I was out of the forum like 2 days, now i see some new things, a new Discourse version, new emoticons, A LOT OF NEW USERS THAT I NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND ARE REGISTERED A LONG TIME AGO, GIF support, etc.
@TReKiE intentionally upgraded the new Discourse version. Despite its flaws, at least we have live typing notifications for threads.
we always did have them, if you had desktop nofications on.
I mean when people are typing.
