Is it intended that if I'm ignoring a user, I can never see any thread they started, nor any part of it?

I got a notification about a new reply in a thread for a game I care about a lot, but since the first post in that thread happens to be by someone I'm ignoring, I can't read any of it.
Make choices, face consequences. As it should be.

Uncheck the box at the bottom still a pain in the ass to show ignored threads but hey you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Apologizes if this has already been reported but when you're typing paragraphs then press backspace in second paragraph. It sometimes goes up. here's an example of what I mean:

Also. On old codex you used to be able to open, or rather maximize editing window to fill whole screen - sorry if I'm not describing it correctly. Anyways it made writing long posts super easy. Wanna that feature back...

Are you using Shift+Enter instead of just Enter at the end of lines? There's a bug with that in Froala, so don't use Shift+Enter.

Twiglard is there a way to permanently (via a setting, for instance) sort out certain forums from the "New Posts"-tab? Would be extremely useful.

Must have been mentioned, unless it's just me, but on mobile upon refreshing the shoutbox icon in the top bar appears 1 second after the other icons, pushing them to the left and causing me to frequently missclick when trying to access the "what's new" or "alerts" icons.

If you use b element to bold words it reverts text size. You have to actually highlight the word then modify its text size after using b element. Very weird. don't remember it behaving like that in old Codex. An example:

The final text ends up looking like this:

I expect it wouldn't happen if you consistently used either the HTML editor or the raw BB code editor. If you mix BB code into WYSIWYG you're bound to end up with a mess. Just use ctrl+b on anything you want to bold, or hit the bold button.

Haven't read the thread so this may have already been mentioned, but editing within quotes is busted. Pressing enter breaks the quote, and oftentimes deleting empty lines erases text formatting. Yes, this can be rectified by toggling BBcode, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Also, I liked it better when if a post received multiple ratings since the last alert, the site only generated one alert to avoid redundancy.

edit - another thing, in watched threads list of old Codex I could click the subforum name under the thread title and go directly to that subforum. Now if I click the subforum, located to the right, it filters my watched threads. I rather liked the previous functionality of the subforum label associated with a thread.

Updated the opening post with the name of the Codexer who suggested each entry. If a problem has been resolved, please make a post in this thread noting it. :M

Press Shift+Enter.

Press Shift+Backspace or Shift+Delete.

Try it now. Here's the source if it gets lost.
Diff:
file svStandardLib_macros
macro "render_forum_filter"
<    <a href="{{ link($filterRoute, $filterContainer, $filters) }}" class="labelLink" rel="nofollow" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="{{
<        ($removeFilter
<            ? phrase('svStandardLib_remove_from_filters')
<            : phrase('svStandardLib_add_to_filters')
<        )|for_attr }}"  rel="nofollow">
>    <a href="{{ link('forums', $forum, []) }}" class="labelLink" rel="nofollow" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="{$forum.title}" rel="nofollow">

I keep getting this error no matter the browser or the platform, where I click the reply button in the profile posts section, hangs for a little bit and if you click more times it ends up creating several reply boxes.

When referring to peak aesthetics (such as 80s or fascist aesthetics like in Triump of the Will or Miami Vice, or something like this) it often feels right to write it in all-caps with a space between each letter.

Like P E A K A E S T H E T I C S!

But lo and behold! Despite the fact that I inserted 3 spaces to separate the 2 words, the Codex auto-trimmed it down to 1 measly space, so that it looks like 1 word!

This is confounding, and brings us one step closer to ruin.

:mob:

That's how it's always worked, if every retard that can't space words properly (oh, I'm sure there are a few) got to show it here too, we'd have an even bigger mess on our hands.

Multiple spaces show within CODE tags, but obviously that comes with a CODE frame as well.

Code:
OH     NOES     ...

would be possible if not already requested on another topic or brought up to have limitations to image size with the "excess" portion turning into a optional "click to expand" feature. Kinda like a smaller miniature with optional zoom/expand function.

Then at least force a space after commas as well.

Oh niggling problems...must have misread that.

Why does this site make me download those files sometimes...I know someone mentioned it but I was...well I did not care at the time but now I deleted like 100 of them.

You know I've been banned from places for using similar sounding words mistaken by wookies for being racist. Such as niggardly.
