hi Al,
For the FONTS selection, look at the a/a symbol just to the right of the A/A symbols on the Menu bar on the posting a reply box.
Select the Font first before you type or select all the text and the use a/a

But it looks like not all is done yet! As an example, please look at this attachment which isn't working. The attachment is from this post. Anyway, some of the attachments are accessible now.
In the past, clicking on an attachment link opened it a new tab. But now it opens up in the same window which, in my opinion, isn't good.
Moreover, before this update, it was possible to attach up to three attachments at a time. I don't think it's possible now, is it?
Now I have up to three separate links to a single thread "A big software update is on its way!" appearing under Your Content section. I believe it's because I have posted in this thread thrice. In the past it wasn't so. It doesn't look neat and tidy. It means that if I have fifty posts in a thread then I will get fifty separate links under Your Content for those posts.
Please don't mind me. I understand that people are mostly adverse to new changes at first. Here, I'm not trying to criticize the new interface but rather I'm trying to convey that many of those features were really nice and really defined ETO. Thank you.
You are a Good person and a thinker too. I bet, you think twice before you attempt anything.... before you move a wire somewhere in your house you think about stuff. Me too.
You really don't want to make "Extra Work" for yourself. I hate to waste energy and time by being stupid.

The specified attachments are cleaned up and fixed. Any others you find keep letting me know because for every different url format i have to run a new regex for them.

This is as designed. It will not list the thread because it's not classed as yours, only the individual posts are.. There is a feature that may work better for you, the displays all threads that you are watching.

The old version included the text of new messages in email notifications, which was quite handy. Now it doesn't. Can we have it back please? Also, still no albums
ETO has just gone through the human equivalent of a Heart operation. So much going on and all has kept beating...
Site did not crash. Bugs sure. But honest and reliable ETO is almost the way it always was.
Hats off to all involved. And thank you EM for the move to XenForo.....I received an E Mail from a site I used to visit circa 2007. A V Bulletin site. They sent me a message saying their integrity has been compromised and urgently requested I change my password...some stuff has happened with V Bulletin lately....
Something about hackers and all. Here is the site and link to the problems: **broken link removed**
Site is looking excellent..as good or better than the old ETO.
Stuck in a rut me is still confused though....
I need to change my Meds or just grab another...beer.
I suffer from Dunning/Kruger from time to time. Not permanent stupidity..just a momentary lapse of reason.
The omega button will pop-out the symbols that we used to have. I unfortunately havent figured out how to complete it yet. Not sure what you mean by latex reference menu, do you mean the latex editor?
Short is defined as easier to implement and long is considered longer term and then there is the wish list.
It seems like this stuff is second nature to you. Is it your day job too?
So, for the wish list is "reason for editing and edited by. I realize that they might have to wait until the "moderation team" fix is in place, so it has a prerequisite and for the most part isn't important.
