davide256 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I really miss the preview post option... its a vital way to improve readability and civility. Wasn't impressed when Agon updated their site, this change seems similiar Daudio 1 Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment

My Firefox shows the entire URL with room to spare, and the window isn't even the full width of the monitor. The thread title is also shown in the window title bar at the very top. Does your browser not have one of those? See for yourself... I haven't changed the Toolbar layout in quite a while. Link to comment

Why isn't the title displayed next to the close/maximise buttons in the usual fashion? Did you disable this somehow? As for the URL, the green TLS indicator is new, of course, so that could be what makes the difference. Now if you want to reclaim some space, I'd suggest getting rid of the redundant "reload" and "stop" buttons and use the one at the end of the address field. Switching to small, icon-only buttons might also be something to consider. It's hardly Chris' fault if people configure their browsers in counter-productive ways.

There is a preview post option here that shows you what it will look like on desktop and mobile. Just click the magnifying glass. bogi 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

richard kimber Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 What I miss is the ability to see a preview of each unread posting by hovering the mouse over the titles in the list of unread posts. This is particularly useful for new threads where the title of the thread is not informative.

I don't know what you mean about "next to the close/maximize buttons" ?? That may be because I run the "Classic Theme Restorer" plug-in to kludge the tab row down on top of the content, as nature intended, instead of Mozilla's following Google, lemming-like down some rabbit hole of faddish esthetic design (like Apple) Yes, it appears to be that the actual URL text has been squeezed to a remnant by the TLS on the left, and WTF's on the right. As to "counter-productive ways", I would remind you that people are different, and what might be productive for one is emphatically the opposite for another. There is No One Right Way, and your arrogance in acting as such is not appreciated. Go read some Donald Norman. Over and Out. Link to comment

I'd much rather see the bar with search, notifications, etc in its place. Those I actually click on from time to time. I agree. And if a (much smaller) header menu bar *must* be shown persistently, then I would include a clickable *go to top* icon/link, so that the go to top links in each and every post can be removed..

Not a bad idea IMO, but on phones (pads too?) there isn't a moving header menu, so it couldn't serve the "Go to top" function in that case. Solutions?

Thanks Firedog - I realise that - but I use tapatalk to aggregate the vary many forums I subscribe to and to bring the threads I follow together on one platform. When HiFiWigwam changed their forum they no longer supported Tapatalk - but after a lot of requests to do so - they again do. Hope we can do both Tapatalk and Standalone in due-course.

realhifi Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It just feels a little less friendly. Not that big of a deal but the perceived comfort of similarity is strong and is especially important in the cold world of the internet. That said, I'm sure there are improvements and efficiencies at play and a lot of hard work has probably gone into to your "remodel" so congrats are in order and I'm sure we'll all get used to the new "look"!

Cornan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Have anyone comment on the like/dislike arrows? Anyway, they are too close to each other. I would personally prefer to have them on each side of the heart rate box. Like on the left side and dislike on the right side of the heart rate box, so it is easier for anyone to press the right arrow, especially on mobile phones.
