    Unreadable, impossible to navigate, completely unnecessary. Can’t see myself using this site any more if this is how it’s staying. At least add an option for legacy mode.

    Feel sorry for the poor developer. He's gonna be under a lot of pressure over the coming days/weeks to fix the teething issues.

    On the other hand there are some nice things about the new layout. I think once it goes back to a format similar to the old and users find their way around the new features it should be good.

    Oh, is there anyway of reverting back the like button to a thanks? makes it seem too much like facebuke, especially with the "f" beside it.

    My Threads shows in the order of last post. However, My forums does not. A completely random selection of topics instead of showing the most recent post at the top.



    And the whole thing looks pretty horrible on android mobile.


    The preview of private messages on the desktop is nice though

    Any hope of getting a more distinct/thicker line between posts on the mobile site? All posts look like they are running into each other.

    One of significant reasons i came to boards years ago - minimal-to-non adds and no link to "them". My personal stand. If it comes to the point where i want "them", i will get my accounts set up "there". But not here, thank you but NO, thank you

    I've added 2 screenshots. One is the new Boards touch site. The other is a Manchester United forum I visit.

    The Boards site is awful for scrolling through comments, it's always just one giant block of white with no obvious dividers between comments. Let your eyes go blurry for a second and it looks like one giant block of text.

    Compare it to the other forum screenshot where it's very obvious where one post ends and another begins.

    Please implement something like this.

    Copy/paste image attachments are neat. But I'd love to use the full page width without zooming in the page on browser. So much wasted space on a 1440p monitor!

    Clicking outside of tabs breaks the page:

    https://imgur.com/FGm5ZTx

    No preview for posts.

    Edit: gif uploads as an image

    Clicking on links asks to go to external site, ctrl clicking or clicking middle mouse button so the link opens directly in a new tab also asks to open external link, too many clicks.

    No preview when editing also, original post shows above the edit which might make larger posts that need editing harder to do so.


    [img]https://i.imgur.com/vcOd9FO.gif[/img]

    embedding not working,


    Edit: gif uploads correctly to imgur but apparently after you click something goes wrong.

    Difficult to see, but it's grey writing on a blue background.

    That breakage has been reported already

    Preview when editing, is this not basically WYSIWYG now i.e. add a pic, see the pic, add a bulleted list, see the bulleted list

    Agree about the annoyance around external links though I am guessing this is a safety thing for less techy users. Its common across most sites these days

    Imbedding images works, remove the tags and use the "Insert Media option", your gif should work then

    Anything beyond 4 "Like" and you cant see who is on the list, again do to spacing/"white" space. Original site looked better in this regard(and other) even if post get 1000 thanks

    Correction: "Like" list expand as height of the post itself

    Where’s Soccer? I’ve seen a few people post that it’s easy to make it visible again without actually saying what you need to do.

    There seem to be a few gaps or missing posts in "bargain alerts" - lots of posts from July 21 on page 1 then suddenly 2014 & 2016 (Tesco bargains etc) then 2021 again.

    When you want to add an emoji the symbol for animals confused me until I figured out it was a moose. I'm guessing thats because vanilla is canadian. Low priority, but changing it to something like a mouse/cat/dog (more generic) would be a small improvement

    This notifications thing is driving me nuts. Now I've got 39 notifications, 36 of which are telling me there are new posts on this thread. I only need one notification of new posts on the thread, not one message for each post. The side effect is that there is one post on a thread that I'm following which is lost in the mass of "+1"s on this thread; and the other two are for that fekkin thread that I unsubscribed from years and years ago. 🤬

    I think I'll have just turn off all notifications until that's sorted out.

    Old boards URL's no longer work and are being flagged as external site links. Clicking on the link just brings you to the homepage, not the post in question
