This option was originally added in issue #1747. But only ~350 users
ever disabled autocomplete, only ~120 of these were seen in the last
year, and only 9 new users who signed up in the last year disabled it.
Users wishing to disable autocomplete can use this CSS:
.ui-autocomplete { display: none !important: }
or this Javascript:
$("[data-autocomplete]").autocomplete("disable");
Remove the enable_post_navigation option. This option was originally
added to disable the next/prev post navbar beneath posts. It was later
repurposed to disable keyboard shortcuts.
Users who don't want keyboard shortcuts are advised to not press random
buttons on the keyboard like a caveman.
Only ~1200 users disabled this option and only ~600 were seen in the
last year.
Remove the enable_sequential_post_navigation option. This option was
used to disable the next/previous post navbar below posts.
This option was originally added in issue #674 because of people
complaining about the navbar when it was originally added. Also there
were complaints about URLs being uglier because of search params in the
URL (e.g. /posts/1234?q=touhou). There were also various minor bugs with
it at the time, such as keyboard shortcuts not working correctly, or the
page not remembering your search after a tag edit.
These complaints are irrelevant nowadays because a) people are used to
the navbar by now (and more often complain about it *not* being there
for order:score searches), b) post URLs always contain the search now,
this option hasn't disabled that for years, and c) the initial bugs with
it were fixed years ago.
Only ~1000 users disabled this option and only ~600 were seen in the last year.
Users still wishing to hide the search navbar can use custom CSS instead.
Include the "q" URL param (as in `/posts/1234?q=<search>`) on thumbnails
for all users. Previously it was only for logged in users. This lets the
next/previous post navbar beneath posts be used by logged out users.
