If we're going to go all Facebook about it I'm going to have to start posting pictures of all my meals and driving around the block with Map My Run switched on so I can show you all how fit I am and what a wonderful life I lead. I liked the old skin. I didn't feel I had to impress anybody with that one. This is why I'm not on Facebook and have no idea what you're talking about. / I'm finding the whole thing both visually awkward (the text size and location on the page does not make for easy reading, neither does the sheer volume of empty white space) and organisationally awkward as two of the three main areas I used to browse the forum from were new topics (gone) and my content (gone).

Pooch Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The star/circle next to the thread title does indeed take me to my last position, so a thousand thanks to those who advised me about that. Text size is slightly bigger than before on my iPad (and I can now zoom in), but it's smaller on my Android phone (even though I already use the setting in Chrome for much larger text). Other than that, just need the speed to be back to the same level as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-percent Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Did I mention that it is slow? it's also,in danger of dragging folk down the proverbial rabbit hole as whenever a member replies to a post, it is flagged for you. Might stop posters from sampling the wider picture. did I mention that it is incredibly slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting it probably looks okay on a tablet or other relatively small screened device but on anything with a reasonably sized widescreen the amount of bright white space is, I agree, uncomfortable; as is the fact that the text now stretches so far from one side of the screen to the other that it's awkward to read.

Looking at it on tab!et now, looks OK. On PC earlier, bloody awful. I guess most users are on tabs now, hence the change. Perhaps they stopped supporting the desktop version, cheaper..

Neverwhere Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Is anyone else momentarily thinking that every post that anyone replies to is by 7 Year Itch / 8 Year Itch / 25 year mortgage 8itch / 24 year mortgage 8itch because they all start with numbers now?

OnionTerror Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I don't know if its just me, but I'm using Chrome. Even when I put in the same same username and password as I did before the change, it doesn't like my "display name". I change my password to the existing password, and it logs me in. After a while, it logs me out, and I have to go round the rigmarole all over again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugsbody Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Is there still a way to "view new content" which will just show all thread titles which have been posted on since one last visited? That was the way I read the old forum. There is now too much content to scroll through to pick out the interesting threads, as it lists all individual posts as new activity.

If you go to the activity tab, top left, it kinda does something like, but not quite the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
