I'm curious if there are any upgrades coming in the near

As a D-Newbie, I find myself combing these forums regularly to
try and get up to speed on what's going on, but there are
several things making it difficult.
-I have a valid email address in the box up there^, but I
don't receive notifications when people respond to my posts
here.
-The way quotes are displayed is tough on the eyes. Rather
than having the quotes grayed out and crowded by angle
brackets, I would prefer something like stackoverflow where
the text was black, but on a gray background, possibly with
black outlines for nested quotes.
-Looking at code here is brutal. Lines wrap way too short, no
syntax highlighting. https://highlightjs.org/ supports syntax
highlighting for the D language and is very easy to implement.
And a scrollable area for code would be nice. I suppose code
sections could be signalled by leading a line with 4 spaces
like SO, or with [code] tags.
-editing and delete posts after posting would be nice, but I
assume this would be quite a bit more difficult than the above
suggestions.
If you click on the "About this forum" link on the bottom of
the page, it takes you to a page with more info. You can find
the github repo for this forum software linked from there and
see all the updates to the forum source:
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed/commits/master
You can submit your issues there or even pulls to fix them.
As for your last request to edit and delete posts, since this
forum is a frontend for an NNTP server, as Tobias said, which
are then sent to a mailing list also, it's not possible to edit
them once they've been posted. Not sure about deletion by
users on NNTP, certainly not on the mailing list.
Awesome, Thanks. I'll check it out. Even black on gray comments
alone would go a long way for readability.
