My only complaint is having to drop down to get to the F&D board.
Click the cog all the way to the right to add the F&D Board to your quick link bar. You won't have to use the dropdown.

Dave,look up at the very top above TIGERDROPPINGS where it says "My Links".At the end there should be "Go to Beta".

Click it.It's a different look.

I like it.

Chicken, I gave it a shot but I don't really care for it.

This place became the greatest message board on the planet with the regular format. It it isn't broke................

The forum link on top right is currently not working on my iPhone in Beta.

It is super convenient and was working last night. Sorry if German.

Balls,


I use strictly mobile as well and on my phone 100% of time if I'm posting..... and when I click the 'Forums' with the hr little down arrow under it that Is located at the top right, it just jumps down to the bottom of the page where the customizable list of all the formus I frequent is located.


Is yours doing that? Or nothing?

Were you wanting a drop down box? Because I don't think it is meant to do that

kind of like the old version better
beta, has some cool features like trending and active but that might over complicate everything. The way it is now is simple, keep shite simple if you want old ppl member retention. Dont over complicate this place

When I posted that, the TD heading was at top of my mobile display with a blank white screen under it when I tried to select OT, 3 times in a row.

When I switched beta off/on the issue stopped. If it happens again, I'll post a screen shot.

Been exclusively using the Beta version, everything works well. I like it better than the current non-Beta system.

Chicken, I've given it a try and I just don't like it. I browse on my phone or tablet 99% of the time on the regular desktop view. I hate not having the board list on the left of the screen. I feel lost without it!

I'm here, but where am I?

The old side bar is redundancy with having the tabs at the top for all the forum links.

Not a fan of the layout at all either. Something about the color placement and banners seemed off balanced.

Features are okay, not definitely not essential. Would much rather new features to be incorporated to the current design as background enhancers rather than up front features.

Yahoo/Google early 2000s comes to mind.

Chicken if you keep anything keep the tool bar at the top. More user friendly on an Ipad than the current format.

The new layout seems like it has taken a step or 2 backwards

I don't mind it. The ad on the right side is better imo as my eyes naturally draw to the left so its more out of the way. The homepage looks awful though. Looks like one of those garbage acc school forum boards that we laugh it. Way too many ads on that page. Also is running slower than the original (I know it's beta but still should note.)
