on the fly like that, it's probably how I would have done it. If they have to play around with the database, then yeah, the forums are going down.

That's incorrect. I'd been using Firefox 3.0.whatever from the time just after I replaced my main system (which was just before i had to go to the hospital for the lung thing) until last night, almost exactly six months total, and I never had a problem with pages defaulting to the top when I refreshed them. It was an issue exclusive to this site with the new forum software. The old forums never failed to retain page position when I refreshed pages, nor did any other site I frequent.

I meant specifically for these forums after the migration (that's what we were talking about, anyway), Firefox of versions earlier than 3.5.0 were not remembering their place on pages.
