Yes, it will. The forum upgrade is an important step in that direction.

The cards section went off-line due to issues with the software we were using. It's been gone way too long though. Most of the cards featured beautiful illustrations by the talented @Smig. We plan to bring it back as soon as possible in the near future.

Thank you both for the feedback. Let me see if we can improve this for you.

Yes, that's correct. If it doesn't work as expected, please let me know.

Our forum upgrade was successful. There is still some tweaking to be done over the next few days so please be patient during the adjustment. An overview of many of the new features is in this discussion. You can also give your feedback on our forum upgrade in this discussion.

Now that our forum upgrade is complete, we're moving this discussion here.

Welcome to the new Muppet Central Forum. We announced two weeks ago that major upgrades to the forum were coming. We've been preparing for this upgrade for several months. We hope that you like the results. We believe that the more you use our new forum, the more you'll like it. Must Read: An...

Content bookmarks We've tried to make it super easy to find new content you've not yet read, and re-engage you with content you've already interacted with, however, it's very common to read a post and desire to come back to it later. Now clicking the bookmark icon on any message will instantly...

Alert read marking Going straight to the content from wherever you are on your device is certainly convenient, but given that push notifications essentially represent forum alerts, it would be somewhat inconvenient to have to mark those as read too. Therefore when you now visit content which...

Push Notifications We now have push notifications for your computer or device and they can be managed on your account page. As you would expect with push notifications, you do not necessarily need to be viewing the forum when the notification is received, nor does the browser even need to be...

New Member List The old member list page has now been replaced by an all-new, member statistics system.

Member tooltip Our member card has been replaced with a new member tooltip, which appears on the first hover or click on a member's name. A further click will load the member's full profile page.

The following posts focus on changes to forum function. Alerts in favicon When new alerts or unread conversation messages are available, the site icon (shown in your browser title bar) will have a badge added to it, showing that there are items waiting to be viewed.

Emojis In addition to our beautiful Muppet smilies by @jvcarroll, you can now also insert emojis into your posts directly from the smilie menu. You can also view emoji and smilie suggestions in realtime as you type. Often this can be more convenient than clicking each smilie one-by-one. As...

URL unfurling When a URL is inserted into content and that URL exists on its own line within the content, it will "unfurl" it to a richer preview which includes the page title, metadata logo, description and favicon. Like so...

New media embedding features The BB Code Media system has been significantly enhanced, and now supports embedding Facebook posts, Tweets, Instagram photos and a whole host of others.

Enhanced message editing Rather than opening an overlay, editing messages is now done entirely in-place, with the content of messages replaced by a full-fledged message editor that allows the complete range of editing and posting actions. Speaking of editing, some of you have requested that...

Content Reactions The "Like" button has been expanded to now let you choose from a variety of emoticons. The behavior of the "Like" button isn't significantly different. You can still just click or tap the button to give a like (or remove the selected reaction) but to access other reactions you...

The following posts focus on changes to forum posting. Quick thread Quick Thread is brand new. Above the list of threads on an individual forum page you will find a title entry box. Clicking this box and starting to type a thread title will load a quick message editor, in which you can post...

Site Navigation You'll now see consistent Muppet Central logos in the header, mobile view and in our favicon on your browser. Concerning site navigation, we had to make a difficult decision. Since nearly no devices natively support Adobe Flash and because Adobe has announced that they're...
