I feel like grandpa Stewie.
Often, when I’m reading text, I’ll highlight it with the mouse, and drag the mouse around, highlighting 6 or 4 or 10 lines as I’m reading. It’s not to help me read, it’s just an unconscious thing. With the new format, try highlighting this sentence with your mouse. :eek: !
It’ll take me a whole 17 seconds to adapt.
WTF
Well, not a great look but my iPad no longer has to reload the page every minute.
On a positive note, the avatars look great, although Idle’s is NSFW.
I didn’t need the format updated for my phone. I’d rather use the desktop format, it worked just fine for me. I tried changing my user agent, but the boards force the mobile format on me. Lord, this one sucks.
I like it. The mobile format before was ridiculous. Now I won’t have to use Tapatalk.
it’s…fine.
A bit clearer and less cluttered, text is a bit bigger on my desktop.
I could live perfectly well with the old version or this one…no biggee.
This isn’t an upgrade, it’s just a bunch of wonky changes to the formatting. It’s like someone farted in my CSS.
And what the hell is Shagnasty talking about?
Also, where’s the join date, location and post count on mobile? WTF Zotti?
Typical Doper reaction. Bitchbitchbitch. To quote Hawkeye Pierce, “They’re a pesky bunch.”
It’s more legible for me, but I have seriously crappy eyesight.
If you don’t want to see ads, fork over your $10/year.
You’re right. We need even more blank space between lines.
Maybe
they
can
set
it
up
to
do
this.
Stupid changes. Loathe the new format. Fire whoever approved it.

All that extra white space in the forum pages means you can’t see nearly as many thread titles at once. Not a big deal, but still somewhat annoying.

The thread pages totally suck.
a)The big blue bars between posts are the visual equivalent of if, during an otherwise normal conversation, somebody banged a drum every time someone finished saying something. They’re that jarring, at least to me.
b) It’s really bright.
c) Type’s too big.
d) Why do we need both icons AND descriptive titles for Reply With Quote, Multi Quote, and Quick Reply? If you’ve got the words, the icons are superfluous. And the point of icons is to substitute for the words. You do one or the other.
ETA: Just put it back the way it was, pretty please?
Ew.
The join date fields don’t even line up from post to post. It looks like somebody formatted something in a fixed-space font and then changed it by mistake.

[li]I have to slide back from my monitor on the computer because the font is now so big it’s hard to read while sitting a ‘normal’ distance from the monitor. It’s more like a headline instead of body/story font size.[/li][li]Way too much blank space on page now.[/li][li]Significantly more ads - every 5th post or so now.[/li][li]The boxes (around quoted text, username/signin, etc.) are poorly defined.[/li][li]Highlighted text is hard to read with the green highlights.[/li][li]I can’t seem to turn off the “go to top of page” arrow on a mobile device; the occasions I’d want to use this doesn’t offset the fact that it’s overlaying text I’d like to read underneath of it.[/li][li]The “go to first new post” button is now highlighted in red &; therefore, annoyingly distracting. Does it at least work now? I swear the old one was a :go to some random post" button; especially if the thread had rolled to a new page since I last looked at it, it would almost always go to the top of the new page, bypassing the last 1, 5, 10, 20 posts on the previous page.[/li][li]The smilies are much closer together, making it [del]difficult[/del] impossible to highlight one smilie now (especially the middle ones). I sometimes highlight/copy/paste one into an email; I can’t anymore.[/li][/ul]
Congratulations, you’ve managed to make it worse to read on both a desktop & a mobile in one shot; that’s quite a feat!
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? :rolleyes:
Adblock doesn’t work on the every 5th ad, dang it. But, now my Location and Post count show, so trade up, trade down.
:rolleyes:
Wow, the natives are restless!
Sure, the new blank spaces are jarring but I’ve already gotten used to them. Ditto the streamlined listing of threads.
I appreciate that I don’t necessarily need to wear my glasses to read this on my laptop 
The new format is much like the formats I’ve seen where a site becomes optimized for tablets/phones. No biggie for me :shrug:
