A few things I noticed right off the bat: anonymous login is missing, the Twitter-esq ##.#k post count is poo-poo, and I have a moderator badge even though I have limited powers only withing the TI subs. Yes, I'll look at what happened to anonymous login, I'm sure I can update the post count so it's not abbreviated like that, and I'll look at the badge you're talking about. Just now, OLD CS1 said: I like how quoted posts are now abbreviated so ridiculously large pictures do not fill up the screen when quoted. I am hoping that affects not just pictures but also long verbose posts. Yes, it doesn't matter, it should always abbreviate quotes like that. And, yes, that's a feature that should have been implemented long ago. Just now, OLD CS1 said: Great work @Albert! Now, try to get some sleep. I woke up briefly to see how things are going, but after I catch up on emails I am definitely getting more sleep! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Everything is definitely snappier, but my aging eyes are not a fan of the smaller fonts. Easily enough remedied on the desktop by zooming in, but I'm not sure on mobile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I may set them back to the size they were on the previous version of the forum, this wasn't really done intentionally. I know some people like the smaller font size. I don't personally like it, probably for the same reason as you! It would be nice if this was a user-adjustable setting, but alas, it is not. ..Al 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMNSHO, you should not have to strain to read a web page more than you would do for a book. I get frustrated with people who full-screen everything, winding up with 12-point font spread out over a 2,000-pixel wide screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is a bit to clump together dark themes and bigger font. Are you limited to 3 themes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Hi Al. Nice to see Atariage back and running! In Android I saw the post title has no margin to the left. The user icon is too tiny and the joysticks almost extend to half-width. Edited August 10, 2022 by nanochess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Just signing in for 1st time. I've noticed the deflection theme really horizontally squishes the site, whereas the default theme lets the content go full width. Can this be changed? I can't use the white theme - I have really bad floaters in my eyes and the bright white makes reading painful. I'm also echoing what others have said about the font size being a tad small (that's not a huge deal, I can always just zoom). Thanks for all the work on the forums! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably we need to create completely new icons for the rank levels, as Invision has changed them to be square graphics, which obviously does not work with the rank graphics we created a long time ago! ..Al 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally it goes away if you click in a blank area on the screen. Now it works normally after allowing invisioncic.com. When it isn't allowed, the welcome to the updated forum is not there and when you click on notifications, you get a new screen instead of a pop up. Just weird little things.
