New Layout!

[sun rise]

Actually I did find something to complain about - the home page has "Comp..." for example which makes some of the items a guessing game How is "Religio" different from "Religio" under Resources and from "Religio" under Interfaith. And so forth. That is more than an annoying change - it gets permanently in the way of finding things from the home page.

The larger up/down buttons are great. Edit works. Now if you could recommend a better keypad than Google's I'll be set.

Biggest improvement I've seen is the comparatively lightening-fast refresh rate and scrolling speed. Huge for this alone.

One request. I like a post that doesn't seem confined. Hence, I always insert a couple of lines at the end and put in a white period to give my post some breathing room at the bottom, like below ⬇ How about doing the same automatically?

Hi Folks..

NICE....V Nice

Kudos to the MOD team for a job well done...

Hey, it's not the mod team... this is all our site owner, Brent.
We mods just try to keep you kids behaving.

Things keep getting worse. Why the **** should 'replies views and last message" take up so much space crowding title into a tiny column?

What screen resolution?

I honestly think this new layout is a complete eyesore. The color scheme is a downgrade, and all these extra lines and boxes and effects are truly headache inducing, it honestly makes me want to come on a lot less.

Excellent work, @Brent W. The site is smoother for me, especially on my phone.

I don't even know how to describe it. Looks like I'll be choosing between migraines and participation.

This. Even on desktop this is my thought exactly.

Brent is the owner?
What did he do with Rex? Do you even know?
Where are his tax returns? How many emails has he deleted, and what do the Russians have on him?

Rex is still here. I just handle the day to day.

Makes sense to make it more mobile friendly, especially that the percentage of internet users on mobile and tablets are now higher than on computers.

I am on my PC right now but I sometimes browse the site on my tablet when I'm in bed.

Yeah, and I can't even pinpoint why. Everything's just all over the place and the color scheme seems like weird. So frustrating! Like here making a post things seem normal, maybe the screen just looks too busy now? I really have no idea, but it makes me queasy.

Unless I'm sick... I sure hope not.

Maybe that's it.

Hey, now that you're revamping things, do you plan to improve posting quality?
My have been even poorer than usual lately.

Harrumph!
'Tweren't broke, why'd ya fix it?

 

[lovesong]

Maybe that's it.

I'm going with the brightness of the color scheme, the extra lines, boxes, and effect, and also the increased font size. The bigger font size actually makes it a lot harder to read.

I literally count at least ten separate boxes with noticeable lines at once. And it's almost like the font is... thinner.

Yes, the boxes are the worst part in my opinion. They make threads much harder to navigate, so much so that it makes browsing a chore rather than a pleasure.
