Actually looks like it just went above threshold, as edit button appeared...
My suggestion is to maybe stop blocking CloudFlare WARP 1.1.1.1
Personally, I like WARP and I use it daily, but Vogons blocks traffic through WARP. What gives?
1. Someone pointed out that ls were indistinguishable from Is here - not great for a technical forum. I added the following filter to block fonts using uBlock origin which improves things:
https://www.vogons.org/styles/vogons199x/theme/fonts/
2. I also keep getting logged out
3. Plz add "reactions" or at least "thumbs up" for posts. Unless everyone enjoys scrolling through all the pages of "thanks" or "me too" replies that could've been a reaction instead of an entire reply. VCF forum has implemented it and so far nobody has gotten hurt. Also, in technical forums, "likes" are actually a decent measure of respect, unlike "number of posts" where those can hold zero value.

4. Regarding HTTP (non-HTTPS) for old school browsers - Unfortunately turning off HTTPS for the forum will lead to search engines and browsers marking the site as "non-secure" even though there's no real "secure" data. Hackaday had an additional non-HTTPS version of their site - however I don't see much point for a forum, especially since there's proxies and other workarounds available now.

I can answer that one. Many people have asked for this, and it is never going to happen. IIRC, "thanks" or "me too" replies are also eligible for mod deletion.
The point of it isn't that people will "get hurt" so much as that reaction buttons are a step towards social media that those with decision making power on the Vogons forum (ei, not me) do not wish to take.
If you go back through this thread, you can find any number of people making this "suggestion" and read mod responses.
