What exactly do you not like? This isn't helpful.

I like the old layout better, but it's fine. Just have to get used to it.

Once I went back to change all the terrible settings it defaulted to it was tolerable. I can't stand dark mode. Also, earlier when I posted stuff was taking forever to load. That seems to have been temporary, maybe a network issue. Works fine now.

I don't hate it. The new font is different, but it's ok. Ain't worth getting worked up about. If it makes life easier on imma that's good.

Carry on.

Edit: testing this too. I just noticed that the tags saying burnt ends are gone. Good. I would rather be incognito in my questionable spending habits.

More font talk about thread titles on the forum pages:

There's not much difference between the bold text of unread threads, and the regular font of read threads.

What font should we use?

I dont know, maybe make the unread font bold and plus 1 size?

I dont know how realistic that is. I could also try putting on my glasses.

#313

I'm able to see reputation numbers now (chrome desktop browser). I haven't seen that since switching to dark mode a few years ago.

Rimbo is populars!

You might try tweaking the font settings in your browser settings.

Bad news. I’m getting the Twitter embeds again. And page occasionally gets redirected to a full page ad, either McAfee or Trojan

No idea why you would get that. That's not even how embeds work anymore.

I saw the popover ad I'll figure that out with the ad people Monday.

This happened to me a lot on the site before the upgrade when using safari. I did PM @immamac about it but I was pretty poor in communicating what exactly was happening, so he was right to brush it off.

Randomly it stopped happening, but since the upgrade it is happening again.

For me, it’s only on my phone, not on my iPad.

This is a bone stock implementation of the embeds - I can't imagine that they have released this as a bug in the wild and done 14 patches and not addressed it. I'll open a ticket and see if I can't get them to address it.

When exactly is this happening? randomly or if a page is stale in the background?

For me it happens when I come back to the website after having closed my phone for a bit.

I’ll open the site again and if I was mid thread when I closed my phone and that thread had an embedded tweet in there somewhere, that’s when I notice it.

I still can't post on desktop chrome from windows 11, the theme doesn't look like it does on mobile, and none of the banners or clickables on the page respond. Surly is whitelisted in all of my js blocking stack and I've done a hard cache refresh a couple times and it seems stuck on some old CSS style or something.

I can't view notifications, or open the reply widget in a thread

Can you open developer options with f12 and see if the js console has errors in it?

I'll mess with this today and see of I can't make it more obvious.

I don't know if you tried something already, but it looks much better on my laptop. On my phone the font difference seemed a bit less noticeable last night.

K heard.

Not sure if this was worked out yet. Can that bottom bar be removed?

#335

Shadow operative had posted how to remove it previously. It’s never been there for me - removing was first thing I did after a fresh login.

#337

I can remove it for everyone, but I think it's pretty useful if you get a lot of notifications, DMs etc.

So I don’t know how to link apparently. Used to be a link to the post itself you could use to refresh/link to a specific post number.

i must be an old now…will have to adjust to the new stuff.

that menu at the bottom just burns screen real estate and for me, never use it.

similar at the top with the sub forum and other nav links - have to scroll a bit to see content now.

I'm trying to get that restored - it's one of the quality of life things I really didn't wanna lose, but there's no good way to implement in the new software.

let me see what I can do about adding back in the option to move the nav bar to the top. It looks stupid on mobile when you do it as it's not on it's own bar anymore like the old site and it collides with the centered text logo.

#340

Sounds good. It’s a trade off with the new software, so I get it. Good luck🤣

#341

More font talk: It feels like line spacing is set a bit high. Easier to see in the Wordle thread between the lines of blocks.

A toggle button like before on the home page for Fluid on/off would be great. Pain having to go into settings every time.

most people either browse fluid or not. If you don't wanna do it "every time" you can also click on the forum section title and have a mini fluid view of just "sports" or just "entertainment" or just "other"

#349

I’m getting the swipe/back button loop about 90% of the time since the upgrade. It also takes a while to load the page after clicking on a topic. Safari on iPhone.

#350

@immamac here's a rolling ss of a page. some links come through clearly, others (like the x links at the beginning do not show up correctly). if there is other info I can compile for you, let me know and I'll give it a try
