Still, I can not see a reply to a specific post button on this thread now, only the option to edit everyone's posts.
Edit: Hm. Accidentally hit the Add Reply button twice, and it duplicated my post. I was going to delete this post, but I don't see a way to delete a post.

That should give the TinyMCE editors a solid background (you can pop that in your own CSS rather than fiddling around with TinyMCE's stuff).
My bio still doesn't have any text in it (pretty sure I used the bottom most button labeled "Edit"). If you think there's a chance that people could get confused about edit buttons, then you should probably sort that out (fieldsets are a good way of highlighting that kind of grouping) ;)
Are there plans to bring back some kind of notifications prompt? It was nice to be able to jump to new stuff with a single click on the previous site?
body.mceContentBody {
background:#FFF;
}
But that messed up tinymce's word wrap...sigh i hate tinymce need to look for a better web editor it's just becoming more of a pain to work with!
Edit > On pasting into the editor it should now remove html code so it doesn't mess anything up :)
Pagination moved above reply box.
You get a red notication on your private message link when you have a new one there, I just need to figure out a simple way for other things like replies to forum and articles, may take a while though.

However, I have noticed that the comment box for articles is now extending underneath the sideboxes.
Also, I have mentioned this before, but is there any chance of getting the Shoutbox back?
EDIT: Also, I think the gaming chat areas should be moved above the general chat on the forum page.
As for shoutbox, I will have a look :)

I cannot implement a "quote" button on a post easily unless it sends you to another page (which then just populates the textarea with the requested post in a quote) as i don't know javascript to have it just be placed into the text box - would that be sufficient for now though? I asked for help on it and got lectured to basically go away and learn JS by someone on github *sigh* don't have time to learn another language.

Still, I just noticed that the "Pagination" buttons are still below the comment box on articles. This should be made consistent.
There is always going to be one more thing... ;)
New editor. If it's missing any essential bbcode buttons let me know it's quite easy to add to this one.
Quoting people is in.
Profiles fields not completed are hidden.
New style for quotes, looks nicer.
Here's another weird bug for you. When someone replies to this thread, I get an e-mail with a link to it, like this:
The first time I click this link in my e-mail, it takes me to a 404 page.But if I close my browser and click it again, then it works.
Also, a couple of minor nits:
1) When I made my first post, it automatically subscribed me to this thread. So now I get an e-mail when people reply. Most forums don't automatically subscribe you when you post. You have to explicitly subscribe.
Edit: looks like there's a little checkbox I didn't see before for subscribing to the thread, and it's checked by default. Would be nice if this wasn't checked by default.
2) I'm getting an e-mail every time someone posts to this thread, which is mildly annoying. Most forums usually just send the e-mail on the first reply, and have a line in it that says you won't be notified of any other posts until you visit the forum. Maybe the quickest workaround is to not automatically subscribe someone to a thread when they post. But of course, if someone does subscribe to a busy thread, then they're back to an inbox that grows full of "New reply" messages. Don't know how easy it is to fix it so you only get an e-mail on the first reply.
SCEditor looks pretty neat.
I appreciate it actually (though perhaps the subscribe checkbox should live above the editor?). What I miss is that GOL notification emails don't have some of the post content in them anymore :(

Yeah, I miss that to, although I also understand why the automatic subscribing has been getting on Troy's nerves.
Something else I noticed is that this forum does not support signatures - I am not really sure if that bothers me or not, but it is something I noticed.
Still, three cheers to Liam for working his butt off to respond to all of our little nit picks. ;)
EDIT: The comment box is still extending on top of the sidebar when you load up an article.
Also, the preview link when creating an article from [url=here]here[/url] just goes to the main index page, losing everything that's been entered. :(
BBCode isn't working properly either? I put an image in the tagline for the article I just added using the image button, but it just displayed BBCode on the main page.
Also, it doesn't seem to be quite working properly in comments either? The link above was corrected automatically after I edited my post.
