Hi Everybody,

We've been working on an updated forum design and have a test forum for you to try out.

Click here to try it: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=181

If you want to go back to the current design, click here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=136

While the functionality of the forum remains the same, the main advantages of the new design are:

- Up to 40% reduction in page load times
- Full mobile and tablet compatibility with responsive design

Let me know if the new design is displaying for you, and how you like it.

Keep in mind that this new test URL will only work in some forums (including the main forum page and search results, as well as some of the individual forums). So if the design is switching back and forth from old to new, that's because it's in testing.)

Thanks!

I'm using a desktop PC with Windows & Firefox and don't see any difference between the 2 links.

On my ipad i still get constant popups. There driving me off of t he site. That screwy little popup in the bottom just floats all over the page. You can x it out, but it just pops back in again.

looks the same to me. I see no difference in the layout, but might be loading a little faster.

Looks OK to me. I'm on a desktop running Windows7 with Google Chrome via ADSL2 landline...

None of that newfangled mobile/tablet malarkey that the young whippersnappers use for me!

I haven't looked at the new one yet because some have mentioned pop up ads - I HATE pop ups ! Ads on the side, top, or bottom are OK as long as they are not animated or video that eats up bandwidth.

That's the same theme as before. I'm not sure if you guys are blocked from the theme or not. Will test more today. :confused2:
