hi all
as some of you are aware we have introduced a new responsive design for people accessing the desktop site on a mobile device.
please use this thread for pointing out any issues you experience.
so far i have:
* missing who's online link
* unable to select a friend on the member settings page
* clicking friends avatar on friends list does not always bring up the context menu
* add an option to revert back to desktop design
Breaking: The context menu of options for a member is now available by clicking on their avatar, no longer their name.
* can no longer can I remove pictures from the albums there’s no options once you add to the album
I with all my soul prefer the previous desktop version for my phone mobile, and on my desktop.
Very minor issue, but on "My Stories" the Display Date listing has a fraction of an overlap with the links on my Galaxy S9 in portrait. Fine in landscape. No issues on tablets. So you may need to tweak it a little for some narrow displays. It shouldn't affect functionality, but it just looks off with them overlapping that way.
The desktop display for that page changing was disconcerting, but there's nothing really wrong with it other than it's different. Just my OCD rebelling against change.
In the chat rooms when posting a picture, small pictures are expanded and distorted.
The "report" button can barely be seen on the left.
My bio page on the phone is okay, though massively important things like stories are now only a link. I am extremely dissapointed in that. Stories are what this place is about. I'd think, we as authors would want our top stories to be prominent and seen by anyone accessing our page.
I absolutely loved our bio pages the way they were. Like Coca-Cola, when it is already great, why change it?
On my desktop computer, my bio page is a mess. Large blank areas, then you finally see something if you scroll down a long way.
Just restoring the desktop site back would be great, with an option to have it for the phone.
But this mobile version is much better than the old one.
The options box goes up no matter how high up the page you are. If it appears at all.
Black boxes are doubling up the name, trunkating instead of wrapping long names.
I agree with Buzz above. Why change a good thing. I loved the previous displays also that you could hoover over and send an IM message. now, you click on the name and then scroll way to the bottom etc. to find a line to click on to send IM message. extra keystrokes and time. Also, this does not show well on a cell phone or IPAD. too large.. Too hard to find stories. I liked to see everything in one view..
Loved seeing what my friends or stories someone had read. I felt oh, if they read them and commented must be good and I would go read those stories also......
Please, Please, can you send me back to what we had yesterday????? This is wasting my time.

The cursor keys no longer work to navigate back and forth in galleries or albums. This makes them extremely difficulf for me on bad days. I'm having a lot of them lately, where I have trouble settling my mouse.
Maybe make this a sticky.
Hi, I’ve disabled the responsive sheet but the old desktop set up no longer works as it should. The red menu bar is split into two sections, the second line being below the red, so almost impossible to see and none of my account settings work.
Edit -everything works as it should from the Forum page but not from my profile page.
Saucy, you might need to clear your cache to revert to the old style sheet.
If that doesn't work, it means Gav is working on the fixes.
The red bar is now overlapping the content.
I get the same things as you guys when switching back to the original style sheet.
I think Gav rushed it out this morning and will need to tinker with it all over the coming days. There were a lot of page elements (or something like that!) which needed rewriting so it's not as simple as flicking a switch to the old style sheet unfrotunately.
Please keep the feedback coming. We'll get there soon enough.
One noticeable hiccup when hovering over a friends avi on the Your Friends list is that it won't bring up context menu unless user has membership badge visible.
For Example:
SimplyJohn has Platinum badge visible on avi but Dudealicious doesn't which automatically takes me to Dudealicious profile even though he(Dudealicious) has Platinum membership.
Gav has Gold badge on avi and context menu pops up.
MisterE36 has free account(unless he has badge hidden) and when hovering over his avi it automatically takes me to his profile.
Most of the users on my list have Platinum membership badge visible and their context menu pops up.
Hi:
When I switched back to desktop I can’t see my profile or mailbox etc. unless I’m in the forum. I can only see the home page. I cleared my cache and that’s how it’s displayed.
Hugs,
Mysteria
I really just want the same format and database of information from my laptop or my phone, if that is possible.
