Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but the thread preview "hover box" always appears above the thread title, even if that means it appears off-screen (when the thread title is near the top of the screen).
Got a tip for us?

Order of things near the generic footer
Topic-specific share buttons, and the lower breadcrumb trail, should be promoted a little, to appear at the foot of the topic. Probably below the reply area.
Logically: when a person aims to share, they aim to share the topic (not the table that's in the screenshot).
Also, it's not logical to have the breadcrumb trail below things with very different crumbs.

One other "feature" of the former navigational option is that I didn't have to scroll around/drill down quite so much - the forum/subforum I "am in" is at the top of the navigational menu, and the new nav menu always unfurls from the topmost forums which is a time-waster to me as I've got more hunting to do in "where I am and where do I want to go to next". I prefer the previous menu actions. Just saying.
This has been fixed.

@arn, is the border around quotes a little darker today?
That makes sense, even though it means the share buttons are more in the way (has anyone actually used those?).

I did darken them a little. They don't match anything but I was trying to help with some more contrast
Even the smallest of tweaks can be a big help. I think it was a very good decision.
It's certainly an improvement.
However, in Firefox it still takes two clicks to open the menu.
They're fine with me. I'd just like them on the iPhone.
There's space for them on the iPhone version, next to the "New" text and across from the date at the top of posts. Honestly, that's where they should be on desktop as well, instead of taking up horizontal space for the content of posts.
You can see them in landscape orientation as I recall.
It would be nice if this could be updated to take up the entire height of the page. Just look at how much scrolling is required to see everyone who liked this post!
I'm sure you can exchange them for schrute bucks. I'll have to find the exchange rate
Sorry, was going for humor
It's just a little reward system that's built into xenforo. Nothing much, we are stil sorting out what the tiers are.

I actually just came back to delete the sarcasm comment once I googled "schrute bucks." I've never watched the office.
My apologies. I thought it was a snarky comment. Meh, it's late for me (midnight).

Truncation of titles of topics
Whilst weeding subscriptions I found a truncated title at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ing-at-a-substantially-full-capacity.1819314/ – it ended at ful
I corrected, extended the title. I guess that the truncation occurred during migration.
Cramped overlays where a dedicated page would be more appropriate
There's the same problem with the interface to wiki version comparisons.
I sought a way to open things in a new tab, couldn't find one.

You should be able to open the History link as new page. Thanks for reminding me that this is possible with the likes list though, I actually hadn't thought of it.
Share buttons
Never.
Has anyone else used a share button?
Wiki version comparisons
Thanks. So, not working with Command-Click.
Incidentally the version selection interface is not too bad in an overlay. It's the comparison (resulting from selections) that's awfully cramped. https://xenforo.com/community/#xenforo-community-support.22 might be a good place to ask but I don't have privileges.

Add the following to the code I gave you in the other thread:
Code:
openNewWindowOnCommandClick(document.getElementsByClassName('OverlayTrigger'));Sorting all watched threads, new posts …
… and so on. I'd like the table headings to sort the contents. With an additional heading:
(I just spent a very long time ceasing to watch in areas that no longer interest me. If the interface had presented things sorted by area – by forum – the time required would have been more than halved.)
Searching watched areas
Since long before the migration to XenForo, I very often wished for a way to search within watched areas. That wish continues.
A checkbox at https://forums.macrumors.com/search/ would be ideal.
