New Forum Design: Official Feedback Thread

The mobile version seems much more usable to me now!!!

Definitely....

If you're using your iPhone, select desktop view after logging in. After that, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select MoNA Style.

Mine just switched too. Yesterday it wasn't working. I'll try again on my desktop.

It's hard to get desktop view to work.

Works now on my desktop now. Maybe someone fed the hamsters running the servers.

Not for me. On most occasions, I only have to select desktop view once, but sometimes I have to select it twice to get it to take.

Going to iMore and then navigating to the forums from there works perfectly. Following links to a particular thread or going directly to forums.imore.com looks like this for me:

Yep, that's what I get when I tap the ellipsis icon in TapaTalk, then choose Web view. And you have to tap on one of the options in the list, like forums, to find settings. And, IMO, it should say, "settings", not just a tiny cog icon.

Should be fixed now. If not clear cache

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, i was just looking at my inbox messages today. (it's a barren place haha) and noticed that the formatting wasn't quite right
.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

For me, the entire text is too difficult to read without zooming it up. Especially the blue text. It's too low contrast for me.

Have to agree here. I have good eyesight but the font could at least use a bigger size or boldness.

 

[wilber1]

On Crackberry forums font is bolder to my eyes possibility to have it on iMore?

Hey everyone. So before i start, this is just my opinion

I was browsing through the forums today and i noticed that "Ambassadors" and "Moderators" had big rectangle boxes below. Which i thought was fine but then i saw James' "Community Manager" label and it looks nicer to me. Would it be possible to make the "moderators and ambassadors" look the same? or has it been done intentionally like this?

I believe get are intentionally different now. They are also links now to explain that user group.

Agreed. It's a cleaner look than the badges which break up the flow of the post. But may just need to get used to them!

I agree the larger badges take away or distract from the post however not my call .

Good to know I'm not the only one

Well if enough Mods or Ambassadors like yourself who have some weight around the forums agree with me then iMore could possibly change the design. We all want it to look the best it can to attract new members to grow this lovely community

I still hate the wasted space on the margins.. and the color pallet is horrendous... but that's just me.

There is a small carat (">") on the right margin near the top, just beneath "Your Menu." Press that and it will get rid of most of the wasted space. Also, you might prefer the "dark mode." You can activate it by pressing the half moon symbol on "Your Menu" it is in the bottom, right of the pop down menu.

This is my largest complaint, at the moment, of the new design -- too many of the features are hidden, not obvious, and people don't know about them (much less how to activate these features).
