New Forum Layout

I can’t highlight this enough. I was trying to find some kind of tech support forum, but apparently that no longer exists.

So fucking annoying to try to click on one particular tab like 10 times because it disappears in a milisecond.

That being said, this shit is free so if it’s really that big of a deal to anyone we can all pretty much go fuck ourselves.

I was getting it last night, it magically went away on its own though.

Tech Support is in the bottom links on every page. It’s not a forum we really want to feature.

Clear Browsing Data and reload. A new style sheet went out and your browser has the old one cached.

Doesn’t work for me. If I zoom in on the page then the box moves back to the right where it is meant to be, but if I go back to a normal magnification the box reappears…

Fantastic, thanks!

YAY! new “next” buttons.

The biggest issue for me is that the ratio of font sizes between thread titles (in the forum view) and replies (in thread view) are off; looks like thread titles have larger font and/or replies (body text) have smaller font. It’s killing me.

if I enlarge font to read the replies, and then go back to the forum, the thread titles are huge.

And I personally dislike Views first and then Replies; I prefer the old format. This one is throwing me off in terms of thread activity.

Matt,

If you want to add a REALLY meaningful feature:

Give each post a number in the right of the red title bar per reply. Let that number be clickable so a single post can be referenced via URL.

We run Google Chrome and don’t see this.

Are you zoomed at 100%?

Chrome is particularly finicky with cached elements. What I have found I need to do is:

  1. Close all windows

  2. Clear Browsing Data (ad make sure Empty the Cache is selected)

  3. open a new window and go back to the page.

If that still fails, do those steps again, but try quitting the browser after you Clear Browsing Data.

Noted (for new forum application build that is currently happening in the background…)

I dont like the forum pages. Once im in the thread I really like the look/feel of it (especially the big quote button in the bottom middle of the post)

The main pages for each forum are definitely not my favorite. I also get that “Join the Nation” box covering the top posts whenever Im on my phone. Can’t use the site unless I’m on my computer now.

personally i like the new layout

but i’d prefer all the changes to come at once, not a little step by step rollout

hahahaha yeah i was all like “damn this thread ALREADY has 420 replies???”

I’m not a fan of the yellow. But everything else seems fine. I like the wider spaces at the top.

Not even remotely a fan of this. CHANGE IS BAD.

A lot of the changes y’all make to the layout are for the better, this is not one of them.

I like it. Nothing wrong with a wee spring cleaning.

Which phone are you using?

If you hover your mouse over those numbers it’ll tell you what they represent.
