    Does that mean "break it" Thursday has gone for good or just this Thursday is fixed?

    Looks like the "fix" is messing up pages again.

    All my Bookmarks are marked as Unread, when in fact most have been opened. In fact, when I go into a forum, everything is marked as unread.

    Blue headers back again. The site stability is a disgrace. Your support is a disgrace. The few die hards that remain will finally say their goodbyes if this keeps up.

    As I said a page or two back (or maybe in the bugs thread) this is the default theme that Vanilla comes with. Look back at the first pages of this thread and it'll all sound familiar.

    Once again, whatever update or fix they've applied has broken the subsequent customisation that's layered on top of this to give us the "normal" layout.

    It'll be like this until they reapply that customisation and it'll keep happening every time a fix/patch/update breaks something.

    Remember though... it was unsustainable custiomisation and problems with updates that was part of the reason given for migrating to this mess in the first place!

    On desk top the Boards logo title bar has gone back to being half hidden by the category bar.

    Even at that, you'd think the disruptions would be costing money... but then there's almost no paid Talk To's here anymore and the ad revenue is probably minimal in an age of adblockers and (in this site's case) very intrusive and disruptive ads as a regular thing.


    Looks to be back to "normal" now though?

    Two more glitches to report.

    The quote button wouldn't work for me just now in a thread, nothing happened when I pressed it.

    I just edited a post in a long thread - and that post is now numbered 3, instead of 22,863. (I presume it'll revert to the correct number once I refresh the page, but whatever glitch is causing that to happen has not been fixed)
