Requested changes

[womet]

Ellie is going to work on making the changes we have requested. To make sure we don't miss anything, please post your requests here and I will pass them along to her. Thanks!

[jwright]

Is there a way to link to the next or previous page on the bottom of the screen, or do you have to scroll to the top? If it is the latter, I'd propose adding a link at the end of the thread as well.

Can the bread crumbs be below the ad?

What do you mean by this?

[karinothing]

I would love if it would work on my work computer

[countthestars]

Will we be able to see the first line or two of the post on the app again?

This is my biggest beef so far.

I just posted in the other thread but I'll say it here too. As I'm typing this reply, my text is just scrolling to the right across the page. Is there a way for the system to input natural line breaks as your typing so all of your text is showing up on one screen? The line breaks show up in the final post. It's just a little difficult to type this way.

I'm not sure Ellie can fix that... But there are some suggestions in this post on ML: pandce.proboards.com/thread/122410/oh-disappointed

If a thread is more than one page long, can they put a way to click to the next page at the bottom of the thread as well?

[womet]

WTF, the quote function isn't working for me. Swizz, thanks for clarifying that for me.

[mrshandy]

I'm with Karin. I'm not loving the update. I wish there had been some kind of warning that this might happen.

Yeah, I can't make any changes at work. Sad.

I am not sure what people are saying about the colors. For me the screen is grayish blue and the text is black (at home anyway)

This is the way it showed up for me during the beta period. I was told that it was normal and it would work once we switched to the final. I guess not. :-(

There were actually quite a few warnings, including a sticky that asked everyone to try it out and give feedback.

I'm glad they are asking our opinions now and trying to fix anything that isn't working as well now that it's actually launched.  Thanks Ellie and team!

The color choices are unbearable. Either the white or the dark blue with white writing.
That is so hard on the eyes after hours. Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have the medium/regular blue back with black writing?

I honestly won't be able to stay with it like this.

(I'll try but it will end up giving me a headache. I bet lots of people will end up saying the same. Blogs with dark backgrounds and white writing get followed far less.)

Thanks! 

Weird! It's light gray with black text & blue links on my screen. Similar to the old scheme.

There's also an option under settings or something to change it to a blue background with white text, but it looks awful, so dark! The gray is fine, but blah. It would be nice to have a better option.

[dexteroni]

My only requests that I don't see mentioned here are:

(1) that the extra space be removed if at all possible. A one line post takes up a huge chunk of space.

(2) that the text be a tad larger. I feel like it's smaller and more smashed together and it's less comfortable to read.

I wish I had a screen shot of the old board to compare. Does anyone have one?

And once again, thanks for your efforts on this, Ellie!

On Firefox the 'Next' and 'Previous' links scroll with you down the page.   So if you scroll down the links are with you at all times.

[mskitkat]

Fix the ad to the bottom of the screen instead of having it pop up for the phone version please. It's very distracting to me

[womet]

[mbcdefg]

Please offer the option to hide avatar images.

Ditto the request for the breadcrumbs.

Can the space between posts/threads be tightened up?

I feel like this layout is more obvious than the last one that I'm on a message board. Which I don't mind at home, but I'd like to be more discreet at work.

I like how quickly our concerns are addressed here. Much better than the old place.

Thanks

Here's what I posted in a different thread.

1) I do have a critique for the mobile version (not the app). I know it says who the last reply is from, but could we get the "new" button or at least a post count also?
2) Not so much as a critique but a question. I can check a box next to a post title on the main MM page. Why? What does it do?
3) It's slow as hell and keep's telling me it can't load the page. This is the case on two computers, so it's not just me. :-)

[Deleted]

I didnt even notice the Like Button. I like that!

[doctorsbaby]

I'm not sure if this is just my phone - safari, viewing desktop because I didn't like the mobile version - but everytime I click on a post, a box appears to the left if the new button and I have to click on the post a second time for it to open. It's really annoying to have to click on every post twice to open it.

[Deleted]

I'm on my droid not on the app and there is an ad that is all up in my way. It stays at the bottom except when I scroll then it starts riding up. So annoying! Also, each post's identifying info (like poster's name, avatar, etc takes up and entire screen. Would also like to see post count fur each thread in main page.

[calico]

I would like to see the board at work. I'm one of many who can't change the browser they use or make any type of permissions changes. I was not aware of the beta until earlier in the week, which was basically too late.
