Do you like the new board? What do you like about it? What do you hate?

I am having a hard time seeing the site. It is too bright and the letters are too thin and small. Not sure if that is changeable at all.

Have you tried dark mode?

Click the "Light" button at the lower left of your screen.

Dark mode - I'm lovin' the dark mode guys!

I had trouble seeing the light mode no matter what I did. I tried the dark mode for a day and I haven't switched back. The white on grey is perfect for me.

Much better. Thanks.

Tablet user here. I'm still shooting in the dark to some extent. I've managed to insert quotes, pictures and videos but I did it by guesswork, so the next time I have to experiment all over again. Also the on-screen keyboard makes it a bit congested. It's like carrying an overloaded tea tray--one false move and I could lose the lot.

​

So I copy all the bits to my clipboard and assemble it offline, typing in the BB code stuff, then paste it back in to the reply box. There's an icon like an SD card that says "save/delete draft", which looks like it's intended for that sort of thing, but I haven't worked it out yet. A green dot appears when I tap it, but I don't know what's supposed to happen next. Another puzzle is the eraser, which also doesn't seem to do anything.

On the plus side, we can now do rows and rows of horizontal lines!

I love not having to try to click on that tiny blue arrow to get to the newest posts in a thread. With my shaky hands, it's easier to click on an entire link to get there.

But: do I like the old one better?

 

[PalacePaul]

Sure the "ignore" thing works amazing
I also like having the old smileys along with the new emojis

 

[belamyi]

What I do like is that editing is much smoother

That's something

Glad things are better. I was told this board could never be upgraded so I am happy we are here.

That seems pretty much like common unintentional reverse appraisal and praise.

So many people seem to love the dark background and the ignore feature. It's like everyone wants to sit in the dark and not have to listen to anyone.

I don't get that dark mode/theme craze being sold everywhere as if it were some sort of 3-D revelation.

Dark room mode/theme.

I prefer light mode (change settings under preferences)

 

[belamyi]

Maybe they have too much light around?
In my case, most of my lighting comes from the screen... not today but, usually, there is such a damn blinding light outside...

 

[belamyi]

But generally it's shit even for the smallest tasks. Right now I am having trouble posting a link in another thread because the editing bar hasn't dowloaded properly, and if you ever need to cancel, the draft is stuck there forever, no matter how many times you refresh, or go back or even close the damn window.
I am aware my computer might have something to do, but the thing is that the site's software seems too heavy for whatever might be considered too light and nimble a piece of hardware. So you need to keep bloating at pace with the site, just like with everything else, from debt to whatever, in this Americanized globe
Still, as I have posted above, going to old shit does not seem like a desirable option either...

^ Because one is supposed to post the abortive thing, then destroy it by "deleting" it-. Great improvement in agility and flexibility

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Like it! Better than the old one!

 

[belamyi]

Just not better enough... there was so much to improve
