I like it, just wish there was a night mode. I've played around with the new functionalities and it's so much better than the old platform. Also, I enjoy the minimalistic look. This is what a forum should look like in 2017. Quite the jump from a 2003 platform.

Way too much white. Also the “mobile” version, if you want to call it that, is garbage.

I will still be here but not on my phone for sure.

It's desperately necessary to facilitate embedding of media. Ain't nobody use yt tags or tweet. You should just copy and paste a link.

On the negative side, why do I have to go through metropolitan and then scroll through washing Capitals to post? At least for mobile, you have to go through a maze just to get here. Silly.

Shouldn't take long to find everything. Bugs still being worked out. Not really thrilled with the "white white and more white" background, which I'm hearing from a lot of people. Needs more separation of posts/items.

Remember to email support if you have issues.

This new site layout and forum is bullshit

It took me 5 minutes just to fugure out how to log in on the mobile version.

It's fine so far. I like the likes. I don't like that it shows user icons on the thread lists, but it's not a deal breaker.

What are you talking about? This site is actually useable on mobile now.

Something seems off with the gap on the right

Meh so far. Via Firefox I feel like there is a lot wasted space. The users details box on the left side eats up an awful lot of vertical space on short posts, and the right side is unused - meanwhile screens are wider than ever. We don't need to see trophy points detailed for every user. Yay 50 posts per page option is back! I assume the 1K post limit is gone, yeah what a pain in the ass for mods. Speculation thread MXVIII.

The puffs ad on mobile it getting old. Advertisers don't realize that some of us will avoid products that are held in front of their face. And I don't even know what Coir Fiber Grow Media is.

Interesting, no profanity filter?

You still can't say shit like f*** but it's been rolled back some. lol

We actually had a long, in depth mod discussion about many of the rules during the re-write. I came up with a first draft and we did a little tweaking here and there with an intent to ease up on the filter and some piddly crap like memes and emojis. Wasn't expecting the s-bomb to make it through, hahah


Also, regarding the theme/white, a chrome skin is out

use at your own risk as I haven't vetted this but someone said it looks good

I'm sure I'll come around to it, the same way I eventually come around to every computer/console/tablet/phone operating system update that "improves" things by needlessly complicating the simple/day-to-day fundamentals, adding a lot of bells and whistles that I don't care about, and creates a ton of useless white space for a "cleaner" look.

Being able to collapse the posters details would make me a happy camper.

It actually looks like the nhl.com scoreboard, a ton of white space, White space is secret code for wasted space. Did you ever think you would spend so much of your life, scrolling?

Perhaps its time to adjust the mouse wheel line scroll setting.

And I don't need to see my advartar to the left of where the reply box is. I actually know its me!

Yeah it feels like there should be a settings option to collapse a lot of stuff, but so far, I don’t see it.

Everybody deleting out stuff out of their profile kills white space - let's do this! :propeller

Location, home page, occupation... maybe heavy posters with that info on display to the left, can move it to the 'other notes' 'about me' section of their profile.

Example @CapitalsCupFantasy can chip in by deleting "http://" out their home page profile, and save us all 1 line of white space until the end of time.

Mobile actually looks pretty good to me. Don’t like the desktop version.
