Sir Gareth Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) The mobile version isn't fit to the display of my iPhone 5C (iOS 10): Additionally, can user tags please be minimized to consolidate space? Edited September 22, 2016 by Sir Gareth

Personally I'm very glad the performance seems to be very good. I'm also confident. Thanks for all the hard work already done and for all this dedication! The performance is like you said very well...Everything loads very smoothly. For me this is more important then some minor layout issues... I do agree some more contrast could be added to separate each post. Now it feels a bit like "too much white".

samurai-turtle Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I don't think the one button at the top is working. It is the one with three horizontal lines. (I am also getting a red circle withe a number in it.) But, I might need to up grade something but everything seems to be working for me so far.
Gnac Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Some functionality will take some getting used to, but it's pretty good to have it. My only concern was upon discovering that the link to my "posted in topics" thingy no longer worked, but I see that it's now been incorporated into some nice new customisable widget. About 15 years ago I used to run a forum-based website on my own, and I dreaded each major version update of the board software because I had no idea if I'd be able to carry over my themes and code customisations without breaking something or starting from scratch. That was only a small forum, so I can understand what a mighty task it is for a busy 10+year old forum with what appears to be several million posts. Aaah, it's great to just see the place back after only a day. Edited September 22, 2016 by Gnac
Takanuinuva Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 This will take some getting used to but I think something is missing. There doesn't seem to be a link to go to My Content- So I can see all the topics I've posted to and see which ones have new posts.

I guess I'll have to post again in any topic's I check just to get notices again as only this topic appears in content I posted in. Also checking on the topics. Any links posted before the upgrade are no longer clickable. There all just there base text.
Borex Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I am never fond of changes, but i am just an old guy that doesn't see the fun in learning everything anew when everything was working fine (for me). Anyway in a few months we all are used to the new EB probably. When this was a social network i would have pulled the plug, but this is Lego so i give it a try :-) That being said here's some of my thoughts (do with it as you like - ignore for instance). Overall it's way too bright. When reading and you start squinting, and not because your eyes are bad, it's probably too bright. Is it an urban myth that white screens cost more energy and are therefore less eco-friendly? I know my mobile will run out faster with all the white. Anyway, it does look fancy and clean though. The desktop version is not really that different what i was used to, so i can work with that. I am not a fan of the mobile version. First, also too bright. Second, i have the feeling i have to scroll a lot more. I don't know, the name and avatar and country and symbols take a lot of space. This is just something i'll get used to probably. Furthermore i have the same problem as Sir Gareth that the content doesn't fit the display. I'm on a samsung galaxy. By the way, how can i find just the overview of all forums on the mobile? There's three options. one for your account, one for searching and one with a newspaper (is this a symbol for timeline or something?), how do i get to the overview? Thanks people of eubri for your devotion, energy and time to run this forum.

Personally I'm very glad the performance seems to be very good. I tested the "All Activity" stream and even for visitors that function is working. If that is intended then great --but if not, I think the server will save up some load if you disable it for visitors who are not logged in.
BrickFit26 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Looks good so far from my Mac OS X laptop.
makoy Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 @Hinckley when you quote a username like this -- don't you think we can use a more subtle colour that blends with the post? It is the default colour in the default theme.
Dannylonglegs Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Well hello there! Everything is so new! Very exciting!... and just a teensy bit intimidating... Thank you immensely for all your hard work, all you magnificent folks who run this wonderful website on which I spend far too much of my time. As Flipz said, having an option for those of us who like to write out the BB code would be pleasant, but not needed persay. It's just a little odd to me that when I type out :tongue: it automatically pops out as this: Also, for a moment there, I thought my ability to stalk people by hovering the mouse over their account and seeing what topic they were looking at currently had stopped working, but It actually appears to depend on the user... or maybe I'm misinterpreting the new format... Does it no longer inform an individual that a user is "Offline"? That could be what I'm seeing. Another thing that I've noticed is that in Replying and Topic Starting, there's no longer the option to view your post before sending it... which is kind of important to me for spotting my innumerable typos. But of course, I'm sure that will be fixed as you all work on this. Would that you were getting payed, because you all certainly deserve it! Thanks a bunch! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited September 23, 2016 by Dannylonglegs

You still can - the preview button is the last icon on the editor (paper with a magnifying glass icon). In principle it is better because you can preview for different devices but it is not working at the moment... it shows blank when I tested it just now. I don't remember this in the old forum version but when you highlight part of the post, you can directly quote it so you don't need to edit the post to quote a certain part or snip pictures.
Umbra-Manis Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Another question for the Staff: (Maybe after they get a well deserved break) Is the old friends system gone? Or is that something else which will be rebuilt in the coming days?

You're very right! I totally missed that feature (an improvement!)! Thanks! Also, noticed that the desktop version of the site is really wide on my phone, but I can live with that. Maybe I'll finally use the Android version. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited September 23, 2016 by Dannylonglegs

TwistLaw Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Well this will take some time to be used... but good job so far. Guess I'll give you guys the time you need without complaining. Just a little thing that many said: please do something about the contrast my head hurts after ten minutes in front of the whitest page I've ever browsed. Darker colours for the background wolud be much appreciated. good lord what's wrong with my signature... is it just me or it's in very light gray?
makoy Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 @Robert8 @Dannylonglegs the notification for this mention is ON by default so unless the user change this setting people should get notified. I tested this also with the latest Chrome browser in Android M, and the list of users while choosing who to mention appear at the bottom instead of inline. Probably a bug?
CM4Sci Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Gotta be honest - I sorta kinda hate it. It's Brickpicker, which I like. But the EH version is a mess on mobile. I don't know if it's the wifi here (I'm not at home) but this site is extremely slow now. I just don't know if I like it. Tagging is cool. Everything is a bit too bright. It will take a lot of getting used to.
BrickJagger Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Sorry, I don't like this upgrade at all. Everything is much too flashy and hi-tech. The old forums had a much better look. I think the main problem is that most of the backgrounds are currently white. Also, most of my PMs were deleted by the looks of it. The poster info has the username is some ghastly font, as well as randomly including the member title twice. @Robert8 The tags are pretty fun, I'll give it that. They're also pretty useful. Edit: How on Earth did my post count go from 2084 to 1999? Edited September 23, 2016 by BrickJagger
Robert8 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 @BrickJagger I know right! And everything looks so hi-tech. This like being in the NASA But keep in mind that this is not final. The colors, the format, etc, will be fixed. They said this will take like 2 weeks to complete. So, let's give them some time Also, they explained they had no choice because they were not getting support anymore with the old software
Sir Gareth Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 @BrickJagger Come to think of it, my post count dropped by almost 300... Right when I was finally less than 100 posts away from achieving the rank of Duke...
