is there a possibility for having current FAF player names displayed next to the forum names?

speed2

@foodlfg You can, and no anime bullshit, thanks

@foodlfg The forum name is your FAF player name. If you change your FAF name your forum name will get updated.

foodlfg

SOON <- this tm is an unicode char but it gets changed to a shitty picture.
<- why? a simple : D
<- this unicode char emoji is changed as well

as for unicode emojis, cant we just use the ones that are on discort or twitter?
as for the others, throw them out.

@nine2 the side by side preview feature is cool, but it looks less...what's the word...manegable? Intuitive? user friendly? than the old one.

Too much white, too little emphasys.

@DDDX you can change the theme though which is a huge plus. I'm personally using "Cyborg" for a less bright experience. If you click your profile icon in the top right and go to settings there's a "Theme" dropdown. Cyborg is pretty much black, Darkly has grey and Slate has a lighter grey. The others are all white and bright.

So nice to have a movie friendly forum now

The forced opt-in for email bollocks is bollocks.

Welcome to the internet in 2020 where you need consent for everything. Go and complain to your local parliamentarian.
