Evidently it's just me, but clicking the Like button does nothing.

And I still want my quick reply button back! Why do we have to scroll beneath the reply window and click reply?

Is this a bug? I have my settings to set to show 100 threads per page... yet when I click on "new posts", I get a list of new posts... but it's only showing "1 to 42 of 44"... but there's not option to see the other 2 posts... not sure if it's a bug with the count or with pagination... but it's not right.

I do appreciate all the work that went into this... but I gotta vote "Hate it". I hate the large font, the layout is ugly and I can't find anything... and the "MARK ALL READ" is a tiny little link at the bottom of the MAIN page? #fail

Sorry... I'm taking a break while they sort this out...

Have to agre. I don't like the new layout. The text doesn't fit on the web page and I'm constantly scrolling left and right to see it. Annoying.

My suggestions. (and yes, I've settled down quite a bit over the past couple of days).
  1. Add a "Mark all read" link at the top of the page.
  2. Add additional skins or at the minimum, an option to select smaller fonts.
  3. Reduce the amount of whitespace AND crapola at the top of each page. The combination of large fonts/images and a ton of it means the actual thread postings dont' start before I have to scroll down.
  4. There seems to be an issue with "private messages" actually showing up. I have had to reload the page and/or click the link multiple times to get that item to show on the list (the dropdown next to the envelop icon above).

And I do realize what a monumental undertaking this was... I appreciate the effort, and apologize if I sounded harsh or curmudgeon-like in my earlier posts in this thread.

Ok I've settled down with the new layout.
I'm good with it except, as I stated above, not being able to click to see my subscribed forums.
The old layout was great for this- just one click and it displayed all of my subscribed threats then listed all of my subcribed forums.
Pls bring that back. I'm spending too much time navigating pass the forums In which I have no interest.
Tks

Is there a way to put an option at the bottom of a thread that will allow us to go back to "New Posts"? It's somewhat inconvenient to have to scroll back to the top and then select "New Posts". Heck is there a way to also put pictures options at the bottom of the thread while also keeping them at their current positions?

If you just hit the back button in your browser, you'll be back to New Posts (if that's where you started), just like always. It even takes you back to the exact position you were in before viewing the current thread.

Yes, but the listing is not refreshed.

I got a 27" monitor at home & office to see MORE content. Not bigger, in your face content that looks like I zoomed in 10x.

Maybe this looks better on a tablet or something but there should be a desktop mode.

Bug?

Noticing the bottom reply to thread button only takes you to the quick reply. and not the full post compose page.

At the top of the thread the post to thread button does work, as it load the new compose message, with advanced features, attachments, etc.

You want to add in new stuff since the 25 seconds when you started reading this post?

Yes. I'd like to see the list refreshed especially if I'm currently trying to help someone and is awaiting his or her response. It may seem silly to some, but it is an option I'd like to see implemented. If the option is not implemented, I'll simply use the currently available options to the best of my ability. ;)

Is there any kind of key to the icon usage in the new forum? I've seen a few different icons and wonder what they are trying to show. Some of the "envelope" icons that mark each thread have little green circles with an arrow in them. Others do not have the green circle.

Also, forums typically have different icons for read/unread threads... is there any such markings here (or plans for them)?

Is anyone else having the issue with the participated threads? Not all are listed. In fact two recent ones from earlier today aren't there.

@Fausty82, I believe the little green arrow (as opposed to little green apple) means you have contributed to the thread.

Dang! For just a split second, I thought I accidentally logged into androidcentral.

Rene Nice job with the new forum layout. :) I know you worked hard on it, along with trying to put together a iPhone 5 review. Only thing I wish is that the font wasn't so big as I think it takes up a lot more space than it actually needs to...
