How it is any different from a streamlined BB forum?

* Topics are sorted the exact same way as a BB, by default. * Posts have all the usual multimedia features. * The search actually works. * It's super fast and minimal.

I'm generally curious what your UX frustrations are here...

1. You click a search result and the content that showed up in the search result snippet is not on the page you get linked to because it's only lazily loading the N most recent replies and there's been more than N since it was indexed by a search engine

2. When you try to Ctrl-F search it hijacks it with the server side search, it is slower than the browser search. It also does not reliably default to search in this thread, and sometimes fails to find content that's on screen even.

3. The WIP reply draft is synced across all your tabs, which can be obnoxious if you're trying to read one post to reply in another topic based on its contents.

Agreed. It’s awful. It tried to innovate too much that it resulted in a not so easy to use app.

Glad most forums use xenforo.
