Hank Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) So whaddaya think of the new look? The colors will take some getting used to, especially all of the white (no, it's NOT like looking at a piece of paper, it's like reading the writing on a lit up lightbulb), but there are some features that I already like, too: Very clear separation line for unread posts in a thread Abridged quotes in the thread are nice, especially when someone quotes a very lengthy post Easy, obvious way to open up the abridged quote when you want to Just for reference, here's the "old" one: The only downsides are the huge increase in whiteness (my eyes can only look at so much white screen for so long), and the Edit button is now hidden at the top of the post instead of being down at the bottom.

You can scroll down to the bottom of this page, though, and try the dark theme to lighten your screen. Still exploring. Jim I used to do that late at night sometimes, anyway. Just turned screen brightness down some more . . . . Quote
LevelWing Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 I like it. It's clean and so far I think it's easier to read than the old theme. 1 Quote

carusoam Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Very high speed, yay! More white... Brighter... Same writers.. Same awesome topic... -a- 1 Quote
mooniac58 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Yeah, I had to update the forum software today and the new look just happened automatically. I think it looks pretty clean myself. 2 Quote

Don't see my login, account links, mail or notifications on my phone, but they're all right there on my tablet in the top right corner. On the phone, though--nothin! Quote

There should be a little mail icon at the top for messages and then clicking on your username should drop a list down with account options. If you don't see this anymore please send me a screen shot of what you do see. Thanks! Quote
carusoam Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 It had been slowing down... Going to the next post was taking whole seconds... Today, it is instantaneous as expected... -a- Quote

201er Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Did the new ownership at Mooney buy out Mooneyspace or something?? 2 Quote
0TreeLemur Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Still no moderated FAQ section. e.g.: Before you buy a Mooney- What is a pre-buy inspection, and why is it important? Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 What was wrong with the way it was? It is like my wife, she expects me to make a life long commitment to her, but she wanted a new washing machine. I told her the one we had was working perfectly, she said she was just tired of it and wanted a new one. Do you see the irony there? 1 Quote
SantosDumont Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 I was wondering what happened. I figured I did something wrong and needed to clear the cookies in my browser. Quote

Every update includes critical security updates to prevent hackers from breaking into the site and doing things like stealing your email addresses, etc. 4 Quote

mooniac58 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 It looks like the missing icons is an issue being seen only on phones. I see this to on my Android in Chrome browser. Very likely they will have an update to fix this soon. Quote
