Just checked and I don’t have a view option like that on iOS. Unless it’s hidden, which is possible. Edited February 1, 2021 by Robbie C.

As the format then displays, as you would see it on the computer. There are three dots on my phone in the top right corner, where I tap and can choose that option, scrolling down a bit. 28 minutes ago, summer84 said: I mentioned this on page 1/the quoted part.

There are some guides on Google on how to view the standard website version on the IOS system. 45 minutes ago, ViceFanMan said: I don’t see any 3 dots option in the top right corner on my phone??

Android and IOS have different ways to view it though. Otherwise if the option is not there, you could try looking up on Google how to view it based on which mobile version you have.

Sorry, I’m sure I sound ridiculous to a lot, but Im not a techie. This whole new page thing is VERY annoying and not user-friendly anymore.

Vicefan7777 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I only use my laptop. Don't own and don't want a so-called Smart phone. At first I was confused by the new site, but to me it really hasn't changed that much. I still have my bell for notifications and like the addition of statistics. So really I can't complain about the technical updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators timm525 Posted February 1, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 On the mobile platform, I can’t even see where I am logged in at or view my profile. I guess it takes the info from whatever you are logged in as on the website. Can’t see how to switch to the website like before either?

The same with me (iphone). In general the pink bar (leaderboard, location map and parts of activity and community) is almost gone on my mobile. I usually use my laptop anyway so this doesn´t matter so much. But it´s strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ferrariman Posted February 3, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Everyone seems to be missing the notification bell icon. I'm using google chrome on my laptop and the bell is right there where it's always been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem seems to be that a lot of us use our cell phones for the site...and sadly the notification bell seems to have been removed now with that format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I don't like the new layout, but one nice new feature is that quoted text is now partially hidden. I used to get frustrated when people would quote a really long post with lots of pictures just to make a brief comment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicegirl85 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yes, that is a good feature! I had trouble adjusting to the new layout for awhile, but now I think it's working fine (I think James and the Admin team were able to make a few tweaks, too). With any messageboard, the hosting system makes system updates from time to time and often it's to address bugs or things that weren't working well. It's ultimately something (I think!) we have to accept and adjust to, and I appreciate the hard work of James, Timm, Ferrariman, etc., who actually have to implement the site updates. Most of us (including myself) don't have the expertise to do that work, so I'm thankful someone else does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Are you on a mobile version? I'm at my laptop and am seeing the font color (A with a line underneath) and font size (Size) right next to the A. Perhaps it looks different on a mobile version, or perhaps those things are now located in a different spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I also have the issues only on my mobile (iphone). Most nasty one is that I cannot read PMs and notifications anymore. The PC/laptop version works normally. An issue on all versions is the edit button is on the top of the post, not at the bottom anymore which is impractical and illogical. The only advantage of the upgrade is see is the compressed window when quoting someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
