Meh - I like "Customize Quick Links" feature, me. That said, in my everyday online routine, I rely heavily on Google Chrome Bookmarks bar - stretched across the top of my browser (One-click instead of drop-down then click). I was disappointed when I saw the drop-down under "My Forums" instead of a one-click setup.... where the horizontal default TD links are positioned. I think that's where your customized links should live. This assumes other rantards process info like me.

Customized links should go here>>

Sample from my Chrome Bookmark Bar>>

You can customize both set of links. My Forums are in the drop down and Quick Links are across the top.

Not sure if it was a me problem, but the 'my forums' drop down was acting up last night on my iPhone. It has since resolved, but basically the gray background disappeared so the text on the drop down was overlapping the text under the menu.

Overall, I like the new set up.

I get the drop down titled "My Forums", but I can't change the row of quick links at the top...

Like this....

Example: How do I get "Tech" up there in the top row - as a Quick Link option??

ETA: OK - I finally got it to work. Initially, those options weren't available. Not sure why all of a sudden they appeared. I like the new format.

On the current version, I can go to the top of the forum page if I want to go to page 2,3 etc... of that particular forum. On Beta, there are no page numbers at the top of the forum. I have to go to the bottom of the page to go to other pages. Am I missing another way to get to other pages without having to scroll to the bottom of the page every time?

Thanks

Been using the Beta version for a while now - and from someone who really f*cking hates change, it's not all that bad. I like the fact that all of my "favorites" are easily accessible without having to weed through the others. I still haven't messed with the "trending, most recent, etc." - and I probably won't. It's just confusing.

I've been able to cope with only one dose of anti-anxiety meds...probably because I knew I could easily go back to the other version...so, thanks for allowing us to test the Beta version before just implementing it (which would be a total dick move).

The long ad that's suppose to be on the right is now at the top and pushing everything down the page

Since I switched to beta, I don't stay logged in on mobile, every time I leave and come back I am no longer signed in.

Any way we could get the "My Forums" bar to remain at the top of the page? Would be cool to have be able to go to a new board without having to scroll back up.

The trending now algorithm doesn't work, post I made last week is still up there even though it's not a popular post on the gaming board, unless there are a lot of non members looking at it and if so screw them.

algorithm is working as expected. Not a lot of new threads on that board.

Cap crunch, what device are you using? Assuming you are in desktop, when inside a post, you should click the "Back to top" link found inside each post. If on the index, you don't have to go far to get to top.

Making the bar stick to top presents some design issues/decisions we don't want to tackle yet.

Is it me or is Beta faster than Alpha? It seems that it is.

Has the My Forums drop down on Mobile been changed? When I click it this morning it takes me to the bottom of the page and the old style links to forums are there. Just wondering if that was on purpose or a glitch. Doesn't matter either way, just wanted to point it out and ask in case it wasn't intentional.
