There is no look...furthest thing from my mind at the moment.
Opps
I found the food forum after searching. IMO it needs it's own top level.

I'd argue that everything could go in a single forum
Use of prefixes would make it easier to get to.Single forum also means everything would be visible to all, as many don't post in the other forums or know the exists.

Boy, you fooled me considering the entire site looks different.
Give it time, there are many moving parts involved in an upgrade.
The core code is in place now, then the look/feel will be adjusted.
And honestly, it's always a work in progress.
I feel you on that. That would have been a much better answer to give than Terry's "there is no look" comment as if I'm going insane.

I suspect he was saying it's somewhat of a generic UI at the moment, as in there is no look currently.
Some of the features are going to be pretty cool.
Check out URL Unfurling - simply enter the URL and it gives you a preview. In the example below, I entered
rolltide.com

Want to Bookmark a post for future reference within the app for easy reference later vs having it keep it as a bookmark within your browser?
- Click the Bookmark icon on the post you want to bookmark. It will get highlighted when selecting
2. Once selected, it will highlight yellow and this panel will pop-up.
3. You can access the Bookmark by clicking your profile name in the header and then this panel will pop-up.
4. Click Bookmarks to see what you have bookmarked.

There is no look because the style (which is what you're referring to here, Josh) hasn't been built yet...been working on the interface all day today; the ambiance of the site isn't "next on the list."

I get that now but the way you worded just came off like you were being sarcastic.

When have you even known me to display such behavior?

@BamaBoyJosh on a serious note/update.
I may have put a half of a dozen rgb codes in yesterday and left this, at that. They aren't even the right ones--still have to see what those are again.
A little quirk came up with fa forcing me to go in a different direction with the UI. While I'm sure you couldn't care less, there are still a half of a dozen or more things I both need/want to get into before addressing cleaning up the styling. It will be limited to the CSS aspects, not the design or functionality. That's set but will be expanded.
As an aside...
I don't mind the criticism, comments, and suggestions. I was curt when answering you and @RollllTide! ... I can see how it read that way. It as simple as my reading your post while thinking about how something was working. Mea culpa, ya know?
This is the sixth platform, third one with Xenforo we've used for rtb. It's like Matt said,
...along with a learning experience as well.
Ah, led me to a rant of sorts...

Interjecting something here real quickly in a bit of a story form.
To those who've been on message forums like this, and linked articles, etc. over the years, you've probably typed your own "coding" to insert the link.
We've always had those that just pasted links. One of the improvements Xenforo 2.2.X brought was the ability to read the link and transpose it to the title of the article itself. XF 2.1X brings URL Unfurling which Matt has pointed to a few times.
Now, you're recall having to code links, pictures, ...
I know you guys are familiar with BBCode to render bold, italics, etc...but that's just as easily found in the 'kitchen sink.' (editor tool bar for reply's)
Now, you may want to familiarize yourself with Markdown. Here's a cheat sheet you can look over on Github. I know developers are familiar with it. Like BBCode has been and will continue to be, Markdown is a simple and easy-to-type formatting language that allows you to more easily format plain text into HTML.
Personally, my hands seldom leave the keyboard to use a mouse. I do work on a laptop 95% of the time. Here, I rarely used the built-in mouse because I'm so accustomed to using the BBcode. On mobile devices you'll find Markdown easier...at least that's my opinion.
It's being integrated now as well ...
@rick4bama continuing the conversations we've had on emojis ... an example of what I'm talking about fits here as well.
Those prefixes are going to pull up different emojis. In this case the option of thumb up, thumb down, and a smiling face. There are 30 of those built in now--same you've seen for the last few weeks, just in a different format.
Just like the cheat cheat linked earlier to Markdown there are two options I'm looking at with the emoji's. They'll work very similiar to each other. If you would like to familiarize yourself with both ...
