Some fonts are quite large (thread titles), but most are normal, just slightly larger than they used to be. I think the font size of posts are the same as they used to be.

And for those that view on mobile, I did push an update last night to tone down some font sizes and reduce avatar sizes. It should be much better for viewing now.

The font size isn’t huge for me, everything else is. The quote button, rep buttons etc.

Not sure the difficulties in rearranging the layout, but also seems bigger because the avatar and post numbers are above the post time vs all on one line (this section also seems huge). So actual posts take longer to scroll to/thru.

Things meant to be tapped on mobile need to be big enough to easily tap or google punishes you. That's why buttons are larger.

I believe the new layout is actually smaller (now with the reduced font sizes) on mobile compared to the old one. You were just used to the old one.

It’s probably the buttons throwing me off. But the post before explained that

I have noticed quotes are pulling in all nested quotes as well. I'm going to fix that tonight, hopefully.

Page Up and Page Down buttons do not work, as well as Up/Down arrow keys.  At least on my box .....  have to use mouse.

You're using these buttons for scrolling? I just tested and it works fine on my end. Up/Down scroll a little, Page Up/Page Down scroll a lot.

Arrows work fine for me, but I do you not have a scroll wheel on your mouse?

For some reason, I have a double scroll bar on the side...so make sure you are inside the thread scrolling. Otherwise, you can only get a single scroll.

Interesting. You shouldn't have a double scroll bar. Does the left sidebar menu stretch out really far for you, then?

What browser/OS do you use?

Yeah, the individual thread links are what causes the second scroll bar. They are spaced a bit, but dont see ridiculous. 

Im using Chrome, btw.

Mac or windows?

Fixed quotes, it'll only include the post you're actually quoting from now on.

It SHOULD look like this. Everything in the left sidebar, from the logo to the forum stats, should always be visible 100% of the time. If it doesn't look like  that the layout is broken for you. 

Anyone else not seeing the site like this on a computer?

The search bar and the left sidebar should NEVER move. If they are, let me know what browser you're in and if you're on a mac or windows.

I see the search bar is all fucked up on Chrome on Windows 10. WTF I HATE WINDOWS. Everything is perfect on Mac.

Testing image uploads. It works. You can now upload from your phone or computer.

One thing I've experienced is that, on a computer, when I tap "last post", it takes me to the top of the last page and I have to scroll down to the last post manually. On phone, it goes to the actual last post. Not a big thing, but something I have noticed.

Which browser are you using on each? For me, it's the opposite because mobile safari is crap and desktop chrome on mac is great.

It is a little fickle; when I go to a new thread the Page UP/Down and Arrow keys will not work unless I go within the margin of the new thread area (white) and click the mouse, then the buttons work. 


Also, hitting latest post does not take me to the last post I read; it goes to the top of the page.


Not a big deal.

I need to know browser and operating system before being able to fix any issues, just an FYI.

I’m having the same issue with the last post just taking you to top of the page (on Chrome)

Also, the timestamps seem to be off. It says the last post by Heretic was today but at 4:45pm (and it’s 2pm right now)
