spoonsinger Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Looking at the centre panel, (well the left panel), you could, (if it's feasible with the template), move the number of posts/topics column a bit to the left, and then expand the right column so you get more of the post text in. Just a thought.
Ashal Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Thoughts on the "New" badge that shows up on the homepage for unread content? Need to decide if I should hide it or not. I personally find it kind of distracting... 3

I can't think of a single forum I have completely read all the time. 4

Some people used to zoom to see a post contend before this update. I had it myself at 110% in firefox, and because of this, it needs more. Some of us have farsightedness!!? + 1 That thing takes 1/3 of my screen for data I don't need, and leaves a big empty space on the right once you've scrolled down far enough. 1
sofzx Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Wow! the light mode make me feel I'm in a family website! lol. Love the changes!
PenBoozerX Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I would like a more compact look back, would require lot less scrolling to browse recent posts. Threads have a lot more redundant empty space between them now. Any way to disable the "NEW" alert on front page? Half of the site is gonna have those for me since i never click them, I'd rather not have them anywhere. 1

WhatRules Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 This new look is much better and feels more modern and fresh. People who complain or have issues just have to realize they are tryhard.
PubliusNV Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Is there any way to get rid of the sidebar? I don't like that the forum posts are now only shown in about half the width of the browser window. Also, the line that indicates the break between the posts you have read and those you haven't does not stand out as much as it used to. Is there any way to customize that? 6
DeepBlueFrog Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Ahhhhhh! I tried the Light mode since people commented on it and the customizer button is nowhere to be seen now. How do I go back to Dark mode????

Had quite a few peeps saying they would like to follow me but can't and not sure when that happened where we could not add people anymore. Can this be fixed or no? Most likely it wont : this feature was taken down due to a troll (Jinkazama I think) creating dozens of profiles in order to spam others users profiles with follow notifications. The issue was you couldn't remove someone from your followers, nor blacklist him. Disabling the function was the chosen way out. 1

Oh well...
gollum007 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I agree with the other peeps saying the sidebar is obnoxious Fortunately, adblock to the rescue: www.loverslab.com###ipsLayout_sidebar Add as a custom filter, should work IIRC with all the major blockers. 1

I don't like that the forum posts are now only shown in about half the width of the browser window. Seconding this request. I never work with the browser window maximized, but with it at "normal" size for me the side panel compresses the posts to a pretty narrow width, and it's the posts that I'm really interested in. Otherwise, I like a lot of the site changes. Thanks for the fresh look! 3
Kahnadah Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Only one suggestion, and it's cause I'm old... O.o could the mark forum read button be a bit bigger? It took me a bit to find it! Otherwise I like the redesign. It's clean and uncluttered.
Slorm Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Looking good so far, but as others have mentioned, can you get rid of the sidebar. It just wastes space and doesn't give any particularly useful info
woodsman30 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 So far looks good I like the side bar give some info on thread ?

Thank you. Also works with uBlock Origin on Firefox, tested it myself. I think the sidebar IPS slows everything down a bit, because before blocking it with the filter, the list of my inbox messages (I received the inbox full notification) loaded much slower.
randomname002 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Agree with the the others, the sidebar in posts is just a waste of space and resources. On the topic list/main page it is useful, but not in an actual posts page.
Herowynne Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 The new sidebar is useful, but it should only take space away from the posts immediately beside it at the top of the page. The problem with the new sidebar is that it takes space away from all the posts on the page, and there is just blank space to the right of about 90% of the posts on the page. 2
