My team wasn't sought for approval. What's the backout method?

The one before it was "1". A highly amusing jape.

Some. The conclusion to which was "don't tell anyone next time".

Anyway, they should be back now.

Normals would have seen a message about re-synching the dotted topics. Turning the board on and off shows up in the log with the handy description "Altered board settings".

Oh yeah! That'll be the third thing I changed.
The list will still be at the bottom of each page, but it won't show you on each post (which strips a whole left join from the 'get posts' query, as for some absurd reason that information isn't stored in the user table).

Grim... should just do the approach used by sinister Facebook and change everything on a whim every once in a while. And then replace the board's clear and simple layout with an ugly, over-complicated, and permanent 'Timeline'

I think dots for topics that you have posted in should be a feature only open to subscribers who pay £2 per month.

What happened to the new forum you were building based on all the feature requests?

Make everything optional in profiles!!!

I'd like Mr Russell to be optional, with the default "off".

What would be the point? Dotted topics were disabled to reduce load on the server - if people can have them on it has to keep track of all of them anyway.

Waaah waaah waaah you didn't consult every single one of us that use this forum for free and you didn't go through a lengthy process of voting and arguing followed by ongoing petty sniping. I demand transparency.

I've grown quite accustomed to the dots. But I've had cataracts for a while now.

It's like a light show in your face every day, 24/7.

I never noticed them before, but now I have and I appreciate the extra strain they put on the server, I think they're almost pointless.
