The “latest posts” is on every page so the width of the posts is too thin imo. I would prefer no “latest posts” widget because we have the “new posts” button already. Using on iPad.

Also, I notice we've still got all those off topic subforums about guitars and music on this politics forum.

[Stiman]

I'm a fan.

You have to wait for version 3.01b for all this "music" stuff to get automatically deleted.

I also notice we still have the trove of dreadful old emojis that you have to scroll past. A choice that certainly no-one will complain about.

New site looks gross and IS STILL SLOW AS FUCK! Jesus, learn to code...

Edit: Also, why is the actual post font grey and the signatures a lighter shade? Looks confusing af.
Edit2:
Edit3: BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL COOL EMOJI FFS!
Edit4: Also, I'd like to state that I'm just joking here. I mean, I'm genuinely not impressed by these updates especially if the core problem (server/connection issues) isn't fixed. But I know I'll get used to the new design in two weeks like with any other site that decides to freshen up.

@LostTheTone Speak for youself, lol. The old emojis are the real shit.

I for one like that it's easier to read my signature than this post. I don't think enough attention can be drawn to funny Swedish words that sound like minge.

If I want my daily Swedish lesson then I'd just go back to high school, lol.

Oh shit son, är du från Sverige?

I have to ask that because the new fucking forum doesn't show people's location anymore, so I don't know if I'm talking to someone from Bumblefuck WY or Linköping two miles away from where my wife grew up.

I take back what I said earlier. Everything is different, therefore dreadful. Except the emojis, which are unfathomably the same and so still dreadful.

Nej, jag kommer från Finland så jag måste läsat Sverige som det är officiel språket här i Finland. Or something like that:

I can still see the location. It says you're from South east England so I wonder if it's a bug if you can speak Swedish.

Why are everyone's avatars different?

I am pressing X for my moomin brother. I resist learning more Svensk so I never have to speak to my mother in law.

Maybe the location thing is just me. My phone is just Android, on Brave browser. But then my phone is also a Unihertz Titan that makes a lot of apps freak out because they can't decide if it's a giant phone with a square screen or a tiny tablet with a square screen.

Notes so far:

- Round avatars are cancer
- Needs a bit more contrast between the text and background
- Actually, the theme as a whole needs a bit more contrast
- The font in the typing field is a notch too small
- Not enough distinction between posts and signatures
- Did they remove the list function?

The “latest posts” is on every page so the width of the posts is too thin imo.

I absolutely agree.
This is an important issue. The narrowing of all posts just to have the uselessness of 'latest posts' on every ***king page is a very bad change. Screen width is precious.
Admins, please attend to this if possible, thanks.

I agree that the font in the posting field is too small.
... and that the fashionable round avatars are bad, they remove the corner sections of the original images. But, we might be stuck with them.

Huge amounts of new emoticons, lots of potential for fun and creativity with these.

 

[Seabeast2000]

I just found out SSO's guitar requirements also apply to this site.

Screen width is precious.

Eh, debatable. I believe having the text span the whole width of the screen is considered bad and I don't think there's anything wrong with the new width. Assuming you mean standard landscape screen.
That being said, it disappears way too late when testing resizing the window. It shouldn't be there on a vertical screen IMO.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Why the fuck is my page covered in ads now. This sucks.

Weird, I have 0 ads when I'm logged in.

New site is shiny and chrome. We'll get used to it. Earth keeps spinning.

Edit:
Location still shows up fine on Firefox on Android.
Signatures still non-existent on Android.
No performance issues so far.
Agree, round avatars suck and whoever started that trend online should go to jail.

Contributor status has always come with a no/less ad experience.

 

[CanserDYI]

Shit how does one become a contributor? Can i donate a few bucks or something? Jeeeez this never used to give me ads, now I have one every 3 posts and 3 along the side bar above the Latest Posts.

EDIT :Idk who did it but there are no more ads? That's cool? Thanks?
