New Forum Design

[physicsfita]

Is the function to continue reading a thread where you last stopped gone? It's a feature i used alot.

No, it's the very tiny blue dot next to the thread name. Really hard to hit on an iPad.

gimme back the favicon.ico also. So ugly to add a bookmark without a favicon.ico

Is there any way for us to still access and use the forums with the old layout? PLEASE!

 

[csshih]

I preferred the old layout as it displayed more on the forum index.

I think the standard thread title link actually functions this way now. It was hard to tell before the forum caught up with previously read posts and stop being so slow.

looks like the windows 10 idiots got a hold of this website
and made changes for the sake of change

Where is "What's New"? I used that link almost exclusively and got to see a list of all new posts regardless of subforum. I can only imagine how angry and frustrated those members who hate the new GUI in the car must be about this.

"New Posts" on the top bar.

Ignorant comment.

Looks ok-ish on mobile, but on desktop there is NO information on the "New Posts" page without scrolling. Is there a "compact" theme?

 

[mochouinard]

I'll say that even if the site was not slugish as hell, the UI change itself is really annoying !

There is lot of stuff happening on this site ! Yet they put a site skin that made for low traffic forum !

Yes in general having things put farther apart make thing look nicer and cleaner... But you can't do that when you have soo much stuff happening else you end up scolling and clicking non stop !

Did the old site needed some refresh ui... Sure, but this was not the answered !!!

I like the new design. Works on desktop and mobile. So no need for Tapatalk, it's just useless spyware anyway IMO.

Now make it fast enough and I'm happy!

Such hostility. Windows 10 was a great update from 8 and even 7. It was needed to stay competitive.

Likewise, updates needed to be made to the forum before improvements could be made going forward

Where are the reputation bars?

 

[Fallenone]

Aesthetically I think it's better. Still need some extra time to see how it compares in functionality. And also, no rep system now?

 

[Denarius]

I like the new look. However, all my watched threads are taking me back to mid February to show my last read posts, when in reality most were read up to yesterday.

Agreed. Let's all think for a minute. So far Tesla has sold some Model S's and a few X. Soon the Model 3 will be revealed and in the coming years it will sell in large numbers, TMC wants to stay the place to discuss all things Tesla related and can expect heavy increase in memberships, traffic and discussion. So the software needs to be up to date and responsive.

Yikes. Just, yikes.

 

[ohmman]

Thanks, doug. New look is good. Looking forward to getting comfortable with the functionality.

WRT reputation bars, I get the feeling we can all kiss those goodbye. Good thing I ate mine right before the upgrade.

Don't expect it to work 100% perfectly out of the box. It takes a bit of time for things to get cached, etc. The site is already working much faster now.

This is a much better platform moving forward. There will be a little pain during the transition, and a new UI to get used to, but I'm certain Doug and Danny made the right move.

I preferred it when you could access subforums from upper level forums.

For example, before I could go to the Canada subforum directly, now I have to go North America then Canada.
