I'm not too familiar with that one. Could you tell me more what you mean?

He's referring to some version of a Ref Tagger.

I've used Faith Life Ref Tagger and it was excellent.

Sure.

When you post a verse coordinate like this:

John 3:16

... it used to be possible to hover your cursor over the verse and a small pop-up window would appear above/below the verse coordinate that contained the verse. Very handy when discussing Biblical concepts.

ETA: And making it KJV version would be amazing. ;)

One tweek that would improve things. The green online icon wipes out the avatar. It's too big. It needs to be smaller. Either the avatar needs to be bigger, or the green online icon needs to be moved to a different location. Or do what the webmaster on another Zenforo board did, get rid of it altogether. :)

Even though I have it turned off on my account, it still shows from my view. Not fond of seeing on my posts when I am logged in.
I did notice the Avatar images are smaller. That was a bit disappointing.

NKJV would be preferable.

But no more ugly gray heads for those who don't want to install an avatar. I really hate those gray blanks. The colored letters look much nicer.
What does it put in place of the gray heads now? I haven't noticed.

I just like the look of this upgrade - the avatar is a dot, the down arrow is a dot and the thread starter icon is a dot. It just looks artsy and pleasant without hogging up a lot of bandwidth.

I see the simple text indentation feature is also no longer available. I liked to use that when quoting Scripture, to highlight it from the normal text.

Tastes a bit metallic to me. Needs more color in the background. Font is smaller. I lost my password to lightlysalted but I'll find it.
Need to do some navigating and check out the barista.
just my opinion

You can change the look [design] of the forum by clicking on the "style chooser" at the bottom left of the main forum page. [just below the "About us" sign]

I have changed the forum look [for myself] a number of times. The one I have now is called UI.* Its bright and clear with nice colors too...

I'm not excited about the lack of font color choices. I'm on mobile all the time and things are harder to find. I can't find the features that were here before and I dislike the colors. They're not easy on the eyes. But I'll try @Angelina's suggestion and look for a way to change the appearance. I looked for it yesterday and couldn't find it.

one thing I've always wished I could do was to set a preferred font (style, color, size, etc) in settings so that everytime I post, I don't have to change it.

@doughty is the style chooser at the bottom of the page available to all members? If not. I think it should be because it gives members a choice...
Please do ....I am on mobile and there is no option for changing the color scheme. I dislike the baby blue on white or white on baby blue. Ugh ....and everytime I try to change my font, I click on the options and it moves my cursor. You probably wouldn't understand what I'm saying unless you're on mobile and tried to change your font in a post. The site is too cumbersome on mobile. It makes it less desirous to come here and fumble around with it.

An Admin would have to enable this permission for all members. Presently this permission has not been granted.
