k. thanks

back to talking about the site itll take me a while to get used to the more washed out colors but it seems easier on the eyes. the report and quote buttons are a little hard to see at the moment though. hope the bugs are easy and quick to fix

Overall though I like it.

RIP my beautiful TL minimalistic dark theme FF add-on....

Looked like someone had played a very bad round of tetris on the mainpage with the add on activated.

oh lol the right sidebar is below Posts now for me. (luckily not on my bigger screen)

But guess no option to use the old layout, which looked far better to me and no its no getting used to its personal preferance.

It will probably take time to get used to. Spent more than a decade on the old layout. It looks slick at a first glance.

my only critique is that the posts say "3 hours ago," "3 days ago," "89 weeks ago" instead of using a date for the older posts. i can understand the shorter ones (hours, days), but once it gets into weeks and months, i would prefer the older system of having the actual date of the post. once in awhile i go back and look for old posts and the weeks/month ago format is very unhelpful. thanks.

god please please please fix this it's really embarrassingly bad

The right sidebar being below posts is a bug with zooming on your browser, R1CH's fixing it.

I generally like the changes...
however, regarding the forums... would it be possible to reduce a wasted vertical white space?
There seems to be a lot of empty pixels conveying exactly nothing - an annoying tendency since Windows 8

The mod note of this thread has some pixels too many I think? It's not aligning too well to the thread.

I'm sure this has been brought up but TLPD-ize is not showing up when I try to make a new thread. Also there seems to be some issues with the BBCode such as the [big] command

Well, I am pretty used to this layout. My complaints are that the shade of blue used for posts is too light and the quote/report buttons are nigh invisible.

Logging in on mobile using the login link at the top left of the page is impossible (tapping the dialog to enter username and password makes the dialog close) and there's a transparent overlay in the top left corner that doesn't look like it should be there. Also on mobile there's no way to directly go to a user's profile page (tapping on their username/icon/arrow next to username does nothing).

Not really liking it, kinda like having 50 shades of ble/grey

It's not bad per se, but i don't fancy it.

Yeah, what about this, it's not a bug but anyway these are things I would tweak:

[image loading]

1. It's a wasted action if you have to mouse over this arrow and wait for the "Profile" and "PM" buttons, especially if there's only two buttons (where is "Blog" or even "Gift TL+"?)

I don't think you should have to mouseover that especially since you no longer have to click to have access to your own profile, which is good:

[image loading]

I think on the post it should just display the 3-4 relevant buttons. It won't be as crowded because Quote/Report are in another corner now. Before there were up to 7 buttons (Gift TL+ PM Profile Blog Report Quote #) in one corner,

2. Quote/Report are almost the same color as the background. We know what those buttons do but with the new location and that color, it takes a CSI to find them

3. Like dAPhREAk says, with really old posts, the date might be more useful than "6 years ago" (a la Youtube comments).

What about if mousing over the "4 minutes ago" showed the post date/timestamp? That way people can see both.

4. The post permalink is on the timestamp for some reason instead of the post number like #322 which otherwise isn't doing anything else. I think if you display the post number, that's where the permalink should be. And then when you mouse over the post age, it can change to a timestamp.

[image loading]

It seems like widening the right sidebar just makes all this dead space.

Also I miss something like these arrows for collapsing a forum, but on the other hand I can see how they're cluttering:

[image loading]

Finally, if you're on the first vs. the last page of a thread, there's a different number of buttons. which I think is weird. If you're on a middle page of a thread, you get buttons for two pages in either direction, and then a first and last page button, so for example on page 8 the buttons are 1 6 7 8 9 10 18. On page 1, you get the next four pages plus the last three pages, so 1 2 3 4 5 16 17 18.

[image loading]

I just think the last page should have more buttons, like 1 14 15 16 17 18. Right now it's only 1 16 17 18. Most people will generally be on the first or last page of a thread, so why does the last page have so few links to other pages on it compared to the first page or even compared to a random page in the thread?

Also I can't find a link to sidebar options in the user profile. It's only in tiny font at the bottom of the left sidebar. It might be convenient to have a link to those options in the profile also.

I agree that the real date/hour is much better than the "X weeks/hours ago" thing

I think either way you do it, it would just be great if mousing over showed the other format. Especially if the default format changes depending on the post's age.
