[article=669] Please take a minute to check out the welcome post along with a quick help/tour of the main layout changes. Remember that we will continue to work on things, so be patient and give things a chance. There may be things you love and things you hate, and I'll listen to all feedback and ideas. Just try to word it in a polite manner.

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. |

Just try to word it in a polite manner. Looks like a lot of work. (good part) 2 things I hate so far No buttons for subscribed/active threads w/o using drop down menu. 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. |

Do we have a test forum we can point people towards so they don't clog up GD with a bunch of threads testing stuff?
I thought we did but I can't find it. |

Wow, I just clicked from page to page in a thread and all of a sudden, the colors and layout were different. I was like. WTF?! Then I saw the link to this thread. lol
Looks good, GB. |

OK, so I looked at the quick help guide and I think the problem is that I'm just not seeing any of that stuff on my screen. I seem to be stuck on the mobile site maybe? Except that my url is just the normal ar15.com, and I have tried pressing the "view full site" button in the drop down menu in the corner but nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? This is what my screen looks like atm (laptop): Attached File |

If you want to switch to the full site on a mobile device, it's an option in the menu. (To go back to mobile you need to look for the link in the footer of the normal site. It will only show up for those in mobile who choose full site view.) |

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. |
Left-handed and right-minded!

Reloads the page, but still stays mobile. |

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. |

Attached File Attached File Attached File I'm liking the image attachment. I liked the old format even though it is a PITA on mobile, but I'll get used to this soon.

A 100% user from mobile devices here.
A tutorial on posting / uploading images from phone please? Also, videos, etc? 
BTW, new site is good on mobile. Lots of powerful tools here, just kinda mixed up right now.... |
I don’t like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

Something 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 |
