New Forum Design
- Thread starter Thread Summary
- Start date
I'm surprised to say this, but I vastly preferred the old design. The new design has too much whitespace, and fonts are bigger, which together means a LOT more scrolling. Also, extremely hard to click on the tiny blue dot beside the thread's subject to jump to the "new unread" messages to pick-up from where I left off.
I don't understand why people keep saying they have to click the blue dot. Just clicking the link takes me to the latest unread. Browser?
I think they might need to just mark all forums as read first. Then they can use the link. Before marking as read to rebase things, the link wouldn't take me to the newest post.
We are absolutely working on how we can improve the above (where we believe there is improvement to be made.
I pretty much never hit that button on purpose - ever, since joining TMC. So if that's your best workaround, it's not useful to at least some of us.
Yeah. I typically never use it either but since every thread was wrong, I caved in and pushed the button.

I was in the same boat. Sadly, it was the only option since my "Watched Threads" had stuff that wasn't updated in months

So, people's signatures don't show up unless you're logged in and you have the option checked to show signatures in preferences. Why aren't they shown to guests anymore? Also, links are disabled in signatures. So, if you had a link in your pre-update signature and want to keep it, don't edit your signature.
I'm trying to give this forum a shot, really... anything I can do to help with features? heh

Lot's of complaining here. I think we need some levity... Don't laugh too hard because this is the kind of stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis. Everyone think's they're a designer

I like the "New" comment on the right. Helps me scan the recent comments since I last read the thread.
Overall the performance is definitely better, and I thank Doug/Danny et al for all their hard work and sleepless nights. However, I too am finding the layout and color choices to be pretty poor. A lot of these issues could be solved with user-selectable themes.

Still on the fence. It will take time to re-learn how to 'use' TMC for lack of a better term but I also thank you all for your hard work.

In case people coming to this thread wouldn't have seen @wk057's post

It takes some getting used to, but it's a lot quicker. I think the whitespace, text, formatting, etc issues can be tweaked in the template, so I'm less concerned about those.
Regardless, I will still say thank you to doug/danny for putting the effort into the redesign.

I've been tooling around on revising the styles behind the forum this afternoon to make it a minimum viable product from my eyes. If you haven't taken a look at this thread: Forum stylesheets
...you might want to. By using style sheet overrides, you can make things better temporarily until Danny and Doug get something better worked out. Take a look at my screenshots at the bottom of pg 1 in the thread.

The Florida sub-forum one worked for me. Other one is indeed broken though.
Can't you just update the link to
Florida Tesla Enthusiasts (FTE) club sign-up page
To change it just hover over your little avatar icon in the top right and click on "Signature".
