I might use it for Rants, although I have to say the offers not sinking on LET (By happy accident) was not really a bad thing as it turned out.
Also I have set this one up whereby hosts can essentially moderate/sink/unsink/close their own offer threads.

Feel free to promote me, but dont expect anything of it. Would only use it to fish out the fishy providers, and as far as I can tell, they havent jumped from lowendbox yet. (although @lebfeed on LET can be considered a jump I suppose).
The above is not meant in any way shape or form to force any action. I'd be more than happy to remain a normal user for the next 5 or so years. We can re-negotiate after that.
@teamacc I think I will be doing things a bit more efficient than just a general mod role (if this place lives long enough for it to matter).
Back in the 'good ole days' forums had mod roles and it worked really well, I wont get in to the deep ins and outs but for example you would be assigned a scam hunter role, someone else may have a new member approval role, someone else a new host role etc etc, general mods are then few and far between and just general community managers, each role having its own 'weight' and rights, I find that works better or you end up with 10 mods with no specific purpose or direction and generally that means you have 2 actual mods and 5 people that just read members PM's and 3 that never log in.

I can't really post an image based on an url using mobile. There seems to not exist an "upload/submit" button.
Had a quick look, it looks like the close / submit buttons are missing in the Flyout component of the Keystone theme alltogether. The reason behind this seems to be that the dialog should automagically close as soon as you paste a link in there. Unfortunately this doesn't work on Chrome for Android.

To my opinion that'd be a shameless ripoff. To add on that, this theme looks a lot more modern than the one from LET. I'd rather fix a few bugs than copy/paste the layout from LET and that is assuming it would even work since LET is on a very old version of Vanilla and a lot has changed since then, rendering plugins and themes unusable.

I agree. Vanilla has come a long way and we should be working with updated stuff that is likely to function better. Also, I like this modern and clean feel a whole lot more.
Not sure if has been mentioned but could the "new" flags on posts be brighter/bolder/etc? Maybe even make the text colour as the background and font colour white? Like on LET they're bright yellow. Doesn't need to be that extreme just something that's a bit more obvious when you glance down the list of topics?

It's not really a bug per se (you could say it's a feature) but the theme scales back to mobile view when using my iPad in portrait mode. That's not a good fit for a screen that size. Furthermore navigation in this mobile view is a bit cumbersome. Breaks nothing, so I don't expect any fixes soon. Just for the backlog.
That is in the footer BTW, left side. Something you added recently I guess?
I have had a look, added to the long term fix list, the sub community is a new feature of vanilla and it looks like they have put references in regardless of you having it enabled or not which is the problem so I will consider that a longer term bug or will likely be fixed in future minor vanilla release.

Because LET uses an old version of vanilla that has gaping security holes patched up by their annoying cloudflare WAF config, they basically still use Windows 2000
