Wow, if it looks better on the phone than PC it must be absolute *kitten* on a computer, because it looks confusing and horrible from a mobile.OlyCapitalChick wrote: »Okay so i did some research in the code and it looks like they are using the vanilla forum framework ( which is mobile friendly) and voila i am on my phone lurking the forum and it is so much better looking on my phone than via the web browser. Very interesting.
It is!! Its like drunk monkeys loaded the code then got stoned and said "ah f this" we're out.

Ok so the only thing that really sucks is that SO MANY reviews are gone. If I google saaaay "T25 workout review" these forums would come up with tons of input from people. Only now none of the threads exist when you click on them.
Also, I tried to start a new thread on my phone 3 times last night and the forum ate it every time. It's horrible.
I do like the look of it on my phone, very clean. I'm excited for tickets to come back. LOVE ease of posting pictures.0 -
Trying to maneuver it the the way in which I've come accustomed .. doesn't compute. I feel hunger coming on .. grrrr .. *my tummy*.0

They behave just like the old forums, except with some fancy xml so you don't have to wait on as many page reloads. You people *kitten* too much.0

I don't have any problem with most of the forum, seems similar to before with some extra formatting features.
However not being able to see the threads I've posted in previously really sucks. Really had trouble finding one of them last night that I had posted on just a few hours earlier. Impossible to carry on a conversation or see what others have responded.0 -

No, they do not. Navigation is so much worse in the new forums. They need to add a "My Topics" button to get a list of the threads in which a user has posted. Then, they need to combine Notifications for each topic so it doesn't have 400 notifications for 400 additional comments.
They should do notifications like Facebook: User A, User B, User C, and User D have responded to the topic "Why did MFP release this before it was completed?!"
Currently on MFP: User D has responded to the topic "Why did MFP Rlease this before it was completed?!
User C has responded to the topic "Why did MFP Rlease this before it was completed?!
User B has responded to the topic "Why did MFP Rlease this before it was completed?!
User A has responded to the topic "Why did MFP Rlease this before it was completed?!
And another thing... why can't a user change their notification settings until they actually start getting notifications?!
**Note: Notifications are new, so there is another thing that does not behave like the old forums.0 -
I woke up to 169 notifications today (roughly 5 1/2 pages once I click through to All Notifications). I wish there was some way to sort or consolidate them. There's also no way to tell which page number of notifications I'm on.0

Agreed. One notification per thread is enough. I don't need 25 notifications for the same thread.0 -

Nice to be able to bookmark threads though, and I like the notifications.0 -

Once you post, you can't edit either, can you?
Get used to it. Pretty sure we won't go back.0 -
pros:
replies are easy and fast
cons:
avatars are too small, you barely see them
the forums lack a structure, i don't like this flying lines
it's too white, it hurts my eyes, i'd prefer a grey version or something easier on my eyes

Seems like you get an hour after posting to edit that post.
Edit: On the web you just hover over the upper right corner and a wheel appears showing how long you have to edit the post. Click on it and you can edit.0 -

Oh, that is another great idea... make the background darker and the text an offset color like blue.

I changed my profile picture but it wasn't showing on the forums. I had to log out and back in for it to work.0
