Will it support .gif images? I hated Ruqqus but their moving background capabilities really helped my +HitlerWasRight sub.

I guess that's more of a sub customization question, but still curious if this will too.

Edit: It does but it's blocked by the posts.

No, but that's a good idea.

Also, embedded images were wonderful.

That does look cool how you can see them all without opening individually.

What sucks is ruqqus deleted all your originals and I can only view the thumbnail of them so can't read the letter from Schmidt on Hitler's Germany. Am curious now so if you have have it saved and can find it I would appreciate a look.

The originals are still there and I can still click on them. Are you not able to open in a new tab?

Haha didn't occur to me to do that. I just clicked on the image which enlarged it a fraction and when I click "View Original" to see the full size, zoomable version I get a Ruqqus 404 error.

Are there any heterosexual options?

You can only get heterosexual background images from @joe_mccarthy and sometimes @blumen4alles if you prefer the younger ladies of this decade.

Wait, the choices are gay porn or kiddie porn? So it's just like old Voat.

It is shockingly similar to old Voat, except there are much much fewer Qtards.

Is there any way you can make a transparency setting for where the comments and replies are?

system,

VITAL VITAL VITAL!!!!

Get rid of shitty dark mode default unless user selects it , because it chases away 90% of potential users!

BLACK atop WHITE is fastest to comprehend.

In countless psychology spead-reading comprehension tests, for over 50 years, BLACK TEXT on WHITE is the fastest for humans to read, and serif font faster than non serif font. Not one study ever showed otherwise. Also, all the top 200 web sites, ranked by alexa, all 200, feature body text that is BLACK on either white or almost white.

NOT ONE popular web site is dark mode for body text blocks, because they all got knocked out of top 200, or went bankrupt.

Science is science. Facts are facts. Its not a belief system or an opinion. I typed hard facts.

laurenscharff.com/research/survreslts.html

https://www.alexa.com/topsites

See? The top 200 web sites, by traffic, on alexa survey are all BLACK TEXT atop a white or near-white background, like all books and newspapers.

Its not a coincidence. To be relevant and popular, you need to have black text on white or nearly white background for block body text, like all 200 known top web sites. All.

other caution : DATABASE CORRUPTION ?

Also, as for bugs, sometimes I get replies in my comment inbox that were meant for other user accounts comments (capicua), so you either have database corruption bug, or lock race condition. They only happen if I am also very active in the same thread though. Here is an example of a misdirected comment to my inbox WITHOUT a "USER NOTE HAIL of @try" and no edits to hide prior "@try" : https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost.php?postid=60c937e5f0d82&commentid=60c9844403e48

See? That remark got misfiled to me, unless it was a design of post salvation of a new comment with a missing parent.

anyway!!! great job.

And if you want to be 10 times larger, you need to get rid of dark mode default for non logged in users. white font on black body text chases away 90% of users.

Fuck, I clicked Systems lower link and my shit turned his colors. Now I have to figure out how to reverse it.

Edit, wasn't hard. Clicked on my name and went to settings. The text color is still screwed up though.
