    OK, so I've figured out what it is that I don't like about the new layout. It's the grey boxes on the forum/sub-forum lists - they're just too big. There's a huge gap between each forum name and each list seems interminably long as you scroll through it. Any chance of reverting to the more compact and cleaner layout of the previous version? The other thing I've noticed is that stickies don't appear to have a different coloured background any more, which makes them harder to notice. Can this be fixed?

    He's probably got the same page bookmarked that I used to use, the subbed forums list:

    http://touch.boards.ie/forum/list

    That one 404s now.

    I'd bookmarked the page that just contained the list of forums I was following/ subscribed too. Does such a page still exist?

    No, but I think the guys are working on it.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned yet on the touch site the time of the last post in "my threads" doesn't appear.

    Lads, mind me asking if you did a bit of pre release testing or if this is it?

    One thing that I noticed was threads displaying that they'd been moved from the forum they're already in. The Hazards of Belief thread in Atheism&Agnosticism and a couple of the stickies in TCN seem to do this. They don't look like the other stickies, what with smaller text and extra bits and pieces. Minor aesthetic niggle, really, but might be worth mentioning.

    A bug is a bug - thanks for pointing it out.

    Also hitting "feedback" at the top or bottom was handy to bring you back to the forum. They're dead now

    Is it possible to change the size of the box around the forum names on the browse page? The list seems to take up a number of screens, as opposed to the compact list we had previously.

    Don't know if this has been mentioned & being looked into (I think this is the same as the old mobile version), but there's a lot of padding on the front page:

    The below images are if you wait until the URL bar disappears, and if you don't, on an iPhone 4 (iOS5):

    238590.gif238591.gif

    With the url bar showing, you can only get two threads in the display on an iPhone 4, less than half of the screen height is given to the threads, the rest of the screen is taken up by logo, search, tabs and iOS stuff. Even if you wait until the URL bar leaves, and discount the iOS stuff from the screenspace, the screen is around 830 pixels high (960 total, including iOS) of which, 536 pixels are dedicated to threads (max three threads) which is 2/3 of the available screenspace (56% of the total screen).

    How about less padding above and below the threads/search bar/tabs etc, and you could pop one more thread into the screen like below? Or has this been discussed to death and pointless me suggesting it?!

    Constructive feedback is always welcome. We've been playing around with the padding on the header today, will hopefully have further updates some stage early tomorrow.

    This please, everything suddenly appears ridiculously gigantic for no real reason

    Whatever you guys done, leave it as is, I finally find the touch site usable !

    Edit, actually the "posted in" is a bit pointless when you know what forum you're already in. But overall it's much easier to navigate.

    On the A-Z section, would be nice to know what the various subforums' home forums are - for instance there are 3 Games forums listed with no context as to what they belong to.

    I don't understand the change. I now have an extra tap and more scrolling in order to get to my list of forums, plus the forum list is now on the opposite side of the screen to the boards logo and hard to identify. I can't grasp the logic of making the site more difficult to use.

    Was it always the way on touch that when you post a reply your brought to the top of the page instead of your own post at the bottom?

    Also, why does it name the forum when you're looking at the thread list?

    We've tightened up the overall layout of the header and tabs as of earlier this morning, not as drastic as suggested in the thread perhaps but its a definite improvement.

    Thanks for the above feedback, we'll be making a host of further updates in the coming days.

    When I get a notification that I have a PM, hitting the notification icon only brings me to my account, where I have to select another option to get to my PM. Any chance that it could just click straight through to the inbox?
