Now that the colors are more bearable (thanks!), I can worry about lesser things. Just a few I noticed although not sure which are possible to fix:
The thread list used to show an indicator that I had posted in it before; I miss that.
When I reply to a thread, it puts me at the end of the thread rather than where I left off reading in it
After fully reading a thread and pressing the Back button to return to the thread list, it doesn't automatically update the thread I was reading to indicate it was read.
Looks much better. Clean look, squared away and definitely easier on the eyes. Thank you I can imagine this is a boatload of work to first migrate and then tweak so quickly. Well done.
THIS! I miss being able to scan the classifieds by the thumbnail photo, rather than having to open every damn post to see what things look like.
Also, where is the reply/ countdown? You mean I have to count my fingers to figure out how many more days until I can bump? What nonsense is that?
The grey part? Still can't really see it. Getting better and better, though.How's that?
i like writing the way i talk. i use the f-bomb in real life as a adjective. i guess i figure it's alright in conversation as long as i don't direct it at anyone. bad habit.Also discovered we can swear in our posts....
I am very surprised you are still with us, my friend!Actually, that's not bad.
Sometimes, driving at night, I will dim my phones screen down to minimum, tape it to the steering wheel and browse NES or whatever in a black themed TT. Keeping the light level way down reduces the distraction from my driving and since it's nighttime, no sunlight to wash out the screen.
me too. saw a guy this morning running a movie while he was motoring along. had his phone in a holder that attached to the air vent. a little part of me wanted him to crash. damn, this new format makes me too brutally honest.I am very surprised you are still with us, my friend!
damn, this new format makes me too brutally honest.
I notice since the new changes, I'm more argumentative.

nope, not you. he was moving around 25 mph. can a prius go that fast?Gray hair? Racing Green Prius?! That was ME!
Everything takes a little getting used to. But by and large, the new version is a lot faster, and I think it is easier for a lot of things that used to be more complicated (like subscribing to a thread for instance). If you are wondering about the best way to see your own stuff (follows and likes etc.) Go to your Alerts page (upper right next to your user name) and most of the stuff is there (Likes, (used to be reputation). Any change can be difficult and frustrating, but everyone will get used to it, and if the forum is to keep going, sometimes it has to get updated to the latest technology or it will die. Anyone still dialing in to a BBS?
The only thing I am having a problem with is the dates on posts, it is tiny type, in a weird place and gray on gray and so small it is very difficult to read. A slightly larger font with more contrast would be a lot better - like black font on the medium gray background. In general I think higher contrast in areas where it is not good would be preferred
