Wow, I hate this new format

[pulykamell]

@GreenWyvern

I get it that they need to upgrade the format for people using tablets and smart phones, but the format now has some serious issues for users with a large monitor.

On my iPhone SE, it looks weird. The sentences cut off mid word at the end of a line.

So, for example, I have a thread open where the lines are “and wouldn’t save new photos. Since my phone’s memory is almost full, I had space for perhaps a couple dozen pictures on it. So I had to pause and think about …”

but it formats like this:

and wouldn’t save new photos. Since my phone’s m
emory is almost full, I had space for perhaps a cou
ple dozen pictures on it. So I had to pause and thin
k about …

Ellipses added.

That can’t be possibly how it’s supposed to look, can it? Is there some sort of option I’m supposed to check or uncheck in some settings or preferences menu?

Anybody else noticing this on mobile phone?

The main font is way too big, but zooming out ruins other formatting. If possible please just reduce the main font size, you can leave everything else be.

And, I see .signatures now print by default.

I tried turning it off in User CP, but it had no effect.
EDIT: OK, it did this time, but not the last time.

If you don’t want to see ads, fork over your $10/year.

How about no.

I just wish
ya’all would standardize
the font sizes.

Is there a New Posts option in the mobile version?

What an ugly mess this is.

[Shodan]

It also seems to have defaulted to show my signature. Let me see if I turned that off correctly.

If you click on Menu at the top (has three solid bars next to it), one of the options is New Posts.

Wow I just refreshed the page, and it got even worse! Now pale aqua dividers, and a paler post font.

This is just too much change for me…

Why is everyone shouting?!

[Mr_Shine]

I think I will post all my posts with the size=2 function. This makes me a special snowflake, but at least my posts will not be ridiculously huge.

Are we gonna get in trouble when we quoth other posters? … we’re not supposed to modify their post at all and that has always included changing the entire quothated text to italics … or should I expect a warning every time I try? …

[Just_Asking_Questions]

I just also noticed that hyperlinks in posts are subtly darker, not obviously darker. Definitely harder to see.

Well, I can’t see the buttons to change text size or add hyperlinks anyway. All I can do is type. Do anyone else have missing formatting buttons above the post composer? I don’t even see smilies. <there is a manual smilie here in my post.

Did I just screw up something on my end? I don’t have any features - no first post button, nothing.

FWIW, I like it. I’m sure there are glitches to be worked out, but the larger font is more comfortable for me, and the little touches of color are helpful. Maybe I don’t sit as close to my monitor as some.

Suggestion: Make “Submit Reply” and “Preview Post” different shades.

The mobile site seems much friendlier to my phone (which is old – Samsung S5; dunno what it looks like on something newer).

Tap the menu bars.

We installed a mobile-friendly “theme.” The ads are causing problems; I’m trying to get that straightened out. In the meantime, I notice that formatting problems are less noticeable when pages are viewed in landscape orientation. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I also noticed that this problem is only occurring on my iPhone, not the iPad. I’m a member so I don’t have ads. I’ll check the phone and see if the problem persists in landscape orientation. If it does, I’ll report back.

Yes. For me in portrait -which is how i browse on my phone. Landscape may be different, but maybe there is an option somewhere.

Check “edit options” in your CP, there’s an option for a simple text editor. Bottom of the page.
