Workaround for the "My Posts" thing for now: I created a bookmark for the Search by thread for my username, which is essentially what the quick link did anyways.

If there was a way to separate the posts a little more, they blend together pretty serious on my end. Nothing huge, but that would be my suggestion.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Your PC has probably cached the old IP address, or it's pulling a cached page.  If you're getting that, you're hitting the old server.

I've asked for there to be more visual contrast at the break between posts.  Is that kind of what you're looking for?

That was my main problem as well (besides kudo withdrawal), but somehow I am getting used to it. I guess a not-so-dark, but darker division would still be good.

When going to a user's profile page, you used to see if and how many name changes they have had and wha they were. I did that to confirm Jörmungandr was rasetsu, but I don't see that button. Low priority, but it was helpful.

Having a little trouble in page scans with differentiating quotes (e.g. Minimalist wrote: ) and the change of poster headers.  Can I change this?

I miss the repetition of the thread title in each post.  I thought that helped maintain continuity as threads started to drift and often made direct replies to the OP look more in context.  I also keep a file of thread locations of interest with their titles and URLs.  I think I have to go to the top of the page to get this now.

No big things, just feedback.
Actually, I'm not even sure that any of this has changed but that I'm now looking more carefully.

Noted.
