I'll have to check it out on a real computer tomorrow, but I can already tell it absolutely blows away the old mobile experience. No more nightmarish experience trying to read this website on an iPod Touch.

I've been accessing arfcom from a phone for the past 4 years, and on an iTurd for the past 9 months, and this is so much better.

Love the new quote feature, but some of the main tabs across the top need to come back. I used to be able to hop from general to industry to hometown etc. in a single click. Now it takes extra clicks and some scrolling. Noticeably less streamlined.
Also, WTF is happening with our avatars, and how to we fix it? |

Just hover over the three bar icon in the top corner of the screen. Has all the forums right there to click on. Avatar size requirements changed. Hover over the little person icon, click change avatar and use the editor there to upload your avatar again. It will automatically resize to the new size. |

I use those a lot and it's really annoying. 2nd Problem is that everything is way to big. Checking in user settings I see font sizes of regular/large/extra large. I want extra small/small. Everything is WAY too big. Might as well add a third. Something about the new layout is giving me a headache. I'm hating the new layout.

New tool to help you make your new avatar (if it's just static) in your profile section. Mouse over menus are still only 1 click and the sticky menu (shows up as you scroll down) keeps everything 1 click away. |

The old layout was much faster to navigate, this looks like Fischer Price Web Design...I hope you didn't actually pay for any license or web design work 'cuz its bad, really bad.
Back end upgrades are always an understandable necessity, but a complete replacement on the front is rarely needed or good. |

This -- used to see 20 or so threads when looking at a subforum, now I see 13, with no additional information. Spacing between lines (especially within a thread entry) is way too big. If the thread title field could be narrowed and make room for the last poster to share the same line as the last post date then single page threads would take only a single line and substantially improve the issue. 1920x1080 resolution here. ETA: Also there has always been an issue where end-quote tags would automatically be followed by extraneous line breaks. Replying immediately after the quote tag (without leaving an extra line break) would leave one empty line break after the quoted text. Now doing that still seems to leave 3 or so blank lines making posts unnecessarily long/large on screen. |

But I guess its better than a sharp stick in the eye. Flag theme engaged so maybe it will grown on me. But I do appreciate the effort it takes to do this. |

At lease change from color of folder icons with new posts from poop brown back to yellow. WAY easier to scan through the EE the old way. |

Quote HistorySomething about the new layout is giving me a headache. I'm hating the new layout. Same here. This hurts my eyes. I think it's the black - brown - black - brown bars on the page. The top half is hard to look at because of the brown parts being so disjoint. And everything looks so big. I thought I had a display issue that was causing it to render in crappy resolution, like another user said. |

I noticed that if I hit my subscriptions tab, then hit the green arrow it takes me to an older part of a thread, happened on every thread in my subs.
For example I clicked on the U Laugh U Lose thread, green arrow dumped me roughly in the middle of that thread, not where I left off |

Not a big fan of how the subscriptions work. It is now just a jumbled mess, as before it was broken down into subforums. EE sub forum is not in the down menu either. |
