Also why is the preview function now a white post instead of a dark post?


Yes, I know that sounds racist.

But the dark preview post was good for testing out transparent png and gif images. That being said, this change isn't really a big deal though.

Which is too much, IMO. It looks a little sloppy.


It looks very sloppy.

The arrows should be closer together, but slightly larger.

They cannot be too close for iPad and iPhone desktop users.

Anyone browsing the desktop version of the site on a screen less than 8" is going to be zooming in on specific areas anyway, which effectively eliminates the need to implement design alterations to cater to that minority.

Under that logic, though, there are numerous elements of the site that are far too proximal to one another to ensure optimal functionality on a mobile device. For example, the Facebook and Twitter icons at the bottom right of every OP are closer to one another than the upvote/downvote arrows used to be, yet the spacing between them hasn't been changed. Additionally, the forum listings on the left side of the website are stacked far too compactly for effective navigation on a small screen, yet the spacing hasn't been increased there either.

I think most people are just a bit bewildered that design alterations are being applied to the entire site simply to make it slightly more convenient to a minority of users, all while tarnishing its aesthetic design.

Whenever I make a post and click return to board, the "new" indicator tag doesn't work and has practically disappeared despite the board looking completely different and new thread titles at the top as opposed to the last time I looked at it.

yup same here

The facebook and Twitter buttons are not clicked nearly as much as the up/down arrows.

Accidentally clicking a wrong board is not as bad as devastatingly clicking the wrong up/down arrow.

Please let me know who is bewildered by the up/down arrows separating by a relatively few pixels. I would like to make note in their file.

All I can see for the last few days on my Dell laptop is one screen worth in each thread. No ability to scroll down.

Getting that view on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I'm back to not seeing upvotes and downvotes on replies.
Now this occurs on this board, OT lounge board, but not on SEC Rant board.
Same issue using tablet and phone. Both are Androids.

Thread titles are no longer underlined on Help Board. I'm sure you know that already though
