There are 2 minor issues that I've seen:
1. Widget headers scrolling (with plot scroll enabled) is fixed on home, but they still scroll in hubs (have fixed it by reducing font size slightly in includeshub.xml).
2. On Bingie episodes view the white frame that selects the episode appears correctly when I press right from the season to episodes, but then disappears as soon as I scroll up or down through the episodes (have tried enabling  disabling fixed frame but makes no difference).

Any help on issue 2 would be appreciated.

Do we really need to quote large posts and add only 1 or 2 single lines as a reaction?
Maybe I'm getting old, but a but more clever reaction would be appreciated.

There is the banned addons (wiki) section in our Wiki, which is by no means a definitive list. But I'm sure you'll get the idea.
Anything that is remotely illegal in terms of getting online videos, as films/tvseries/sports/etc, or music, for which you normally should pay a fee of some sorts, is off-limits here.

One slight issue with TV Shows on main menu widgets - how do I disable the TVDB rating?

I've just learned this myself. If you highlight some text of the person you want to reply to, a new reply option appears.  Hit the new reply option (make sure it's not the normal reply option) and it will quote just the highlighted text.

Nice feature!

Both issues fixed, thanks a lot!
