New Look

[ArtVandelay]

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.

It’s auto scaling (or whatever they call it) nothing wrong ...user error.

It's clean and minty fresh.

Where's "mark all read"?

Where’s it’s always been...right of the “unread content”?

Yup. Agree. Here is my iPad in landscape where there is more room across the top. So it looks like viewing in portrait mode is now pooched. Too bad. Enjoyed that.

Not on my iPad Mini screen.  I guess the new and improved interface doesn't support new and improved devices.

Try going into settings->safari and change the zoom %,

85% or lower probably will work.

See my post above, on the mini it will have to be 75%

Chrome not Safari

[midlifeflyer]

Yes, 75% works on Safari on the Mini. I don't generally care one way or another about format changes. I even got use to the new Facebook browser interface is about 5 minutes . But I'm sorry, having to shrink the text by 25% just to be able to use basic forum functions (it applies to notifications, email, profile access too) on a tablet or a phone (no surprise the same issue is on my Samsung phone) is not an improved interface; if anything it's a regression to earlier times before handheld devices existed. I take it there's no "mobile" version of the site like in the early days.   I'll stick with my earlier comment.

Hopefully it's a rolling change that will get addressed as bugs are encountered.

My Samsung phone also doesn't show the notifications, etc., landscape or.portrait, but my Samsung tablet DOES, only in landscape mode. Both are running Chrome.

My Winders desktop works just as before, running Firefox.

Wish my phone still showed everything . . . . Samsung doesn't do that auto-scale thing, and I have Zoom set to it's minimum value.

Set the zoom to 85%...and hit the refresh button.

I can see why some of you guys don’t like glass panels.

I just figured it out for my Samsung phone.  Under the browser settings select Desktop Site.

I think this is the 4th “new look” I’ve seen.  Overall, it’s not bad, just different.
 

I don’t like how some threads show a kind of “split screen” look for some reason.  This only happens in landscape mode on my iPad.

Does anyone know how to turn that function off?  @mooniac58?

Sorry, I don't know if that can be turned off.  It seems to be part of the new update.

It's an iPhone thing, useless trivia for many of us.

Who has post numbers?

I’d like them back...
