Exactly why I said it is a mess. Some threads are now unreadable.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I'll try to respond to as many of the messages as possible here.

1. Display issues - If you are experiencing any display issues, including but not limited to the menus being open/expanded automatically when you visit the site, please let me know what browser & platform you are using. Firefox on Windows 10, Safari on Mac, Chrome on a Samsung Android, etc. This will help me to reproduce the issue and resolve it. Sounds like this is the top issue to address. You can PM me directly if you like or follow up here, either way.

2. Spacing - I like that there is a fair amount of white space, but I do agree it is a bit much. I should be able to tighten that up. I'll put that on the list.

3. Post buttons - those slender vertical buttons in each post for Quote Post, Edit Post, Report Post, etc are stylish and compact, but I agree, they are not very intuitive. Given how almost every other feature of this layout is pretty clearly labeled, those seems to stand out. Or do not stand out actually. I'll be looking into making those more clear.

4. Unread posts - agree, the unread posts images could be better. I'll add that tot he list.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

Change is often challenging, but I think I'll get used to the new look and feel easily enough. It's definitely cleaner, more streamlined.

Just to add to the discussion, I'm using Safari on a Mac and am also experiencing the default setting for drop-down menus as open. It blocks out the right side of the text box in the "quick reply" section and makes it very difficult to craft a post without opening the full editor.

If there's a way to change the default setting so all of those pull-downs are closed unless needed, that would be a big help.

Oh man, I can only imagine the frustration when the backup became corrupted... I have been there. Good job resolving this with minimal impact. Change is never easy, but we'll all get used to the theme (if it stays like this). Thanks for the update.

I think the change worked for the menus. Thanks. But there is definitely a lot of excessive space and formatting when creating a post or reply. Samsung S7 with 6.0.1

The menu issue is still not fixed for me. Chrome on Windows 10. And yes, I cleared cookies and cache.

Android chrome user here. I will echo this.
The pop up menus are the biggest issue, but the functionality and formatting is poor for me as well.

What type of Android device are you using? I'm not yet able to reproduce the issue on my own android or several others.
I'm looking into the formatting to tighten up some of the white space.
Also, what functionality issue(s) are you referring to?


Thanks

I keep getting logged out when I move from 1 topic to the other. Ex-from Dynasty discussion to Dynasty team advice.

Also, how do you see original poster and date of a thread? It only shows the most recent post.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is there a link from the forum pages back to the DLF homesite? It doesn't seem like clicking the logo takes you back to the homepage, and I'm not seeing how to return expect via my browser's "back" button. Safari on Mac.

Have not added those links yet, but they are on the list. Those and several other tweaks will be completed in the coming days. Thanks!
