## 🐞 Bugs & Broken Things **Image/picture posting broken** — Members can’t reliably post pictures; size constraints confirmed it needs fixing. **Real names exposed in notifications** — Notifications show members’ real names instead of usernames (privacy leak). _Priority: High_ · **Editor cut off on the right (CSS)** — Composer clipped on the right depending on sidebar state (marked fixed). _Priority: High_ · **Search icon hidden until scroll** — Home-page search glass only appears after scrolling, so new visitors don’t see search. _Priority: High_ · [@EdMc34ZuZu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/site-performance-and-responsiveness/108/5) **Login trouble on first attempts** — Some members had initial login trouble (improving over time). _Priority: Med_ · [@brookstroutr](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/site-performance-and-responsiveness/108/4) **“Superimposed page” glitch** — New user saw a page overlaid on the current one (likely the composer overlay). _Priority: Med_ · [@gruff54](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/new-post-notifications/97/1) ## ✨ Feature Requests **“View unread posts” button** — Core nav many rely on; “Latest” ≠ “unread,” needs pairing with “Mark all read.” _Priority: High_ · [@MudOilnGears](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/unread-posts-button/104/1), [@magik](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/unread-posts-button/104/2), [@JoeIsuzu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/unread-posts-button/104/4) **Bigger composer / typing window** — Enlarged after requests, but power-users still want more, esp. for marketplace listings. _Priority: High_ · [@EdMc34ZuZu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/edmczuzu34/71/1), [@EdMc34ZuZu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/1990-trooper-ls-2-6-500-lynwood-wa/116/1) **Post Preview option** — Requested early; later found next to the Options “+” and confirmed working. _Priority: Med_ · [@EdMc34ZuZu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/edmczuzu34/71/19) **Site glossary for acronyms** — A glossary of engine/sensor abbreviations (MAF, MAP, IAC, IAT…). _Priority: Low_ · [@AuDmax](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/tags-tags-tags-is-that-enough-characters/75/10) ## 🎨 UX / Design **Can’t figure out how to quote text** — Member couldn’t find how to add a quote when replying. _Priority: Med_ · [@JoeIsuzu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/verticalgrope-is-now-censoring-the-url-for-this-site/121/13) **Username role-colors are confusing** — Members don’t understand why usernames change color; role/Orange-Post styling is unexplained. _Priority: Low_ · [@EdMc34ZuZu](https://forum.isuzunation.com/t/hi-im-forafrank/107/10) ## 🗂 Content & Structure **Tag system: list, creation rights & sprawl** — Want a visible tag list + user tag-creation; staff will pin a suggestions thread and limit creation to L4 (OG/Veteran).

Well, since you asked: I do not see how this generates revenue for the overlords. Does anything else matter? But if you are trying to actually be constructive, then yes – it looks like you used AI effectively, albeit for a lesser purpose than MONEY. ---

I don’t know what you’re talking about,as everything’s fine and just coming up roses..!!🤯 😅 😂 🤣 But seriously,this place makes me feel like I’ve gotten out of the Shower and had a Shave..!! It’s clean..!! Kinda like I had a great coffee,then took a “Healthy Fora-Frank And Cleanly Wiped My VertiScope”.. Ughh.. You Poor Guys..!! As a 65.5 yr. old “Self Confessed Digital Moron”,even I am able to make sense of this “Happy Home” and rudely navigate it’s Halls and Rooms..!! One thing that I’ll figure out is just how to PM you “Plank Owner Legends” so that you have all the dumb stuff from me..!! Ya’ know,my email,name,cell # and even Snail Mail address here in Hot/Humid Ohio..!! Hey,Forward We Go..!! ---

downvoting has always thrown me a bit whereas on reddit it drives down something but sometimes you want to respond to something with simple disapproval. I will offer a suggestion. The masthead photo from the planet was mine. How would you like to use it. ? 🙂 ---

I wouldn’t mind but do they technically own it now based on their buying of the site? Hmmm. 🤔 you could probably request they take it down too 😂 ---

Not really, since I gave them permission to reuse it. And it was my i owned it. There was a thread where I forget somebody requested to replace the masthead long ago. ---

Would it be possible in a thread to have a button at the top to hit for “Last Post” as does the Planet Forum? Would save a lot of scrolling on longer threads. And if that’s possible, maybe “Last Unread Post” too? I’ve found that very useful on other forums I peruse. Especially when the message count in a thread might get to 100 replies or more! Thanks!! ---

Okay. So I’ve got two more knocked out. (1) Mobille UI _ **should** _ be a lot better. (2) In order to quote previous posts in your replies, as a user above said, you actually highlight/select the text that you want to quote in your reply and controls for quoting should appear. @Rumena , can you go back to checking out performance on the work computers? I added a little lightning-bolt icon on the sidebar menu that should allow users to toggle off all blur/transparency in the theming. ---
