what the WHAT?
This was a surprise

Meh. I can’t seem to select the desktop site from my mobile, I really really hate it when sites force “mobile version/“ on its users.

[Monkeyfudger]

Wont let me edit either.

[Mr.Gib]

Needs more contrast, coloured panels, etc. Hard to for the eye to discern. Perhaps the whole faded out effect will pass with more exposure but the whole visual feel is a bit flat and ambiguous.

[Slammed]

I honestly hate the updated look. It's truly awful to use. I'll probably spend less time on here because of it.

I don't mind the updated layout but the large amount of white in the background is hard on my eyes.

Sorry but there is no mobile and desktop version here. Everything is in one site. What are you exactly lacking in mobile view?

Needs more contrast ... Hard to for the eye to discern.

Do you think that a slightly darker background would help?

...and putting the avatars on the right side is the stupidest thing you can do to a forum (never understood why phphbb did that..)

Indeed, we cannot understand as well. But there is no alternative.

can't you just give us the option to choose the old design in the profile settings or something?

I will see what we can do, but the old theme is not even updated by it's developer any more. It is not compatible with the current PHPBB version.

I can get used to the “look” but I’m having trouble navigating. And hence I left the desktop and am writing this via Tapatalk on my iPhone. Is there a way to list just “unread” posts, not sorted by forums etc. I’m a frequent user and only want the unread stuff to show up intitially. And what about a “Timeline” of posts. I find that very useful on Tapatalk and was always missing in WW. By that I mean just a chronological listing of posts. It’s useful when you want to review a post that you saw a little bit ago but it’s been marked as “read” so doesn’t show up. In those cases with a Timeline you can just scan down the posts until you find the thread you were looking for.

I also noticed that a post which I thought I had made to this thread earlier is not here. I feel bad now because you asked me to look at the beta for feedback and I promised to do so this week. Today was probably going to be the day. Oh well, it appears to be live now so you’ll have plenty of feedback I’m sure.

Looked like a mobile version to me were the format of the site and text is enlarged to fit my screen meaning I can only read 1 post at a time without scrolling, personal big bear of mine and why I hate mobile versions, if that’s how it’s just auto adjusting for everything then I guess that’s just how it is. Can’t stand constantly scrolling myself though.

[Calnago]

Just found what I was looking for under the top left “Quick Links”. But I’d still like to see a “Timeline” choice in there.

[Monkeyfudger]

Won’t let me edit or post when I’ve quoted, or if it redirects when someone has posted while I’m writing either.

[Calnago]

Alternating shades between thread topics might make for easier reading.

Holy nearly impossible to get signed in. Had to reset multiple times. No captcha displays.

I have more than 30 posts in last 30 days... Starbike link won't work.

New template is to spread out. Too much scrolling. Far prefer the old template.
