Ok we're on the new refresh look and there's a lot of stuff to fix! List them!

[WWIII]

Browsing now with my sunglasses on it is better! I think the shade of white is just a touch bright and overpowers a bit. I know the "old" setup had a lot of white as well, which I don't mind, but it may just be a tad bright?

Guess I'll chime in too... I mostly like the new look, but it does seem a bit brighter and overall bulky. I wish the online stats and new post column on the right was not shown while actually in a thread. Home page is fine, but that eats a lot of room in a thread.

Also not sure if has something to do with the new badges, or if it's because of how some people have their signatures formatted, but some single sentence posts take up over half my monitor...

I think the new font isn't helping... new grey vs old black. The lighter font seems to make it harder on the eyes IMO at least.

We're working through the list!

Not really important, but I'm noticing just about everyone has a 1k post badge regardless of post count...

Icons are gone! Banners back.

On a positive note, I really like how the titlebar/menubar at the top with the buttons Home/Forums/What'sNew/Articles buttons stays locked on the top row when scrolling the page. Pretty sure it wasn't like this before? Happy camper over here.

Guy/Gals, This is a major up date from Xenforo from 1.5.x to 2.1.x
Xenforo is stopping support for 1.5 soon so David had to do something sooner or later. Well it's sooner... lol

With the update many of the Themes and styles can't carry over. Some of the devs may not have even updated their work to be compatible with the new version. I'm sure what we're seeing now is just slightly customized beyond vanilla stock with just a basic theme added. Give David and his team some time to get the site customized the way they want it. There's a lot to learn and a lot of new features available now. It's a lot of work.

@revhtree congrats on making the jump. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with now that you're on the latest and greatest. You're going to be living in the dev site for a long time!

Thank you so much Rev. I'm being dead serious that banners are my life here. LOL

I actually like this change, adds color. I hate to get picky, but could you round off the edges of the badges, it would give it a smoother feel to it.

New plan! We're going to leave banner but just tweak them to look a little nicer. Nothing crazy!

That looks much better already Rev!

When you press the ‘like’ buton shouldn’t it stay white, instead of changing back to blue so you know you’ve pressed it ?

I'm liking the look of these new banners!

Yes. Mobile browser gives you all of the functionality of the site. The app is good for some things, but it's tapatalk based, and their software hasn't been updated to include all of the current software functions (and by "current," I mean the last several years). For example, things like polls don't work in the app.

I've been doing it wrong! Thanks for the info!

 

[jschultzbass]

Any way to get rid of banners and add Icons? HAHA just kidding
Honestly though I'm surprised so many people hated the icons. There was just a poll not long ago asking and people seemed to like the icons.

 

[SandJ]

For me, the banners are a little overwhelming in the threads. On my phone, i can only see two post at a time.

 

[Dustinc1983]

Banners are better! (Not that I have any...) maybe bring down the font size just a little ? New feel looks great though

 

[Entz]

Thank you for changing back to banners. Far easier to recognize and is classic R2R imo.
I like the fact that the menu stays put now.

+1 for better colors or a dark mode.

The width seems off? Like "Locations: XXX" are wrapping. It might of did that before but I didn't notice due to font/sizing differences? Going to use @SPR1968 as an example
.

an overall % width boost may not be bad anyways?

Overall awesome!

 

[Billldg]

Looks like all the MOD’s left, they figured they will let @revhtree deal with this and will come back in a couple of weeks,LOL!!!

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Adapt or Die. If you dont understand this, you do not survive.

Nice move @revhtree , we must always move forward. I am excited to find out what's new, but my to-do list isnt gonna like me on the forum all day.

Congrats and good luck ironing out the wrinkles David.

Love the emoji reactions! No need reply to share a laugh. Nice work.
