The orange "New Thread" and "Reply" buttons are obnoxious.

"Submit Reply" seems to be larger than "Preview Post."

What exactly does the "Breaking News" button do?

New buttons look nice on desktop, but can not say the same for the mobile version. Previous design was more compact, nice on devices with smaller screens.
The buttons had their resolution increased, and mobile buttons were changed from icons to more explicit descriptions of their functions for users less familiar.

Still a problem.....and also if I try the quote and enter only one or two characters as a further experiment.

It allows you suggest the post/thread for a news item.

You might want to explain that in the announcement or some such, because to me, "Breaking News" would logically take me to trending topics, or a consolidator of aviation-related news, etc.

There is an issue with displaying the correct post after a reply:

I have the settings set to display the last message first, but after a reply, it reverts to a different post altogether, and not the correct order.
Clicking on FIRST will correct this, but this is an additional step not previously required.

I agree it's confusing, we'll try to come up with a better button name.

So it'll just be a random post you get after submitting your reply? I'll change my settings and test it out.

I opened a tech ticket, it'll just take a moment. You had this functionality before, to submit a post that was just a quote of someone else? Was this useful?

Testing Reply with "Newest First" settings.

RESULT: Takes me to the last page. Will open a tech ticket.

It might revert to the LAST page, as opposed to the first page....not 100% sure now. But definitely wrong.

Just checked it with THIS thread; yes, it erroneously reverts to LAST page (oldest), which, with my settings would be wrong.

In Chrome (Version 76.0.3809.132) I now no longer can reply nor edit.
I am typing this in Safari right now. But I really want and need to use Chrome.

When I hit reply, it will let me type in a title, but not a reply.

When I attempt to edit one of my posts, it brings up a screen that does not allow any editing, typing, etc.
