Reading the Historic reissue threads with this new forum software

[JimmyAce2006]

I can see some improvements.

* Most things look a little more clear.

* The return of the Like button is nice.

But I have to say there are a lot of things I do not like.

* There is not enough separation between posts. Just a little dotted line. It looks like the posts run together. Makes it hard to read.

* And in the list of threads in a particular area, there are stickies at the top. But I don't see an icon or anything to distinguish them from other posts. Again, making it annoying, hard to follow. This is annoying in the classifieds section.

* My avatar is blurry. I have tried several different HD pics, and they are shown as too small and very blurry.

What is your experience here in the Historic & Reissues area?

Looks OK to me. Like everything it will take some getting used to. One thing I like, besides the like, is that it's not do jumpy. After they added the ads a few months ago you'd go to click on something on mobile and all of a sudden it would jump causing you to click something you didn't want to.

It also exactly like strat talk and tgp except black instead of white

 

[JimmyAce2006]

I think I like the old one better.

There is also an option for Mobile or desktop in the bottom left corner

That is cool. Though I rarely get on here with my phone.

 

[Crotch]

Ah. I'm just the opposite. About 75 % phone

There's enough separation between posts on my S7. Stickies have a pin on the right side.

I like this new layout more with my phone. I just wish they made the new thread button stick out more. Maybe give it a burst finish.

@Crotch, I like TGP dark.

It will take a little getting used to, but I think I like it.

I agree with the first post, better separation between posts, needs better feature ID, (icons) and my avatar is looking pretty poor right now...Also better contrast would help...(without adjusting my monitor

Maybe there are some bugs to work out?

I think it looks good for the most part....

For some reason it's loading a little slower on my PC. Don't know why? Obviously the layout is a little foreign to me but I'm getting used to it. Yeah, like the like feature back.

Haven't checked on my S7 yet. I'm usually on my Samsung Tab, and is working well. No more of that jumping, with the old software, and ads.

I think everybody has one (or more) features they miss. For me its the page count in lengthy threads that used to show up in parens. Now I have to look at the view count which isn't so convenient. But there is a lot if new functionality that I really like.

Love the new UI! It's clean and easy to read and it's great on a mobile device

 

[Slater529]

This is the same forum software that a couple of my other favorite sites use, so this feels VERY familiar. Navigating around is a breeze. I LOVE it!

I love XenForo. It's modern, quick as hell, stable and efficient.

It's just a matter of time to being used to the change.

Nice move admins! Thanks!

Looks great on the iPhone....

the adds are slowing it down on both PC and iphone, the Premium member status did not remove ads to the side bar, top or bottom.

The site "reloads" itself every so often, making reading a lost post pretty frustrating at times. nothing like the screen refreshing mid sentence.....its like someone turning the page for you mid sentence....

Definitely don't like it. Very generic feeling.

 

[PierM]

Ok I've a couple of issues with the new forum update;

I do have a premium account but I'm still getting ADs all around the page, which is a bit of a pain.
In the main view, when you see a thread lists, you can't click on the date to be linked to the last post, as I usually did in the past. I now need to enter the thread and browse until last page and last post.

Liking the site on my phone.
