That's super odd. I have an Android phone and all the icons show great for me. What type of device are you on and which browser are you using on your phone?
It looks like you might be in "BBCODE" mode. Click the little gear / settings icon and see if that toggles you back to the regular editor.
Agreed! The more we can systematize things, the easier it is to maintain stuff! Keeping everything running smoothly across so many sites can be a bit crazy and pretty stressful.
Interesting idea! If we get enough peeps interested, we'd definitely look into it.
Are there existing threads / posts already being made for these kinds of things, but just in other sections?
Just a quick note that I'm SUPER impressed that this thread has been going smoothly and hasn't been anything reported!
It's so very rare that people can discuss these divisive topics without them going south within the 1st page. Heck, I know I even get pretty stirred-up with stuff that's going...
Oh! One thing we are thinking about adding back is the "Random Images" block that we used to have at the top of the forum list. We think this would be fun to add to the homepage.
... but then another part of me thinks it was nice having it at the top of the forum list.
Thoughts?
You may have already noticed this change when you typed in, or went to your bookmark for www.SufficientSelf.com :)
Well, we've been working on this new homepage for a while and we're SUPER excited to launch it!
What started out as a way to accommodate our awesome POW (Picture Of the Week)...
We've got an exciting new system and process for our Picture Of The Week (POW), so we need your submissions!!!
Your Submissions MUST:
Be an image you took & own the rights to
Be a sharp, clean, picture that's at least 800 pixels wide

Thanks all! We're trying to find any consistencies that will help us isolate and fix the problem.
For example, if it's specific browsers? Times of day? Geographic locations, etc.
One situation: I'm trying to map server performance to when peeps are having problems. It would be easy if there...
The issues I've seen and heard reported are more like @flowerbug has mentioned and less like the slow key-typing thing. So, not saying that they are not related, but it might also be unrelated.
We are still trying to figure out what the issues are. Fortunately it seems like they are happening...
Yes, a combination of Sumi's unfortunate health, plus the changes with the upgrade have put this on hold for now.
We're testing a new system and process (including a fun way to display the POW) and hope to have it up in the next week or two!
Thanks for your patience and support!
THE NEW POW...
Thanks for the updates and feedback. There was a spike in server usage earlier today, but besides that things have looked fine.
We're still trying to figure out what could be going on. It's tricky when the issues are so inconsistent!
Thanks!
It's SUPER weird since the sister-sites are all hosted on the same server, same software, etc... so it's been tricky to find the cause.
We'll keep digging!
We're looking into all the things that might be causing the sites to load slowly for people. We've made a few changes that will hopefully help, but since the site remains fast for some, it's been tricky to track down the items that are user-specific vs. site-wide.
If you notice things improving...
Thanks for the great discussion. Please keep posting as much info as possible (device type, browser version, screenshots, etc.)
That is helpful, thank you! Are there any other options or screens to tell you more info about what specifically is the problem?
What is the name of the antivirus app...
