Yeah it still might not show on some screens depending on how many pixels they are. Most likely just potato $50 android burners.

 

[njdevils1982]

can't type messages on computer anymore. (no cursor or window is showing up)

just great

...this was posted on a phone

 

[Koivu11]

Was the amount of posts per page reduced?

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Yay for stats and rectangle profile pics being back!

That functionality depends on add ons so probably

 

[12ozPapa]

This is absolutely horrendous. Hoping this gets tweaked to looking better. Just totally annoying to browse now

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Added pages to top on mobile on the temp theme.

I noticed this! I feel like i haven't been ad block bombed today either.

Oh hey the avatars are square(-ish) again, thank god.

 

[Agent37]

Just here with my popcorn to watch the fireworks.

That being said with a web change like this glitches and flaws are to be expected and for it to be a few days to a couple weeks to smooth out, especially when metaphorically rebuilding a plane while it’s still flying in the air. It is so easy for us to cry and complain from our armchairs. And disliking change is very natural.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

What's all this change people are talkin bout!?!?

I see nothing but progress....

speak for yourself lol

 

[DancingPanther]

Anyone wanna guinea pig the new style that's work in progress?

Still looking for testers? I'm in

I like it. Very clean. Tho I've been a night-mode Chad for years now so it's a natural transition.

My one suggestion/request:

This is displayed at the bottom of every page now. Not sure if it's by design or not or if it will stay long term. Years ago a thread would show the number of users/visitors currently viewing the page. I'd like that to come back. Imo it was a nice feature, it gives an idea of how popular/active the topic is and encourages posting as you can see you're not talking into the void. People will be encouraged to add to the conversation if they see its an active one.

Never understood why it disappeared in the first place

Its not working properly. One of the many active things on threads not working.

We are back to the default while styles get rebuilt.

 

[tarheelhockey]

People who weren’t here on Thursday are like people who never had to use dial-up internet.

It's a sponsor only feature, in addition to it not working as @Zirakzigil said.

People paying real money to support the forum probably don't need that level of incentive to post and create content. Its a wasted benefit. You want JoeShmo890 posting non-stop because he can see (in real time) that he has 'eyes' on his incoherent blabbing. Clicks, clicks, clicks.

There's no greater 'joy' to a shit-poster as knowing there's someone sitting there reading it. It's an art-form.

You just described exactly why it's a sponsor feature.

I just discovered this thread and see that it's filled with whiny, entitled people who complain about everything and don't appreciate the poor admins.

I've found my people.

I’ve been on this forum on and off for 14 years. This is the worst look it’s ever had. The UI/UX on mobile is terrible.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Not sure if the following has been addressed elsewhere in this thread, but figure I'll add my two cents.

- Still no dark mode on mobile
- Can the 'members online' and 'latest posts' be removed from the bottom of the page on mobile? I try to scroll to the bottom of the thread posts and end up having to scroll back because of those useless sections.
- Mobile NAV is also still scrambled. Takes forever to navigate to different forum sections.
