Personally I think it is the ease with which images can be inserted into a post.
The old board was a PITA for that because of needing to have the file locally or you ended up hotlinking it to a 3rd party site (which had it’s own dangers of the site changed the image but didn’t change the file name). And of course the size limits that prevented posting images without manual resizing.
On the new board you can copy and paste and image directly into the post. So much easier.

Nothing is better about this board. It’s a pain in the butt to quote. It’s hard to find your place in a thread after posting. The color scheme is horrible. I used to log onto the old board daily. I only log on this less user friendly board every couple of days.
Of course I saw that thread. If you read through it you’ll see that the edit feature only works if you reach member level 3. The requirement for that level are pretty high, so many people had to ask moderators to bump their member level manually. I’m currently at member level 2.
Yeah. What’s with that anyway? Sometimes it refreshes every few seconds. It’s hard enough to deal with the glitches with the text editor (I am on an iPad which only deletes with the backspace… sometimes it just keeps deleting characters after I quit tapping the backspace key, forcing me to cancel the response and start over.) and the autocorrect.
I think it’s less to do with the software and more to do with how it is configured here. It appears another board I visit switched to the same software and it is not an issue. It wasn’t an issue on here for months. So something has changed with this local variant.
