Check the Amazon thread in team. If you click on the go to new post button, it sends you to page 62. It then locks up. The thread stops on page 32. You have to manually pick that page.

Seem to be having an issue when clicking the green arrow in my subscriptions.
When I click the arrow, it takes me to the thread, but displays nothing but a header saying I'm on the last page I visited...no posts or anything. I then have to manually go to the page number pull down, scroll to find that page number, and click it...which takes me to the beginning of that page vs my last read post. |

Please put the "subscribe" button back into the bar below each post. I really don't care for having to scroll to the top/bottom of a page to find the button.
I also agree with several previous posters that the new spacing doesn't work as effectively as the old. Seems much harder to scroll through the threads. I will give it a fair shot over a few days and see what tweaks are made, but so far, I am, decidedly, not a fan of the change. |

The subscribe button is there for me.
Anything not working or really wrong, try logging out of the site, then log back in again. 
Main bugs I'm seeing are the green arrows for "first unread post" working inconsistently, and some threads, there's a blank "page 1" with no posts in it. Overall, I think 90% of the "I hate it" voters will be just fine after a few days. And for those questioning the reason to change the site? If it wasn't too much effort, maybe Goatboy should load the skin and look of AR15.com from 2001 or so, and people would understand. Anyone who complains, then has ever wondered how their grandparents house got so out of style and tacky... they're a hypocrite.

My biggest gripe is that everything is so damned big on a desktop monitor.
It looks like the screen resolution changed to something stupid. Shrinking the screen manually doesn't help at all. |

I thought something was wrong with my computer but apparently it is the new format. I don't like it as now the ad banner follows me around where before I didn't have to see them along with other things I don't care for. That was part of the reason I was a team member and now I won't be renewing when the time comes. Not a fan and wish there was a way to view this the way it was yesterday.
Edit. I am trying to view this new version on a laptop running Windows 7.0 and the subscribe feature no longer works. When I go to see the thread that I am subscribed to it takes me to an empty page with no posts. Not working for me at all. |

Hate the new lay out.
After nearly 20 years of being used to a certain format this change is likely too much. Thought it was just a shitty mobile lay out but it appears to be a site wide cross platform change. This kinda shit is why I hate microsoft and hate Windows. Changing something and telling us it is better when frankly it is not. If it winds up being consistently annoying I am done. I flat out hate sites that force mobile layout bullshit to the point that I wont load the site or take my business else where. |

Two issues I've found:
Most importantly, in the Test Post Forum Photo Thread, pictures that had been previously approved now show the approval choices below the pic - but the approve choice doesn't work, or doesn't appear to. 2ndly, on some threads, when I click on the last post read green arrow, it takes me to a page that only allows me to choose the page in the thread I want to go to. Once I choose that, it takes me to the top of the page, not the last post read. I saw some blinking advertisements as well, but I was able to fix those. |

I knew it was coming, but I didn't remember the exact date. Signed in this morning and was like "WHOAH". Looks good, just going to take a little time getting used to it. Also, after reading the whole tablet interface improvement, I'll have to check it out on tablet and Ipad to see how much better it is, since I almost always use my laptop.

The full width everything is a really bad experience on desktop. Plz max-width the body!
Edit - Love the feature where the page shakes violently as it loads 
Edit 2 - I'm finding this format extremely unpleasant to use on desktop which accounts for 100% of my browsing. Its not just not good, its actively bad. To the point of driving me, my headache, and my membership away. In addition to just being ugly, its not even functional or otherwise easy, muchless easier, to use. |

How do we bump EE ads with updated site? Got it. Tools top left. More like a phone interface than PC.
Opinions. Besides the "ouch" of my original first thought, the improvements have caused a severe headache in less than 15 minutes of viewing and attempts to navigate on my PC flat screen, and I never get a headache. I'll come back in a few days once it's been de-bugged a bit. Kinda surprised this was adopted or should say instituted with all the issues it currently has. I'd have failed HTML or www design if I had turned this one in 15 years ago. Guess it's still the same with the same people but the site must be pleasant to view and easy to navigate. I quickly polled 10 co-workers who had never seen your site and 100% all said the same "ouch" for first visual impression. Don't know what ya'll are looking for, I'm going to assume it's more money but to me and the limited viewers I showed this to, the new and improved verdict was unanimous. "Ouch". Good luck! My 2nd impression is most won't be happy especially if paying for this for some time to come. |

Hopefully there is a way to view the old format. This new format may be optimized for mobile devices, but for a laptop, in many ways it just plain sucks. There is way too much scrolling! To do most anything I have to scroll, and scroll, and scroll.... it's unpleasant. It took me a few minutes just to find the EE.
The reply/quote/etc options are now down at the bottom of the thread pages. The titles and avatars take up too much real estate. The Equipment Exchange hot button is gone (that was my most used feature). And, most importantly, there was no real reason to change a format that I've been using for the last 14 years! |

What the hell guys? Why do we have avatars and thread titles taking up a full third of the screen real estate? This is incredibly frustrating. I don't get much time to review AR15.com and I don't want to spend most of it scrolling past crap I don't care about.
And where is the EE hot button? Is there an option to bring back the efficiency and goodness that we've enjoyed for almost two decades? |

Well, gotta say the new layout is HORRIBLE. It sounds like it's better for phones, but on a PC, it SUCKS!!! Everything is 10 times as big, so I have to scroll through everything like I'm on facebook. It takes 10 times longer to scan the forums, which takes the site out of my time limit. I love AR15.com, but I don't think I can use it anymore since the new format is so horrible.
I've never understood the need for software guys to fix what isn't broken. Is there any way I can restore the old format for the forums? I really don't want to have to give up the site all together. Please PM if it is possible. |

This new forum desperately needs an interface scaling option for those of us reading on laptops and desktops. It's plainly obvious this is a mobile interface and it does not scale well to larger screens. With this update I can only see 1-2 posts at a time due to how large and obtuse the interface renders -- large avatars and/or obnoxious multi line signatures exasperate this problem -- where before I could comfortably fit multiple posts on a single screen.
This is borderline unusable for me. The mobile version is tedious to use when it's covered in adverts and plagued by advert redirects. It's like you want to turn people away from your site. |

It appears in order to post a pic, the requirement is to use a hosting site link. At the bottom of a txt window is the following:

I don't know of a single website that kept a good desktop experience after redesigning for mobile use. (most mobile websites suck too.) |
