I do wish that a single "carriage return" did not result in a giant paragraph break.

Nice!

 

Appreciate the change  and the other changes today - esp. the dynamic resizing of content for those of us on the ad-free model.  Very nice to have the screen filled, and still works very well on iPhone / iPad, as well.

 

Really coming along, Chris.

Thanks for the gentle nudges to adjust things a bit.

Just put in a Go To Top link at the bottom of every post.

I wont add much to whats already been stated other than the "size/real estate " issue.  Some seem fine with it others not so much.  I suppose it depends on what your viewing the site with (mobile, certain resolution). 

 

As was stated a page or two back, this is what I see on a 2K 27"  .   It is what it is and I know your hands are full with many things per this new update.  Although would be nice to see it scale per the device/resolution one is viewing on. Resizing the browser doesn't "format" or change the sizing.  

 

Although It is similar size wise to the Roon site so I'm kinda used to it I guess.

To pass on a tip I learned ealier today from Jud, drag the right edge of your window in until it starts resizing the text, then drag it back out.  You will get about 30% more text as the right side of the text will extend almost to the right erdge of the top black bar.

Thanks, but I tried that first thing and did not change anything.  I'm currently not on that monitor/wkst, but wonder if being logged in makes a difference.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Thank you so much for this button!

Chris,

 

Thanks for these incremental fixes! Already a huge improvement since 24 hours ago. Keep em coming.

 

And hope you get a bit more sleep tonight.

Chris, 

 

Thanks for adding the "Go to Top" button.

I happen to use it a lot and was going to ask for it.

The ignored posters show up in the discover page, they didn't show up in the activity page with Vbulletin.  In the threads the ignored posters were shown, however the text is blank. Is there something to learn now?

I still have 2 minor issues with the new site:

1. I'd like the site to remember the type of view I've picked in the activity tab, even if it is a custom defined stream. The site doesn't seem to do this, at least not for me. Just don't want to have to adjust the activity view every time I come back to the site.
 

2. Drop down menus: don't work properly on my iPad or Android tablet. On the iPad, it takes multiple attempts to get the drop down menu to appear, and it seems to happen just by luck.
On my Android tablet, not all the menu items appear when I touch the tab. 
 

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure there are some simple coding fixes that will make the drop down menus - that work with a mouse and "hover" on a desktop -also work properly wth a touch screen.

 

Other than that, I like the new site and the clean look.

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

The new site does not allow me to see the first few words/lines of an entry, which makes it a bit more of a challenge to decide to read or not.

 

Since neither the app nor Tapatalk work, I am haapy about the changes: I will definitely spend way less time on this forum.

Try reloading the page, or if that doesn't work, dumping your browser cache.

[JS21]

The current width and font size looks fine now but I think the page can use some low intensity colors, grays maybe, to bring down the contrast. 

 

Just a thought..

Any update on Tapatalk support? 

The new CA website looks exactly the same as stereonet which also works with Tapatalk. 

I am missing CA a lot but personally I don't want to open a browser so often. Tapatalk is  great. 

[Theobetley]

I am sure I missed it but where can I search a thread?

Not at this time.

The search box at the top is contextual and can be changed with a couple clicks. Try that and let me know if it's what you want.

Looking into it.

@The Computer Audiophile The background colour of mentions is a bit dark IMO. A paler blue such as #a8c8f8 looks nicer to me.

Agree. I've made a small adjustment.

Well, on an iPhone or iPad you simply tap on the symbol. 

Thanks, that works. I tried press and hold but not just tapping on it.

 

On another note, this seems like one of those "designy" things done at the expense of usability. Going from a button that said "Go to last read" to a green circle with no indication of what it's for isn't a step up. Even Chris wasn't aware that's what it was. And it works differently depending upon what platform you're using? Newbies to the site will have no idea that you can in fact go to the last read post. At any rate, I know it's there. Thanks for your help.
