PLEASE FIX THE ACTIVE TOPICS! THERE ITS NO OPTION FOR GENERAL IN THE DROP DOWN!
an option for "All Topics" would be nice for active topics as well. Because right now, navigating this site is like driving a truck with no headlights through the woods at night with sunglasses on. |

GoatBoy,
Thanks for your work on the upgrade. How do I set newest topics to the EE? The EE newest topic list was pretty awesome for finding good deals before they got snatched up. |

The EE overview is not showing any new listings for me, as a matter of fact its showing the zombie error. Is this being worked on?

Also, on the ACTIVE TOPICS page please bring back the reference for which sub-forum the thread originated from. For instance, if I saw a thread entitled "pistol won't eject brass" but could see it was in the ruger subforum I would know to skip the topic as I do not own a ruger pistol. |

Hamburger button on the top left corner opens the menu. If you want to switch to the full site on a mobile device, it's an option in the menu.

Is there a way to make it 50 post per page on mobile? ETA: how about the report button while on mobile? Am i missing it? |

I hate it. When I click on the little green arrow that supposed to take you to the last page you viewed in a thread, it takes you to a page that has the thread title listed twice but doesn't actually open the thread. Really weird.
ETA- I keep getting an error message when I try to upload a new avatar. |

This will take some getting used to. The oversize font issue I solved by "Ctrl + (-) down to about 80%. Much more comfortable to read now. Also, I had to quote someone in order to reply. The Reply icon doesn't show up for this topic, but it does on a few others that I tried.
Maybe because I'm not a paynig member, but I also can't change background color away from the black everywhere 2000 Myspace theme. |

When I go to edit my profile and then click the first two links at the top (Discussion Forums, Firearms Resources), they don't work. No drop-down appears like it does everywhere else. They work fine from other places.
Also, I see this at the bottom of my profile where it shows "Forum Activity": An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator. It may be because I was once a team member and am no longer. It shows some old Negative Feedback thread from the EE as the only thread in my Forum Activity section. Edited to correct my issue - dropdowns are missing on first two options, but the others link away fine. |

Put it back.
Is there a way to adjust the font size or page size on the forum? I don't want to be adjusting that on my browser then other sites will be tiny. This is huge. And where the hell is the "subscribed threads" button now? Once again, this is HUGE. |

My green arrows don't work on my iPad from my subscribed threads page. They work from the main page fine. In subscribed threads they just open a page saying how many pages there are in the thread. I know I'm doing something wrong. I logged out & then back in. Didn't help.
Other than that, the site is WAY faster for me & is way, WAY easier to read!! |

Now it takes extra clicks and some scrolling. Noticeably less streamlined. Also, WTF is happening with our avatars, and how to we fix it? Yep, needs hotlinks to Subscriptions, My EE listings, etc. Still not a fan though. Still can see fewer posts on my screen, everything is bigger. I say go back to the old one and try again Also, the green button for jump to last read post does not work |

Thanks for the hard work, Y'all! On initial use, I dislike it, but I know I'll get used to the change. Is there an easy way to implement a "classic" view (some forums have implemented that)?
Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jhereg:
2 things I hate so far No buttons for subscribed/active threads w/o using drop down menu. I use those a lot and it's really annoying. 2nd Problem is that everything is way to big. Checking in user settings I see font sizes of regular/large/extra large. I want extra small/small. Everything is WAY too big. I agree with your two points, especially the issue of everything being so large, which makes everything spread out way too much. The line spacing within posts and between components outside of the posts needs to be reduced. For example, the components right below this text block as I'm replying are too large and too spaced out. As it is:  Attached FileAs it could be with reduced spacing and component sizes:  Attached File |

In the EE forum, there is a problem with the column text overlapping between the Author and Reply # column if the Author length is too long.

My biggest complaint - and FWIW, I'm on a laptop - is the sizing. Old format used to be able to see several response lines of a thread in a page. Now, its only one or maybe two. Makes it much more difficult to follow a conversation once you're in a thread.
ETA - And now my avatar is just a hat.

I want the mobile version to be efficient, fast and low bandwidth. Do I have to see avatars and all the wasted post space or am I seeing the wrong thing?
I tried the full site menu option but other than some navigation bars across top and seeing more partner icons, it looked the same. Is that right? No change asking the browser to request desktop site. Couldnt find the get back to mobile site link initially as it required scrolling to the far right. ETA Mobile looks different (and better) on my phone than on the tablet (avatar and poster info horizontal over top of post and no scrolling needed)....but I still dont want to see the avatars and all the wasted post space for the sake of bandwidth and efficiency especially on the smaller screens. ETA2 Assuming I am on mobile, at least now I can start a topic post and edit it without going to full site. |
