JohnfromUK Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Many thanks for all the hard work in making the change. It seems pretty good to me, and whilst there will be the odd 'teething trouble', my overall impression is very positive. Thanks for a job well done.

JDog Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I only ever use 'new content' to access the forum. I note that this has disappeared from the top line and gone over to the right hand side somewhere. Can it be restored from whence it came?

Teal Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 @JDogMobile or PC? On a PC it is underneath Search towards top right, otherwise you can click "My Activity Streams" which is a bit further left and grab it from there.

old'un Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) One annoying thing is reading a topic without logging in, you read the posts and decide you would like to reply to a post on that topic, so you click login and it jumps to the home page, you then have to start searching for the post you were about to reply to, the old site did not do that. when I receive an email notification of a reply to a post some of the characters are not displaying correctly, like the one I received today, 'What's the ultimate all round gun'.....its no hardship but thought I would point it out. On the old site you could see at the bottom of the page who and how many members were reading a topic, can we not have this back? As the 'new content' button been replaced with 'Unread content'?

wymberley Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Not critical, but points 1 and 3 above are useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Is there a pc and mobile version as when I veiw the forum now I don’t see post counts locations or where members are from. Much like the mobile version of the old format ? Noticed the themes choice at bottom of page has gone too. Not that any other themes were available at the time.

If you are on a PC try making your viewing window bigger. There are no longer two themes (mobile/PC) Instead it is responsive, so it adjusts based on the size of screen viewing it. When small some of that non-critical info is hidden. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I will when I get on a computer but most times I use a mobile device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 On mobile will need to go to the user profile to see location and post count. Compromise of what information to show with limited space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I thought was great about the old mobile theme was that it was actually usable with just E, maybe even just G mobile signal. Just tried the new look over E and you guessed it, Computer says No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Before the update - when logged in (on mobile) if there's new posts on a thread I've previously read, when I click on that thread it took me to the first new post... now it just goes to post #1 and I've to make my own way to newest post/posts. Site is fine otherwise, i just find that a little annoying Edited November 7, 2017 by Harry Callahan Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) More than a little annoying, what about the threads that go for twenty or so pages, lots of fun to be had scrolling through trying to find where you left it, like reading a book with no bookmark and each page taking five seconds to turn. Unfortunatly if I was a new member here I wouldn’t stay long as this site I now very awkward to use, It’s only because I know how good it can be that I’m still looking, fingers crossed it gets better Edited November 7, 2017 by JBS This was supposed to quote the post above but again hard work now after the update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 JBS, it is new and it may not be what the old one was but it had to be done. I'm sure Teal and the Moderators didn't just choose to change things for the sake of it. In a week or so most people will have accepted the update, learned where everything is and just be getting on with using the Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I understand this and I’m sure we will all get used to it because we enjoy the site so much, I suppose we are spoiled by big sites like Facebook and eBay etc making constant changes and updates that simplify our experience without losing past benefits whereas this new forum layout seems more of a needs must experience, I feel like I’ve gone back to using a Nokia after having an iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 If it's a multiple page thread with no new content and you want to go to the last post just click the page number of where you want to go then it's just that page you have to scroll down, on mobile devices it always used to take you to the last post but on PC's it never did, you had to do what i described above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
