The new design threw me for a bit. I first noticed it on my phone, and wow, can actually read the text. Looks great. I understand the comments about all the white space on a notebook/desktop PC, however, not a problem, I can still read the pages.
The navigation was my pet peeve for a few days, until I figured out or read about various how-to's. It's far quicker and fewer forced clicks for some things, e.g., watched unread threads: 1 click for watched page, 1 click (blue dot) jumps right to the unread post. This is after you have gone through your watched lists once and re-read from about mid-Feb (took a bit to understand that...) -- now works like a charm. And watching a new thread is dead easy.
So, all in all, thanks very much to all who had a hand in working out the new system. The key, of course, is handling all those new users once the Model ≡ masses take hold. Eyes on the prize, baby!

@doug My old wiki bookmarks are broken. Example: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showwiki.php?title=REST+API+Tools+and+Apps
Edit: Can Google "site:teslamotorsclub.com showwiki.php" for more examples.

The new design looks great. I will use it on mobile now even more as I bookmarked New Posts. Thanks especially for dumping Tapatalk, that's awesome. Everything looks good I have no complaints.
I've been checking in here daily but I had an old bookmark that just gave me a blank white page. i thought the site was still down 'til I realized just a few mins ago I should just type in the main URL again and wow big changes. Good changes.

One thing I would like to see is on the alerts, once you've clicked on an alert it should be removed from the alerts listing (at least from the popup listing. I tried using the "read alerts first" method, which works well other than you have to remember where you were. Because every time the alerts message is brought up it goes back to the first alert, that can be a nuisance.

I miss the old reputation system. But knowing things, I would see that I would have to spread some reputation around before I could give it to ohmman again!

Black text on gray background on my iPhone. White text here would be beneficial.

On a positive note, I am happy I no longer click "Unsubscribe" when I meant to click the thread title above or below it when viewing from my phone.

I've been actively using taptalk since Dec 2015 and using that software became a daily routine. It was shocking to see no advanced notice that you were pulling the plug on allowing people to use taptalk. Any reason why no advanced notice? I am a very tech savvy person but find using the mobile interface not as quick and easy as using a reader such as taptalk. Surely another solution must exist to allow us to be able to use the forum with another type reader?
Would it be possible to add back the feature where you can double click on the "unread" indicator in front of a forum to mark the forum as read? Or at least, a way of marking the forum as read _without_ refreshing the page.
Just noticed that the blue dot has become "GO TO FIRST UNREAD". If I command-click that to open in a new tab, it works great.
But if I command-click on the avatar picture, it replaces the current tab. Would be great if the behaviour of the avatar picture link could be the same as that of the "GO TO FIRST UNREAD" link.

Actually now I am seeing it, when I previously posted it was still the "square" design. Better.
Is new rep system starting from scratch or do we get our old points back?
It is incredibly silly, but I liked my useless vanity green bars, I miss them a bit
I thought I was better than that, apparently not

Those are ones I couldn't easily redirect because the guy that coded that wiki plugin didn't use any content IDs. They were a small fraction of our content. Google will catch up eventually.
I thought you said you were giving us all 2 weeks off.Like, Tesla soon or actually soon?
I mean, it is a Tesla forum, so... kind of have to clarify. If it's Tesla soon then we should just check back in a year or so.
Starting fresh. You had till last Saturday night to redeem your green bars at the prize counter.

I'm basically only posting in this thread. I put forth some effort to put a few updates on others and to browse around... but yeah, probably should just leave things be for a bit and come back when you guys think you have things sorted out.
That's pretty disappointing.

While I wasn't at your rep point level, I was one of those maxed out at 11 visible bars. I view this as an opportunity to regroup around solid postings and earn my way back up.

Why is everyone a well known poster even though some just came on board a month or two ago?
It's really hard to distinguish between those with a great posting reputation and those who might be slightly new.
We can focus on the name of the poster, but only if you remember that from the old board.....
