TFO is different

[Gillian M]

Has anyone else noticed that the forum looks different?

The pictures are sometimes blurry in the original post. When I tap on one, it shows up ok in the gallery view, but the gallery is different, too.

And this response box is different. The icons above it are larger.

Plus there is an option for "discussion" or "poll".

I'm not the only one, am I? No one has mentioned it.

I have not noticed anything like that.

This thread about change reminds me of the recent/current Progressive Insurance commercials on TV, featuring "Dr. Rick." You remember? The person with colored hair walks by the group of geezers in a store: "We all see it. We all see it." says Dr. Rick.

Last week I'm in a nursery and see a man and woman examining a plant I've had great success with over the years. I start walking toward them to extol the virtues of this lovely specimen when I hear Dr. Rick's voice in my head: "Do you work here?"

Tough getting old(er).

Wow.....500 clicks later, and after hitting on dots, dashes and open brackets I found a few of the functions.

Let me grab my FORTRAN coder, punch cards and ger caught up to speed. ?

You can now include pictures in your pm's too..

Is there any way to get rid of the gray outline? Seems like it's some kind of display error in the upgrade.

This is why it's good to be older. I have no idea how to get TFO on my phone, and don't really want to. I only surf on the computer. The phone is so the daughter can text me and I can then call her back and complain about the tiny letters in her text...

You think you're a relic but I'm even worse. I always use my phone because I can't really use a computer. I've seen some changes to the look but my phone pretty much works the same. Thanks to the good Lord ?.

Only from a web page...? It doesn't show the drag/choose box:

Really? Well, I don't know why that would be. Do you have vertical gray lines, like a border, on the sides of the screen?

@Josh

You haven't asked for any input, but I like the improvements, for the most part.

I like the improved controls on photos when opened in the gallery view, and I like the formatting bar as a menu.

One small thing...on the notifications, you've put a little circle to indicate read/unread. When we tap on the circle, could it fill with a color so we know we tapped it? That would be very helpful for me, as well as others who rely on notifications.

Overall, good job Josh!

Yes I do.

I keep getting the 1 alert at the bell alert button then it disappears. Every time I refresh my page or even click on anything it pops in then disappears.
Usually when there are changes made there are problems until they get fixed.
@Josh, are the glitches still being worked on?

Same here

 

[wellington]

Same here

Even though I had your alert the number 1 still disappeared.
So it's always there and always disappears whether I have an alert or not, ugh

 

[Cathie G]

My gray lines are more to the size of my screen today. If I post my own message instead of just replying I can see the other menu. I have forgotten what others have said they do. I'll figure it out maybe later ?.

 

[KarenSoCal]

Yes I do.

Those are part of the new formatting that we're seeing.
Also look at where you find the smilies and other emoticons...that space is quite different.

I'm getting streaming adds now. Anyone else?

One good thing that I noticed this a.m. is when starting a new thread, as soon as you type in the subject line the Forum's program fills in some data asking you, "Is this already being discussed?" then it lists several threads with similar titles. :

Is this already being discussed?​

Right. I've been receiving the smilies recently.

Yes. They are covering half of the screen, and they're driving me nuts!
