The colour of the quote and the response are the same making it hard to read posts. It's difficult to differentiate between the two and you can't easily tell where the post begins. Also I have to use this dark thing to be able to see. Needs some tweaking I think.

Why? Had no problems before other than slow during peak times, change for the sake of change is just stupid, don't quit your day jobs.

Kind of same feeling as the last transition. Similar yet a bit less functional at first sight. Give me a week and I won't even remember it wasn't always like that and won't care. They've already changed the colors of the tags no ? Anyway it already feels OK this morning.

This was HF at its peak imo. I miss seeing that blue box every morning.

P.S. One thing I will give the new design is that it's super convenient to be able to cut and paste images from your clipboard instead of having to host them elsewhere first. Or maybe you've always been able to do that and I'm just stupid.
Talk about a blast from the past! Its like seeing a picture of an old friend.

It's not "change for the sake of change". HF operates on Xenforo, and prior to the update, they operated on a version of the framework that wasn't maintained nor updated anymore. Operating on an abandoned framework is never a good thing to do.

The mobile experience is poor, IMO. (at least on my android/chrome combo)
What don't you like about it? I did hate it at first because of the notification bar missing. But it's seemingly been added so now I can look at some of the positives... like being much quicker and more snappy.

Small gripe but its bothersome that the large font is nice on desktop and unbearable on mobile wish we can tune the settings for both individually ( asking for alot i know but i liked it perfectly before)

I like the notification bell moving back where it was before.

Dark mode just got better by subbing the red for blue.

Well, I’m no longer being bombarded by ads from every angle on mobile, and the thread no longer refreshes at random intervals while I’m trying to write a comment. So that’s a plus.

The colors all blend together. The blue on gray at the bottom to switch page is nearly invisible in dark mode.

I kept a page from back then, I look at it when I'm depressed. :laugh:

A few tweaks here wouldn't hurt. Like, why call it dark mode, it's more like grey mode. Tone it down closer to charcoal, like in Windows explorer dark mode. It would make the red stand out more. And slightly grey out the old text in replies. Same with the thread headers on the main page, would make it easier to tell read from un-read. The bold and regular fonts are very similar.

Otherwise, it runs well, and we'll see if the Live function behaves tonight.

Somewhere on earth in a hospital
They fixed the issue about HFboard logo which was annoying
Also removed you had to click on conference to see which team to click.
They really need to change that like/quote system like it was before. It's confusing and badly updated when you ahve one.
Live GDT are annoying like @OldCraig71 said , Sometime you read and it auto scroll down.
The dark mode should be black and not grey.
