    Some nice ideas there. 
    I’m not a fan of minimizing the user info in the topic view though. The personal touch of clearly seeing who you are interacting with is getting more important these days, not less. If anything, this view should only be triggered if there is not enough space, not in full desktop view. As a typographer, the example screenshot is painful to look at.  3 posts with just one or two lines each that are waaaaaaaay too long for comfortable reading. This was always a problem with a default IPS installations but now it was made worse, not better. If the user info remains to the side, it also improves the readability of the post content.

    Not much space in blocks, so it uses a reduced reaction counter there.

    Don’t get obsessed over things like compact mode 😀
    These new modes are options and you can keep a traditional mode like we have now or experiment with new modes. It’s all just a toggle and you can mix and match to create endless customization possibilities.

    No two sites are the same, which is why we've made it very simple to switch between layout types. More on that very soon.

    Check for template calls in places like Listing template → categoryHeader. 
    It will indeed call a stock template for categoryRow there by default. But you can change that to call your custom template groups. 
    There might be more places like that. In general, you want to make sure that all {template… calls point to your custom templates.

    opentype got a reaction from Mauro Maratta in Gallery : Exif Tags removed when a user modifies the data of an already uploaded photo   
    I tested it and can confirm it. It’s hitting “save” that kills the EXIF data. Doesn’t really matter what is changed or if anything is changed at all. It’s just clicking Edit → Save.

    It never really was. Google just follows the user. If a site offers the most relevant content for a search query, then it’s what the user wants to see, whether it takes 500 milliseconds longer to load or not. Only if different sites have exactly the same ranking otherwise, then maybe your ranking position changes a bit. But in general, search results are not ordered by speed. That would be ridiculous. 
    Optimizations are still useful of course, but there is no reason to obsess about them. There are much more impactful changes to be made on the site itself, e.g. how to name pages/forums/topics, how to structure a menu and so on.

    It’s usually faulty html in one of the blocks. Impossible to say where exactly from just a screenshot. Could be ad code, theming issues,  user-group styling or even individual forum topics with problematic code. 
    I would first try to login as that user to see if you can replicate it. If yes, you can investigate it directly. If not, it might also be a problem on the user’s site. Like ad-blockers interfering with the page and things like that.

    You don’t download Blogs specifically. You download the entire suite which now contains Blogs.

    Yes. If you have 20 articles on the listing page and all use the full-size image, it will load much slower than using thumbnail images of say 600 by 600 pixels.
