We've made some improvements to the forums. Discuss here

How come identical adds pop up not only in the right margin, but also between the posts. My screen on Chromebook was covered 30% with the ads at one point.

Hi Sam,

They are just trying to reign it in a bit, and limit the attacks on one person or point of view.

And all you have to offer is yet another personal attack. What a worthwhile contribution.

That's what you do on here every single day.

Just go away.

Wow. Good work!

You have mastered a constant whining noise. Nothing else.

True, but reign is what trump wants to do. The brojos are reining in the trolls.

You are the master of the whining noise on LRC.

You are useless and annoying.

The improvements are lost on me.

I bet you say that to all the grown ups.

I have a question- I've emailed a couple times and haven't gotten a response:

When I log on to reply I get a message to change my password. But, I can't figure out how to do that!

How do I change my password!!???

Its awesome that the blojos start a thread asking for suggestions, but then delete any actual suggestions that might be even slightly critical.

These are good technical changes but it is obvious they don't want to do anything to stop the racism and sexism here.

I'm sure they will act all offended and defensive about that, but the track record speaks for itself.

Once again if there are posts you do not like, use the report a post feature, email us or call us. It is amazingly easy to reach us or get a post removed. We don't claim to read every post or that you won't read something you disagree with or even find offensive. Happens to me all the time.

Sidetracking this thread is not the purpose of it. The only post removed that is anyway related to what you are alleging is one like this, "

Are you going to let Rojo continue to troll the boards by starting threads on racially inflammatory topics?"

I am using an HP Elitebook (which is auto-scaled to 150% - many new windows computer are), at the 1920x1080 resolution. I have about 2 inches of whitespace to both sides while using Google Chrome. Have not checked other browsers . I think the hard settings on forum sizes to allow for ads is really going to mess with different resolutions.

Not a fan of all the new white space.

For those complaining about the white space, press CTRL and tap the "+" key. The text will get bigger and the white space will mostly disappear. To make it completely disappear, press CTRL and tap the "+" key again.

To reverse the process, press CTRL and tap the "-" key.

I like the ban on posting with multiple handles on the same thread.

Users should not have to incredibly zoom in their browser to make one website work. The next website you go to in the same session will retain those zoom settings you just made. I think it's worth doing some UX testing on different resolution and system settings, different browsers on different resolutions. Desktop vs tablet/mobile is only one piece of the puzzle. At least the old forum scaled correctly no matter what resolution you were looking at it on - the UX was consistent.

What you don’t get is that this is a legitimate question. It’s very telling that not only have you never served but that you won’t answer this question

Given that many people have balked at the whitespace, we've made a change to set the max-width of the page, including sidebar ads, to 1500px, from 1280px.

The ads on the right sidebar max out at 300px. This means a maximized browser on a 1920x1080px screen -- a common desktop monitor size and somewhat common laptop size -- would have 1200px of straight-up content, and 300px of ads.

I think this is a nice compromise.

People using adblockers will still have asymmetrical whitespace on the right side. Solution: turn off the adblocker.

For benevolent dictators, you guys really *are* benevolent! Excellent changes. Well done. I don't even have your upgraded version yet, but I am really happy that you have been doing this.
