Yeah the massive red thing is unpleasant to be honest. 

Still would love the old button back that took you from the bottom of a thread to the Overview/Latest. 

Gets pretty tired having to scroll all the way back up to access the button which takes you to a refreshed overview after you've just scrolled down.

It's not even available in that 'Forum Jump' drop down thingy, as Overview is greyed out for some reason.

Just go down a bit further past the Forum Jump. It's the one that looks like a list.

Random suggestion - full member label should have no background colour.

The whole site has slid to the right and there isn't a scroll bar to correct it.

I'm at 100% zoom  (normally I zoom in closer) and can see "Single" and "Buy Issue 159" of that ad, "Latest Sto" and "Latest Rev", etc.

I have to zoom to 80% to see the full site

Not just me on Brave 1.75.175 then. Yep, huge expanse of black on the LHS here too.

I had that - but when I signed in everything became good and the big empty space disappeared.

New Red and green  colours in your face. Yet the blue on black stays can you not sort that 1st ?

I'm getting adverts on the left hand side of the screen which pushes the adverts on the right side, off the screen (no scroll bar displayed either).

Along with the forum lurching to the right to accommodate ads. down the left hand side, I've started getting an odd horizontal line (seemingly related to the positioning of the left hand ads.).

I still can't see the right hand column or scroll across to it.

Subscribe button

I mean the "Subscribe to the magazine/website" button, but it was kinda ruined by there being a new page between the non-subscriber complaining about ads hiding the column and my post. See?

Would very much agree with feedback on last page that the red/green membership status flags are way too 'in your face', and that if they are to stay then the freeloaders should get the red DANGER! signal.

I wasn't exactly complaining, just trying to help out as the ads. on the left hide the ads. on the right. 🙄

I might be wrong about this but I think posts have stopped showing up in the Chat forum - you can only see them under "Latest".

Latest chat post under "Latest" is from 49 seconds ago.

Latest chat post under "Chat" is from an hour ago.

Noticed that ^ this morning. Posts are not being updated on individual forums but everything is up to date in Overview if you hit the latest posts button.

It's getting worse - looks like it's not that they are just a while behind, they have stopped updating all together.

Overview has the same problem - last update there is from 6 hours ago in the chat forum.

I feel like there's a database consistency issue going on somewhere.

Yes... just when you think things might be getting a bit better (we can actually see when the last post is now) it goes all Homer

Nothing to do with the new forum as AFAIK it's always been this way, but it's always bugged me a little. What does "posts" in user profile mean? Why does it think I haven't made any?  I know if I look under "forums" it displays what I think of as "posts" I've made, but in that case what does STW mean by "posts"?  I'm confused. Though tbf it doesn't take much!

I think posts means news stories, so only really relevant to stw staff members

Not sure of this is related to the new forum or another glitch but my subscription has just renewed, payment has been taken, but my profile is now showing as Free Member and I'm getting ads and much less positing functionality??? I've tried logging out and back in.

There is something breaking formatting, it reminds me of the old List problem.  An example is here:

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/bully-type-dogs-rationale-for-selecting/

It goes wrong after someone posted an image, and below the edit box is very wrong indeed.

(Chrome, desktop, dark theme.)

Just looked at that thread. Seems that when an external link is used the code isn’t closed so messes up follow up posts.

The Search icon is dark grey on very dark grey.  I didn't even notice it was there until I took the screenshot to report it.

I'm having that issue again where hyperlinks entered using the hyperlink tool in the toolbar are displaying previews rather than hyperlink text.

As @mark helpfully pointed out, the word Search is just a wee bit over on the left 😆

As @mark helpfully pointed out, the word Search is just a wee bit over on the left 😆 

But that returns different results.

Searching for (eg) "Lego" using the Search box returns what I'd expect, the "Lego 'want' of the day" thread.  Using the link gives me a Lego Millennium Falcon build from 2016.  A closed thread, yet seemingly 1 second fresh.

I'm seeing some replies as white against an almost white background which is almost impossible to remove.  I seem to remember something about it being a combination of dark mode from my phone's settings and dark mode as a theme setting and the solution was to turn off dark mode in the theme setting but I can't find any setting like that anywhere.  Is this a known problem?

All's well with the world of politics and justification. STW is back at centre-left, ads fully visible at 110% zoom (but not above this). Thanks

For me, the topic list pages appear quite quickly but are non-responsive for a few more seconds after (page still shows as loading) as if it's waiting for a third-party component to finish loading (Edge, signed-in). Doesn't appear to affect the topic pages themselves.

My posts all show up straight away and have done for a while now, but I still often see threads with invisible replies from others that take a while to show up. The "most recent poster" names & times show on the list but the posts themselves take a while.

Maybe I'm special 😁
