New Forum loads very slowly

can you show me a sample? Not sure what you mean sorry!

He meant the shortcut to see your likes and quotes on the main page is no longer to be found.

You need to tap on the envelope icon to get that menu.

I really really like it... specially the dark mode. One little thing I've noticed is that my time settings are off. I double checked my time settings, which were fine.

Another little suggestion that I was going to suggest was that the reply button could be a little lighter so it shows up better. However, it seems brighter today so I'm thinking you beat me to it!

It is cleaner now, faster and easier to use, nice update

The unread color was changed on the dark theme. It is much easier to read now.

Also, the color of the thread count boxes changes colors to indicate threads with unread messages. Very easy to distinguish now.

Is there a multi-quote icon somewhere I can't see?? Other than that....I guess it'll take some getting use to. Feels a little dumbed down but clean looking I suppose.

Good Feedback!

I think this may be a bug . . .
OR, I don't understand what the numbers mean.

I think the number in the box is the number of messages in a thread, but . . . the unread message count is higher than the messages in the thread.

I BELIEVE its the number of replies to the thread although whats weird is that thread has 6 replies and 9 unread posts. HOWEVER what might have happened there is a moderator merge and the forum is counting more than 1 first post, OR its a glitch. BUT that big number is the number of replies it should be 1 less than the total number of posts in the thread. So the posts you see with 0 are unanswered and as a good Mobile Nations net citizen those are posts you might want to try to answer IF you can!


EDIT: Ok I figured it out (I used mod powers for this) And maybe the forum should not show you that there are/were 9 unread posts, 2 of the unread posts were actually deleted posts that a member himself had deleted (NOT one of our mods, so no rants please!) There are 7 posts total 1 OP (or Original Post, or First Post), and 6 replies. Yes this may be a bug!

I'm going to take back what I said about it feeling dumbed down. I like it now!

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

The count of unread messages in a thread:
A slightly bigger font size would be nice.
A slightly darker red would be good as the current color glows so much against the dark background that it is not readable.

I like the new pink(?) message count color. Much easier to read.
Any chance we can get all the bright reds (user names) slightly toned down, too?

Nice sleuth work pkcable. I appreciate the in depth explanation.

Also a big congrats to the team working on this. I am constantly seeing things change that address comments made here.

Is this a temporary concession while the site is finalised, because you would surely be kicking yourselves in the foot by giving an opt out of ads in 1 click.

It's been a feature for a long time

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

Much easier to find specific topic. Yes I like the new design thank you

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

Hey everyone!

I've tried out the new layout and I like what I see so far. I been testing the new forum on my mobile device. I have a comment about the display.

Here is a screen capture when I view a forum on my OnePlus 3 using Chrome:


Before, and maybe this was discussed in a earlier post, I used to see a bigger profile picture/picture holder that would be hidden behind the user's post. Now, I see a tiny picture and hard to see.

My suggestion for viewing the new forums on a cell phone:


Make the profile pick a tad bigger but place it right next to the name of the one posting/replying to a post (identified with a black circle) and remove the top left triangle. Make it all in one square.

I just checked the forums on my laptop and the look of the poster's profile pick post in form of a chat bubble looks good.
