+1 for way too big and too much dead space on PC. I scaled down to 80% and I still need to scroll to see each reply.

Having had spent some more time with the new site, I will repeat my earlier post.
SUCKS! Looks like a 3 year old with a box of crayolas and some poster board did it. Change it back or at least make it so the old site is available. Honestly I don't know why you guys screwed with it. It worked fine. |

As someone who uses this site probably 75% on my desktop at work I find the new site way more difficult to navigate. I liked the bar across the top with the different forums instead of the drop down menu. Also, the wasted space in the threads now makes it difficult to read. I would like to see a classic version as an option if possible. While I would agree that there were things that needed to be updated on this site I think the complete revamping may have gone a little bit to far.

Any way I can get embedded youtube videos on the mobile site to fit to screen in the browser ?
Half the video is out of the screen and you can not zoom out or center. You have to go to YouTube to watch. |

I am trying to view this new version on a laptop running Windows 7.0 and the subscribe feature no longer works. When I go to see the thread that I am subscribed to it takes me to an empty page with no posts. Not working for me at all. I am running Windows 10, Firefox (updated to the newest edition) on my laptop and the subscribe feature works fine for me. I did log out and log back in this AM as some said it needed to be done.

I do 99% of my browsing on my laptop and I have not experienced any of the symptoms that you describe.

Not to join the dogpile too much, but I strongly agree with the complaints regarding too much empty/wasted space when viewing on a PC. It makes scrolling through threads a chore and aesthetically appears very fragmented.
Also, I think that the "sticky bar" should be able to be customized with different links from the "forum tools" drop down and links to different forums. As it is right now, it takes more clicks to reach subscriptions than it did before. Being able to access pages of our choosing with a single click would be much more useful than seeing a persistent icon/link to Gunstruction and the ARFcom store, both of which, I assume, most people rarely want/need to access quickly. |

I see the page numbering issue has not been fixed - ie, sometimes when you click the green arrow, it takes you to one page before the last page - but doesn't give you an option to go to the actual last page, b/c it doesn't show it. You have to manually change the page number in the URL to access the actual last post. This has been a persistent problem for some time, and I would have expected that to be taken care of in the redesign.
