Let's try out our new mobile-friendly design! - Page 3 - About the Forums

To be clear, I'm referring to the arrows on the other themes. I don't think they currently exist in this theme - that's where you're currently using the number of posts instead. But if you were able to bring those arrows back, and make them bigger, that would be ideal.

Infraction and IP buttons are the first things that come to mind. On other themes, they're bottom left below the avatar, next to the online/offline "light" and report post button.

The added arrow for first unread works great!

The button that opens the first unread post in a subscribed thread is gone.

Am Idoing something wrong? When I open a thread I can't see any posts. I've probably missed something obvious!

I've tested on a couple of versions of Chrome including the newest one and it worked as expected. To be able to locate the problem I'm gonna need some additional info from you.

Could you tell me your browser version ?
Can you access 2+2 from a desktop computer or a laptop and check if the page loads correctly under the new theme?

The version of Chrome is 95.0.4638.74

If I log on a desktop computer I get the same issue of not being able to see posts (this is using Firefox):

All seems fine using the test account:

Above is on desktop but I've tried on mobile as well and all fine.

I will have to think about this problem. For now, can't seem to figure out what settings on your account can cause this.

There is an option "Thread Layout" in the Settings and for now there's a bug and it doesn't work if you choose "top" instead of "left" for Thread Layout. I'll fix it tomorrow.
And thanks Darchas for bringing this bug to my attention.

I agree with this. I prefer the old layout for PC, but it's trash on mobile.

Also, am I missing something or is there no way to tell if a post is unread?

I clicked the "Change back" link, and I got this error message:

Kokko, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I use Opera 80.0.4170.63
on Desktop.

I just made the account, and activated it. 10 minutes or so ago.

Even when I go back to old mode, there is now a control panel always open to the left. Why is that?

Other modes don't have the list of forums to the left.

If you never use on a mobile phone, what does the new forum get you?

edit: somehow the control panel does eventually disappear. Still not sure benefit overall of the change.

I do like the Slick dark mode.

On a desktop it's just your preference which theme to choose. New theme doesn't have new features. New features will come with a new platform that will be developed in a not so distant future.

Cheers.

Thank you for fixing it! I'm just some relic from another time who prefers old style operating systems, old style Reddit and in general old style space-effective web-pages, so you shouldn't take it as criticism.

Seems fine only thing I don't like is that it's so bright. Please darken the colors a bit to match the old layout.

The new desktop version I see today is nice. One thing I notice that is different is when not looking at the subscribed threads section and looking at a regular section like NVG or LV lifestyle, etc, there is no marker by the threads that you are subbed to.

Not sure if its a big deal, just something I have been used to for years.

Overall, I like the new format on mobile better than the old version. But the ability to use different color text in posts is really, REALLY critical in POG, which I think is still one of the highest-volume fora on the site.

Is there any chance of getting that functionality sometime soon?

I appreciate that you're trying to improve the site but I think the original layout is one of its greatest assets and find the new one very clunky (not just because it's different). Will the original version be supported for the foreseeable future? If not and the new layout becomes the only option I will personally be using 2p2 a lot less.
