I guess I'll have to stick with the 0k avatar that's there now. :D
Fixed. The size limit now is 256k, at 100x100. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Keep them coming, folks!

Is there any chance at a mark topics as read button? I didn't catch any feedback on that suggestion.

I noticed that, too. However, the bright, red discs next to items not yet read are quite helpful and may afford a sufficient alternative.

Sorry about all the commentary, but I wanted to change "red" to "read" and couldn't find an edit button. So I tried to delete the first post but couldn't do that, either. Only then did I read in FAQ that you cannot edit a post if someone has replied. But I still didn't see an edit button. Maybe I'm getting too old for this. :(

Search the files in the app directories for the string "times in total" and post several lines of the file around where it occurs.
It would be easy to take that out, but I like being able to see how many times someone edits their post. Keeps ya honest. Maybe there should be a poll.

Nah, get rid of it. There's reason to make corrections, it's not about dishonesty.

Of course there are reasons to make corrections. I'm not advocating taking away the ability of posters to make corrections.

Not worth the time in my opinion.

I actually think it's a valuable feature. It is really freaking confusing when people edit, and re-edit, and re-edit, and re-edit their posts. I would like to know whether it really has been different the last 15 times I scrolled by.

I know you would. I wouldn't. I like it. What's wrong with it?

I doubt many give a shit about edit counts.

While I'm still trying to get used to the new board look, I need to ask: is there a way to mark the messages as read? It's been asked, but I haven't seen a reply yet. Not sure how to clear off topics that I'm not interested in, unless I click on them all.
