Ran Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We'll get Tapatalk installed again, as we've said. Just need to see the state of it, since the last I heard the IPS4 version was in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordofmorning Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yes, it is godamn awful on a mobile.Really very slow. You should consider creating an app, Ran... or at least make a mobile version Like the new design though.@Lady Sharya, you are not the only one. I am down to 7 from 700 something.From a Council Member to a commoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggle Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 To me every thing just blends together. I cant just glance at a page and separate threads / pinned threads / post. And the borders on the side are just way to large. I dont need 3 inches of tan on each side of the actual content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direpupy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 apart from the lost posts i don't have any trouble with the new design in itself it just needs some minor tweeks, but i am with Muggle on the borders on the side there a tad large. and my profile picture is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The design is nice, but it's very difficult to post to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yeah I'm not a fan of the layout. Everything was very distinct before and now it's all white and grey and things are in weird places.Being able to do this is pretty cool though.

Balerion's Whiskers Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 For those of you having problems with ads, install an ad blocker. It doesn't support the site, but it can get you through a rough patch of transition. They are available for both desk units and mobile devices. They're free and it does clean up quite a bit of clutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Arthur Hightower Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It is fine, once I disabled everyone's signature it becomes a lot less cluttered. However all those pointless arguments lost , I might need to start another 'military strength of the regions' thread to compensate.I'm sure there's been enough of those.

Ser Arthur Hightower Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I actually quite like the new design, but I second what Drunkard said about contrast, though I think the layout is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillyPolly Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I apologize in advance for all the gifs I am like to bombard this place with from now on.If that's the advantage, I'd rather have the old posts back. One of the things that always annoyed me about The Website That Must Not Be Named, is the giant animated images that I must screen through to actually read the posts. Will I be able to turn them off?

Ser Arthur Hightower Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I would also like to add that the loading time for pages seem to be quite a bit faster than before, though to be fair the speed was never very consistent. Edit; I just noticed what the layout does to my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that always annoyed me about The Website That Must Not Be Named, is the giant animated images that I must screen through to actually read the posts. Will I be able to turn them off?At the moment, we have no control over embedded images. They removed that control from 4.0. It is back in 4.1, but it lacks another thing we need so we can't upgrade further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should consider creating an app, Ran... or at least make a mobile version I think we should clarify here that we do not have any control over apps or mobile skins ourselves, we're entirely dependant on what others develop. A mobile skin is not likely to be created by anyone given that this is a responsive design, which serves all sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon2908 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There were many bugs in the old layout as well. They should have fixed all of those first before doing this since this is buggy as well.Words are not eligible because of their colour against the background colour. They can improve this by changing the colour or making the font size bigger. There are plenty of blank spaces as well which need to be removed.

Damp Hair - The Prophet Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 ^Are we allowed to add gifs or not? What will be the decorum going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah.jenice Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Post counts were running for years without any downward adjustments when we deleted threads, which we did quite a lot. Unfortunately, the upgrade process did not allow us to specify that post counts should not be revised. I think I lost 20,000 or more, for my part.We may possibly be able to correct this once everything is said and done, by extracting the post count data from the old database and reinserting it into the new. But no guarantees, and it will be awhile before we feel that that's an issue we can spend time on.Don't worry about it, Ran. It's not that big of a deal. I'm sure we'll all get used to the new board. I like the notifications feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not related.The design is made with this amount of blank space. Changing it significantly is beyond us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philpenn Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Liking the addition of last/first page buttons, going one at a time before was tedious.Can't tell which threads have new posts, or which threads I've previously posted in though. Not liking this so much.Nevermind to the not liking part. Didn't see that the site change logged me out. Resigned in to post, and all is well.
