Forum Update - Test it out

Thanks Aaron, I see what your saying...so some threads are showing in the old format and some in the new, that seems very strange but that is indeed what is happening.

I had your exact thought and re-read the first post of this thread, which makes more sense to me now.

Well it was nice while it lasted, the jumping adds are back on the iPad in the new mobile format...I guess they are here to stay since many have complained and there has been little response to eliminate them.

That's not the new format. Some pages are still on the old format as I mentioned in the first post.

Thanks guys, I stand corrected. I was just frustrated when I saw it this morning. Carry on, kudos to the staff for all the hard work.

Kenny, I turned on the compatability mode in the hopes of fixing the "slow" typing problem in replies, instantly got the ads. Turned it off and life is once again God here in God's Country.

Excuse me for my ignorance Moss. Is that something I have control of?? Probably not.....

Yep. But as I recall, its kinda hard to find in Internet Explorer. I switched from Internet Explorer to Chrome and/or Firefox, depending on computers being used, and I don't have that problem anymore.

Gotta say, I just tried the new version again on my phone, and I still hate it.

Not liking the absence of my home. I have TBN "my homepage" bookmarked, so I can pull it up that way, but I cannot find a way to get to my home once already on TBN.

The menu also does some crazy things with the phone sideways. Like it cannot make up its mind if it wants to display everything like the PC version, or just the 3 lines. And when its just the 3 lines, I can open it and select forums, and there seems to be a sub menu that has "new posts", "PM's", etc. But that sub menu only stays open for half a second then closes closes everything and just goes to the main forums homepage.

Just not user friendly at all on my phone.

My only complaint about the PC version though is the not jumping to first unread. I am so used to clicking on thread titles, I always forget. I say we go back to opening first unread when clicking title. Those that dont like jumping to first unread, can always click page 1 right below the thread title (or whatever page they want). So with the old way, you already had an option of where you wanted to go in the forum.

Not on mobile device.

Not on mobile device.

aha! Mine neither.

aha! Mine neither.

And with the mobile device, when you turn it sideways, it goes crazy. It seems it cannot deicide to display the 3 lines for the menu like when holding the phone vertical, or to expand it and look similar to the PC version (but with different options).

Does yours do that?
