I cant zoom in text on my phone
can’t zoom in or make text bigger. Also, while the actual posts are in a legible font, much of the other layout is in some weird, square, hard to read font that looks pretty bad to me. I don’t know what the font is called but its not very easy to read… can we at least have a switchable font of some kind, and preferably be able to make the text bigger?
looks great on the computer !!
Hate the new layout. HATE it. Really unworkable from iPad or phone! Love this site & most of the folk. I really am grateful for it, but think this needs more work.
Looks like the Russkis got in.
Lots of wasted space. Pretty clunky, even if it looks more “modern”. Form should not precede function. Board builders know this.
And,the way it quotes the first few words in a reply is rather superfluous, and unnecessary.
I disagree, strongly. Looks really bad. Like it was done on Win95, or something.
Oh, and where the hell is the “quote” option?
I just think the fonts are too small and the colour of the type seems faded to me… For me, it’s just too hard to read.
Maybe it’s a way to cull all the old guys out ?
i agree the text is very hard to read and find myself sqwinting to try and see it. it needs the grid lines to seprate the different subjects and titles it all a bit grey and just burrs into one.
Lame platform.
Yep. Gotta reaffirm the above: (1) the fonts are small & hard to read, even on PC, and (2) the format (automatic requoting of post content in every post) is redundant and obtrusive (that’s my polite word for annoying & unpleasant).
Old format was maybe less elegant visually, but I’ll take legible and not-annoying-content-per-every-post every day of the week.
You’ll probably have a lot less traffic from the people who use reading glasses, which is probably most of the most valuable posters, sticking to this change.
Apart from the first words thing
and the strange bit how the posters name is bigger than the post subject. I quite like the new setup less buggy avatars are now visible and I can even log in again with my default browser.
I can’t even read what’s I’m tyoing…or avebthevability to expand the view.
A little, or a lot of advance warning would be good for any of these major changes inthevfuture.
Fuck it, too much trouble !!
For those on a PC who have trouble reading text due to font size, just press “Ctrl” and the “+” key to enlarge the view of the page. You can hit the + key more than once to adjust to suit. I just tried it, and it allowed at least six increases. Not sure what can be done if you’re using a phone. I don’t use phones for the internet.
working well on a Mac.
all the best
A simple way to get from MESSAGES back to GENERAL DISCUSSIONS would be nice. Right now, it’s a chore.
While I’m not the biggest fan of the appearance I can live with it. The only downside I’ve seen so far is that its quite a pain to look at on a phone ( iPhone <— I hate this thing). It will only allow you to see half the screen when your at the message boards.
Bill, not sure what you are using to access the site with but at least on my screen there is a little box at the top right that you can click and it bring a drop down menu - you can scroll right to where ever you want to go. ( at least to me this is easier navigation than before)
