That is the very happy emoji.
You can change that by going into your user preferences and changing the board style to matrix games-wide. Then the board display will fit the length the whole page as long as you are signed in.rockmedic109 wrote: Sun Feb 27, 2022 10:12 pm There seems to be a whole lot of space on the sides.

Attachment size limits? Attachment types? Embedded links? the Link button itself? Page numbers? No green button? Are you kidding me? Was there ANY testing? Complete and total clown show.
We did our best to advise everyone that migrating some of the data (such as the PM's) would take a little longer, because we've moved many generations of software and that's always a difficult export/import process.Post by Edmon » Mon Feb 21, 2022 7:48 am
As many of you are already aware, we have been working hard these past few months on upgrading the Matrix forums to new and improved forum software.
This software is now ready to be made live and we will be switching to the new software on the 22nd of February (tomorrow) at 16:00 GMT.
The upgrade itself will require approximately 2 hours of downtime, with the forums themselves being unavailable until the upgrade has been completed.
You may notice that your private messages are missing when we switch over - do not worry. We will be importing these to the new forum software once the new forums have been made live. It may take us a little bit of time to transfer them over, so please bare with us while migrate the data.
If you have any questions or comments, please drop them here.
We hope everyone is looking forward to the improvements that come with more modern forums.

....GPWhen something as obvious as a "link button" simply doesn't work, that's not something which "takes time". It's a complete failure of basic functionality. As for PM experience, I led the team which migrated a legacy, home-built accounting system at Raytheon (you may have heard of them) over to SAP. We tested, tested, tested, and then tested again. And when we finally flipped the switch? Everything worked. This isn't even 1/1000th as complex, and it's a goat rope.Edmon wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 11:02 am

I moved a company from Notes to Office365 and it took months to move some of the more complex things.
As a project manager you must understand that sometimes your users will just attack you even when you've done your very best to advise them that some things will take a little more time.

Both images and links and the related buttons are working.
The only thing that is no longer working is the /[image] tags. These tags are legacy and is no longer supported. It has been switched to [url]/[img] now, which is the modern standard.
