on my desktop firefox the page numbers on the threads used to go purple for pages I'd seen already, and blue for unseen pages. That doesn't work anymore

fixed that

Can you at least get read of the massive spacing between quotes and regular text? What is it? Quadruple spacing?

And why 10:37pm on Saturday night? I hope you get some time off during the work week! Or have some serious equity.

Seriously though, there is too much spacing. You could at least drop a line or two.

Good point. There should be only one space between quote and border. One space between border and response.

.

Can you also make it so when we click "post message", the website takes us to the thread we posted in and not back to the main forum page? There's something satisfying about seeing your post created and most forums have this feature regardless.

In agreement here.

I just did some work to make things better in IE versions 9 and below. Still some kinks to work out but the "all white" problem should be gone.

Just came back to check on the site, MUCH BETTER. Thanks!

Looks like you put some color in the quote boxes too, they look less garish. Nice work.

I, for one, disagree with you and Malmo. The new look is a major improvement. Sorry.

Agree, new forum format is a big step forward on both phones and traditional desktops/laptops.

Nice work Erik

It looks nice. A bit easier to navigate, while still preserving the same vintage feel to this place that we all know and love.

Still waiting on the AND/OR operators in the search function, though.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

The big change is that it will work better on phones.

I'm sure Weldon will announce an official thread to get feedback from people etc but we just decided to put it up. Everything should pretty much just work as it's supposed to.

It's much much worse on phones. The threads on forums look gigantic, like when your website is malfunctioning occasionally which is what I originally thought this was. It's better on a computer or tablet but about as bad as can be on a phone.

Would LOVE to see the "Like/Recommend Post" option, including who liked and when. For an example of how well this works, go on stock posting board, investorvillage.com and take a look. They have a nice system which gives users the opportunity to PM (private message) each other, recommend posts, screen for user's posts, etc.

I go on LetsRun every day multiple times and read/participate these boards.

Comments?

I like the change. 2005, here we come!

I assume you are not trolling bit the forums are multuple times better on my phone. Before they were impossible to use on a phone.

The changes for desktop are meant to be minor, the main idea was to have mobile friendly pages.

So if you are not trolling can you email me some screen shots or post what type of phone you have.

Thanks.

The preview post button does not work. It just brings you to a page with the LetsRun banner and blue bar at the top, and is completely white the rest of the way down.

Also after I make a post, it just brings me to another blank page.

Preview & post submit should work right now. Thanks.
