Forum categories are more condensed than pre-update? Hard to find a way to directly go to Forum List. You'd need to click on Community Discussion and then Forums
Issues so far:
I miss the blue theme - this one is way too busy and not nearly as easy on the eyes.
I had to clear my cookies to log in, it wouldn't let me despite a half dozen attempts.
I had to re-agree to every agreement just to switch to the dark theme - which still isn't as good as the blue one.
This is dreadful. And,on the sandbox test site, weren't there more options than "light or dark, Clark?" (from "Vacation", 1983)
This is a major update to the underlying platform, so the old styles will not work anymore.
You can still search by who posted them and by specific thread. Select the drop down box to the right of the search box and you can access those options.
There is no dropdown box on mobile browsers.
Viewing attached images is a problem. It opens up and freezes
I cannot switch themes without filling out/agreeing to a bunch of stuff that have popped up as "required" in my profile preferences since my last change.Dark theme is far better for me and i suggest using it. Also suggest converting light theme to classic blue theme
If you're viewing on a mobile browser you have to tap it and then an X will pop up in the top right corner. Not sure how feasible it is but it seems like it would be intuitive to swipe down to dismiss the photo and I'd like to see that.Viewing attached images is a problem. It opens up and freezes
Or like.... make all the old themes work with the new platform....This is petty, I know..but I do not like green. especially this shade of green. It sets my teeth on edge. Please, please please can you just add a style with the blue? Just the way it is now, but with blue instead of this olive green?
Love blue 2017.I agree with the comments about bringing back the old themes or mimicking them in some way (I loved the 2017 ones, myself!) but also wanted to say thank you for adding the like button functionality to PMs!
Appears not, @SARdoghandler and I just ran a quick test in an old PMLove blue 2017.
ALSO, do PM likes count towards your total score???
I agree it makes sense to not have them count in PM, which is why I was curious.Appears not, @SARdoghandler and I just ran a quick test in an old PM
But I think that makes sense, could easily be abused to boost reaction scores, and it gets the job done the way it is
in the vein of this, I also don't like how it no longer shows the info like locationSome comments:
I highly preferred the old style I had been using.
Not a fan of the reactions features like Facebook. Would prefer like (and maybe dislike) options only.
I miss the old way of showing post count/join date/like count without clicking additional buttons (easier to spot trolls, etc.).
I liked how the "original poster" text was included right on the avatar as a distinct banner. Now it is just a tiny circle picture, which is not as obvious while scrolling.
Every time I click the "sdn" banner on the top left on the desktop browser, it takes me back to the home page but shows I am not logged in (despite having checked "stay logged in"). I click log in and after a few clicks and seconds of loading, it states I am already logged in and reloads with my username on top.
I like how the post #s are shown but as they do not correlate with the link, it is pointless. The link should be the same as the # displayed in the thread. (ie: #post-20835108 is actually #24 on this thread).
Actually yeah, that reminded me. I can no longer log in via Google.Hey I just want to let you know that after the upgrade I can no longer log in via Facebook (that's where I usually log in from), I had to make a new account to post this lol

oooooooooh I didn't see that, that's sweet!I agree with the comments about bringing back the old themes or mimicking them in some way (I loved the 2017 ones, myself!) but also wanted to say thank you for adding the like button functionality to PMs!
How do you think I feel?Its going to take time for me to get used to your yellow A avy
lol well glade im not alone hahaActually yeah, that reminded me. I can no longer log in via Google.
Gives an error that says:
(Still hating the lack of blue)
Legit the same thing happened to me on a pc i logged in but it would just reload back to the login but when i clicked on the sdn logo my username appeared on the top right corner. No idea whats happening with the new update. I had to create this post on my phone bc i cant even comment on forums on my pc.Able to login on my mobile devices, but it just reloads the login screen every time I try on my laptop.

Unrelated: While I was typing this, the notification that more messages had been posted popped up and it's way bulkier than the old style and bumped what I was typing down far enough to go off my screen. Previously it would still bump me down, but only by a line or two. QOL thing.
You say that like it's a bad thingThis is moving towards looking like reddit.
Clear your cookies. Same thing happened to me.Able to login on my mobile devices, but it just reloads the login screen every time I try on my laptop.
