I like it just takes getting used to. Fonts are a nice size, but I haven't tried it on the smart phone yet. Maybe make the fonts a slight bit darker in the posts.

"Where it is at" shouldn't be a reason for change. Twerking is where it is at too. It doesn't mean dancing has gotten better. There has been specific issues with the "improved" site. Some have been addressed. Others have not.

When I cut and paste text from other sources, the text is in a "window" within the thread rather than embedded in the thread.

This is the new site layout and we will not be going back to the old site. Sorry you don't like it.

As for the issues...I am getting to them as I can and when time allows on my end.

Can't see the number of pages.

Pic#2 and 3:
The post looks small in relation with the member footer message. Getting use to it though....

I know you are. I didn't mean to infer otherwise. I know you have a lot on your plate. I don't know if you can tell but I am not a great embracer of change. You have stated as a web designer that the site needed to be more responsive. As the end user of the website, who has used the website on a mobile device, I disagree with that statement.

Thanks for the photos. I will see what I can do with this. I agree with pics 2 & 3. I will have to go into the theme code to see if I can figure that out. May not be this week but it will get done.

If you experience any issues please let us know.

Some users may need to clear their cache and reload the page for all features to load.

Hope you like it.

It's sure a big change - I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it (a change is as good as a rest?).

One issue I've had, with multiple attempts, is to log in. When I enter my user name, then the password, in the entry boxes, no text actually shows up and the boxes appear to remain blank. Frustrating, since the first few times I just
kept clearing the cache, closing and re-opening the browser, and trying again. I did notice the cursor wiggling around a bit on my attempts to log in, so I did the user name entry, hit tab, then the password entry, clicked Log On, and gained entry.

Win 7, IE 11.0. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

O.N.G.

Fixed. I re-aligned the page number boxes as well so they fit better on all pages.

This was an IE issue - didn't like the size of the input boxes. Has been corrected,

I posted this as an issue as well. Hopefully Caltek will have it fixed up in no time.
