I'd definitely want a an option for a lighter background. As you can see I bolded the white type on the black background and you can't tell it's bolded. Many instances just part of the quote is bolded to for emphasis.
As stated above, I am already starting to work on a lighter version of the current theme for users that prefer light over dark to choose from!Maybe try a lighter background similar to the old forum?
The RayRay can't spell thing? Well, number of reasons, will tell you the other in a day or two, but I post because I am a huge Raven fan with a very different view of our direction. Plus posting as a dummy makes for a dramatic revelation when what the dummy says turns out to come true. Its for fun. I am very serious but predicting the future to the surprise of others is very amusing. Though it would be much much better to win playoff games.
The multi quote feature exists here. When in a thread, you can look next to the like button, where you will see a "+ Quote" button. Click that on as many posts as you want, then under the text field at the bottom of the page, you can insert the quotes. Thanks for the feedback about the color as well. I spent quite some time already trying to make everything as visible as possible and I will definitely look into making the purple more visible. Personally, I like the dark background, however, how would you feel about having a separate, lighter theme, that users could also choose from if they prefer lighter colors more?
I will talk to purplepitta who knows a lot more about the older communit(ies) than I do about the other sections you have mentioned, and we will implement those when the best time comes.
If you look at the top of the page in the navigation bar, you will see an "Inbox" tab. There you will be able to send and receive private messages.

Personal messaging and multi quoting are already features hereMilitant a.k.a. MILI is in the building!
And contrary to what others have said, I love this dark background. The white lettering sticks out just fine and is easily readable even though I'm using this lighter color. This is our "new" home so I love the contrast of this one to the "old" one. Something things we can bring over to this one like Personal Messaging, Multi-Quoting and a few of the Forum tabs or Thread topics but let's leave out that stupid "likes" or "dislikes" feature towards others posts.
I want to be a part of helping increase our membership here and to make this a very well respected forum for "THE FLOCK".
GO RAVENS!

on top of that you are actually typing, I always wanted to ask you a question. Why did you always type like that anyways?

May have been easier for him if he just moved the letters on the keyboard.Well it's surprising but not so much. I said on my last post on the old boards, that it's clearly not translation errors or auto text changing words up. First few times I saw "the RayRay writing " honestly I thought the person was driving and typing quickly or had a severely cracked screen on his phone ".
As for the dramatic revelations I'm not sure how often that occurred for you, I guess in a way you could always pretend you predicted correctly since no one could technically analyze things said.

Or that...Or grow up and type properly.
