I don't post much, but lurk quite a bit... I just wanted to say that I *really* like the new theme/layout.  It's clean, efficient, and *fast* in Chrome on my PC.  It just feels quicker and more stable than the last version.  To me, that's more important than lots of fancy features and graphics, so don't feel like you have to go changing a bunch of things!

 

Oh, I guess just fix the broken images under everyone's avatars. :)

Appreciate that feedback!  We'll get the broken pictures updated soon.  Hadn't noticed that one yet!

I am using Firefox Version 45.0.1.  The notification popups are to the point of extremely annoying.  Everytime I refresh a page, or go to another page, I get a pop up asking if I want to recieve notifications from this page. 

I still get the phishing notifications, but I am assuming that will go away, once you clear yourself from the black lists.

Hmm... Not sure about the notification popups.  You can manage your notification settings in your profile (upper right hand corner to access)

It is the browser notification that is causing the problems.  I don't want them, so since they are turned off, the web site wants to remind me to turn them on each and every page.  Highly annoying.  :)

I like the new layout but could there be a setting to see unread threads as threads rather than each individual post (like the old version or on the app)? Right now it's coming up like a facebook news feed so the page could be filled with new posts from a single thread, rather than seeing the thread title that's been updated.

Maybe I am missing a setting here, but I liked how once you read a thread and then came back after new posts had been made, it automatically took you to the last post read vs. the first post in the thread.

If you click on the dot or star to the left of the thread title it will take you to the newest post.

Old Fart's don't like change as we get pretty set in our ways, but after playing around with the new site and learning some of its nuances, I think it's going to work well.  I especially like the feature where I can mark an entire Forum as read vs. having to open each thread within the Forum and marking it as read.  I also like the link in the bottom right to quickly go to the Next Unread Topic.  All you youngsters ought to adapt pretty quickly if I can. 

Now having said all that, I don't see any Undo icon to remove the bold text I just typed.  Also, I tried to access Emoticons and got nothing.

LIKES AREN'T PUBLIC ANYMORE?!?!

This is the worst timeline. Besides the fact that now I don't know if my posts are being liked by someone yucky like Hova, it no longer serves the main function I used it for. Like often means "I think the same thing and it would be redundant to say so" if someone says something like "That was hilarious." I can just like it instead of also saying that. Or Treesh says RoJo did so-and-so during practice and I saw it on the periscope so I'm all "like" because I agree he was doing that. But, now no one can tell if it's me backing up Treesh or Dalton appreciating the information.

This displeases me.

Hit ctrl+z when you don't have an undo icon.

Mark a forum as read by clicking into the forum then it's in the upper right hand corner right above the forum windows. Check mark and "mark forum as read".

I miss public likes because I want to see who all loves all the funny and well thought out posts I make.
