1. Being able to change your name freely has been disabled (Lame)
I never even noticed but I can honestly say I'm glad that changed. It was very annoying seeing numerous unknown names pop up frequently and trying to figure out who the hell these people were.
2. Having to use a special size gif as your avatar (What happened to having 300x300 gifs?)
I don't feel like looking for the exact post but AJ changed this when the new layout rolled out because the pictures were causing the site to slow down for some members.
3. The lack of google chrome support using Smiley's
It never used to be derpy but I am surprised that issue hasn't been fixed yet. It doesn't bother me too much since typing them out isn't hard to do and I don't even use Chrome.
Its like the things we use to be able to do to make this community unique and special is now fading slowly... it sucks. :|
You should look at the bigger picture of why this place is special and not judge solely based on the features on this forum. :
