So far I have had a go on the website on desktop, ipad and mobile phone. With desktop and ipad I am very happy, but for the mobile phone it feels like a step back as I preferred the layout of the older version that made much better use of the small screen real estate.

Mobile version is a car crash. Desktop is pretty much bang on.

It does look quite good, the "Like" button should save people spamming threads just to agree with a comment and I like the refresh of the "gangsta" avatars, too.

Yep. Many times I just want to say +1 or just at a comment. I have always been surprised by my post count. I think a good chunk of those are either such posts or one liners.

The like button will hopefully help me lower my post count average going forward to look like a more balanced and healthy individual. Maybe not though, some of that is probably intrinsic issues unfortunately

 

[something daft already!!]

I think it pays to have a "New Posts" shortcut pinned to my browser as it seems to vanish in some areas.

Sorry Feek, the novelty of the green has worn off. I am now an advocate of an alternative to suspensions for minor infractions - enforce Hulk mode on them. Started to make me feel

I see the Like button as less healthy. It's the typical social media thing of chasing reward, never really felt it with replies, but feel it from likes already.

Use the bottom left theme picker.

For those nostalgic with green screens.

This colour reminds me when some of the shades of 30 - 10% grey were failing on the CRT monitors.

Use the Alternate Style button at the footer of the page. Gives you a full list to choose from.

Christ, this is horrific on mobile.

Forum used to mark itself as read after a while. Doesn't seem to do that any more.

I never use the forum on mobile, but thought I'd check out the horror show - unfortunately it looks perfectly fine. S10 Lite + Firefox.

Found my first fault. The like button! Really do we need one? I can see already In this thread how pointlessly it's being used. I'm not sure how much I need to know the thunderpants liked Hillys comments saying he's going to a cl final.

My view is that it should be reviewed in x months and see how it's being used and the general feel.

Chasing likes and the content/posts that come with that is not a good thing imo

Likewise, I found it looks great on iOS Safari, Firefox or DuckDuckGo. *shrug*

Christ, this is horrific on mobile.

Quote appears to have vanished on mobile, I could only use multi quote.

I couldn't see it mentioned in the OP, but I don't have any shortcuts to the last page on multi page threads when browsing from forum level - do you just have to open a thread and then navigate to the the last page? That's a bit annoying if so.

And edit is hidden in a drop down after report.

Can't see a way of navigating multi page threads from the top of the page any more, you have to go to the bottom. Aggravating.

"Last edited: in a moment"
How can I have edited a post (past tense) in a moment (future tense)?

I should have lent you lot one of my QA testers

Yeah, mobile is so far poor tbh.

The word is reply now, not quote. Little misleading but perhaps you missed spotting that?

It hasn't done that since we migrated to Xenforo originally.

 

[Lopéz]

Ok, unnecessary change of naming convention there.

 

[Rainmaker]

The word is reply now, not quote.

You can also still just highlight some text in a post to quote in context, and then reply directly to that.

 

[unwashed potato!]

I think the padding needs sorting on at least mobile view, for posts with little content but it's quoting someone else.

If you view the below post, there's very little padding between that users comment, and the quote that have within the post. Makes it hard to see that users comments as also there's a lot of other content too.

When users post with longer content, or don't quote, the padding above their first line is larger.

Just a question - are we able to choose wiseguy avatars now ? I can’t see it.

Edit. Actually I’m okay with Christopher

Have you read the OP? Guessing not

Have I missed the bit there about join dates? Apologies.
