    I've only tried on my phone, but it'll take some time to get used to it I think!!!

    Just did a little research and you're not the first person to try that on these boards. It looks like it might be possible if I make some changes. If not, maybe with their next upgrade. I'll continue to look further into it.

    I think the loading speed is really great. The interface is different, but has some real pluses.

    Is there a "combined" choice that I am missing?

    Click on your name in the upper right and choose "Avatar" and you can upload a photo.

    No, you're not missing it. However, you can get something very similar by clicking on the "New Posts" link at the top. That'll show all the posts you haven't read across all sections (I think).

    I love the "(I think)"
    Getting the hang of it. It is a lot like a goat forum I frequent. And it does go faster even with my old computer and cheap Wifi.

    Once you get used to it, you'll love it! Having a "like" button was so addicting for me, it was hard functioning without one on LP!

    World Events is a far too scary place for me normally.

    LOL!

    How does the edit function work? Does it "expire," i.e. you can edit soon after you post, but not long after, as I've seen on other sites?

    You can edit your post within 10 minutes of making it. After that, you're stuck with it! :)

    I feel a bit overwhelmed sifting through a sea of visual stimuli in search of the text now, but it's not an impossible task.

    Such is life on the spectrum.
