Thoughts on the newest update so far?

Post by Xiaxio » Thu Aug 13, 2015 6:10 am

Excuse me if this is already being discussed but, I figured to help improve the site this topic should be made seeing as though we have had time to adjust to the new design.

So does anyone have any issue's they would like to bring up since the newest update to the forum? Recommendations? Issues? Tip's on things that some might be confused about? (Full prievewer for smilies)

On the old site if you went to your posts it would go right to the post ,but now it goes to the thread you posted in not the post can be a bit annoying looking through pages of posts to find yours
Over all the new site is great especially for mobile users 10 out of 10 from me

I like it...

But on mobile how do you know if new people have posted on a thread?

On the old site it would say who last posted, but only says the original thread starter now

Agree, that is one of a couple of minor issues with the new mobile site which is all rather annoying and irritating, otherwise it's a big improvement for mobile users

Like it in general but it's a shame to not see people's details- ie post count, date joined, location etc.

Easier to use on an iPad now than a pc. Everything takes up too much space on a pc now. Also doesn't use the full width which is another reason so much space is used (vertical space)

It's on mobile version where you can only see stats if you actively look for them

Oh I see, thanks. Yes. If you tap the forum user's name then you get their profile. I guess its down to the amount of screen available.
