Sheesh, I come back from vacation and this site is all messed up :tongue: I kinda hate the whole look actually, and the default font is way too small. Other than that.....
Guess I'll get used to it.

To continue the complaints, links are almost the same color as text and don't show up well unless you mouse them, the page number links don't black out the page you are currently on so you can't easily tell if you need to click "next" to continue on.

Also, now you have to click "reply" and then click "go advanced" to use an advanced reply, where in the past "reply" took you to advanced automatically.

Thanks for putting in the hard work on the redesign. I like the overall look as well but the yellow sticky background and the spacing of each thread title to the next is a little distracting and hard to read.

I decided to try out the mobile version on my home computer. How do I change back if I wanted to? The mobile control panel doesn't have option to select TMC Strong. Thanks.

I figure this might be a good place for QA for the mods:

- Is there something wrong with the media / YouTube embed function? I just created a new thread (http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/4305-The-new-tesla-model-s), and the post shows "stuff" in between the media fields. I also noticed this on another thread just to make sure my post wouldn't create a double thread.

- One interesting thing regarding the tread mentioned above, I copied and pasted the title from the source YouTube video which said "THE NEW TESLA MODEL S" for the thread title here; however, the thread title had changed to "The new tesla model s".

Hope this helps.

Please increase font size

The font for the new site is very hard to read. Something larger, bolder, and simpler would be a BIG help.

Can this be changed by us readers, or only the moderators?

Links are secret. The only way to know if type is linked to a site is on rollover. There are thousands of posts that by their writing do not indicate there would be a link in the type.

Simplified example:
A recent post by DP was on Jeremy Clarkson driving the Mini. When I read it I wondered why he did not post a link. After hunting around with my mouse I found that some of letters turned red when the arrow went over them. This could mean many missed links in the future.

Actually, it looks like they are KIND OF in bold-face ... but way too subtle ! Any links inserted should automatically post in blue with underlining without any intervention req'd on the part of the poster.

I don't want to accidentally be standing in the way of progress ... but I wil agree with JRP3 ... from what I've seen so far ... and there may be "hidden" advantages I just haven't "discovered" yet ... I like the old version "moah better".

Have not been very successful with the search feature yet. I even tried search I know worked wih the old one.

I am patient though. I have a slow charger.

I like the fact that it works properly on iPad.

Links in messages are too subtle; they need a stronger color.

The font could be bigger.

When looking for new messages, you have to hit a leetle tiny blue arrow button... took me a while to find that, and it's almost hard to hit on an iPad.

Irony Alert. We want others to think outside the box when it comes to new EV technology and yet we struggle with website design changes??

Just sayin'

Request - Quotes seem to be padding out messages with lots of Line Feeds/Carriage Returns - could this be fixed? Thanks.

We don't expect anyone to accept poorly functioning EV's when good ones can be made. The site changes are like going from a RAV4EV to a Comuta Car when the RAV4 was working perfectly fine.

I find this new format hard to look at - hard to use - and overall lacking compared to previous version.....but that's me....
No, it's not you. A lot of us really need to have the larger font, and the younger ones really don't care one way or the other. MPT, I don't know what you're doing about this, but some of us REALLY NEED sans serif and about 12 or 13 size font. My screen shows about 8 or 10. I don't know how you do fonts on a website, but YOU KNOW this is an issue. What's the plan?? I notice you have not responded lately to my emails.
PLEASE fix this. I find I often don't bother to check out the forum because it is getting to be a pain. Of course, if that's what you want....
