Forum menu
freshness - yay !
Hmmm not sure yet.
still no direct link to classifieds on mobile site.
Needs some kind of floating menu to get back to Overview. Getting to the bottom of a thread and then having to scroll back up to the top of the screen is very annoying
Oh dear.
Doesn't work on Mozilla, links broken. Forum main page is now a mess. Font is nice though.
ooh that's nice, we can have avators now 😀
Not sure what's going on with the font but it looks like the cleartype settings are all messed up.
Yeah we could do with a few basics like a button to take you to the oldest unread post, or to the newest post. Or notifications of replies, and of course a like/thanks button.
But that's big software changes, not exactly just a new coat of paint.
If the forum could get anywhere near the polished level and features of the TrainerRoad forum, I'd be very very happy - but then I also quite like the old-fashionedness, and simpleness of this place...
Have we morphed into Bike Magic?
All this new gubbins and still no button to take you to the last post on the thread
Displaying who was the last poster on a thread has got to be a step in the right direction 👍
It's a bit of a shock, but then all change is.
I miss the menu appearing as soon as you scrolled up a bit. I'm sure it did that an hour ago, now you need to scroll to the top of the page.
The Reply / Report links are very hard to read being black on a dark grey if you're on the dark theme.
Otherwise I quite like it.
I’m with Kayak23 needs a back to top button or menu at the bottom to get back to relevant forum front page.
Swipe left on Android.

Alt-Left Arrow with keyboard
I'm glad the Singletrack header doesn't move down the page anymore. It means people at work can't see what I'm reading all day. Still can't make dark mode work on a PC.
Way too much info on the phone screen. All I need is thread titles.
Ummm. Not sure yet. Let’s see if it grows on me
Well, I don't know what a lot of you are seeing but it looks really nice on both my work desktop & Moto phone. Very easy on the eye to scan through and read.
I like the way the banner at the top disappears as you scroll down the screen too, unlike the old one that was permanently stuck there taking up a 1/4 of the screen for no purpose.
Was there ever a 'back to top' option?
Functionality seems the same to me.
Yup, like that I can see who started a thread and who last contributed, on the forum overview page. For avoiding <those> threads, obviously.
There's an overview tab at the top for me, so no worries.

Clicking the last posters name used to do that (in the olden days, before last version of forum), now it takes you to the posters profile.
Other than that - click the >> next to thread title.

I don't think you're getting it.
The back button doesn't refresh the overview page so, even if you've been reading the thread for a day, the overview page will not have moved when you go back. You still have to tap Overview or hit refresh on your browser bar to make it refresh.
Also, if you've just read a multi page thread from start to end, the back button means you have to go through it all again, albeit backwards.
We had a button years ago at the end of the last post. It was perfect. It was improved away, and we got a hamburger menu that appears if you give the page a little scroll wiggle (on mobile) where you could navigate back.
This next improvement has taken everything away.
Hitting the back button is not the same thing. Very weird decision is all.

Yup, and to get to it on mobile, you've to do the flicky flicky finger thing, up and up and up, and it's there! Ace 😂
Also - the link to the most recent post is back (hurray!) but only if the thread has more than one page. It should be there for all, because muscle memory.
Front page is an improvement too - splitting out in to sections e.g. reviews split from news is good for me, instead of all together.

Funny how mouse-clicks have become such an effort isn't it?! I stil complain about shit like this - but it does only take 2 clicks to get to the last post! Into the thread (or the >> ) and click the last poster's name. Bing bong.
1 click would be such a vast improvement! 😀
Just tried it on my mobile - and yes, having to scroll back to the top is a ball-ache!! 🙂
I mean just how hard can it really be...?
:/ Though those hamsters need a coffee break too.

None of this takes you to a refreshed overview page, all you're doing is going back to something you've already seen before...
Just coming here to winge
I just need to find the right buttons to get comfy.
Argh! I'm so confused! change is scary!
Also – the link to the most recent post is back (hurray!)
Is it? Not for me
If you’re on an iPhone just tap the top of the screen where the time is to auto-scroll to the top of the page.

Witchcraft!!
It's also very broken in Edge ! I have to keep refreshing for anything to work, links, this message box videos....
I like it, it's familiar yet fresh😀
Change i dont mind, it'll take some getting used to but hey ho.
What did irk me was the maintenance being done at lunch time. I'd just sat down at my work desk looking forward to a catch up of the World that is Single Track, nope, not a chance. Surely dinner time on a work day is peak traffic time?
Good grief, it’s had some weird effect on my vision that makes it look like I’ve the wrong contact lense prescription in each eye. Maybe it’s the font?
Thankfully the random logging out feature hasn’t been lost 🙄
Tapping on my clock at the top of my screen also works for me on Android! Mind blown.
Edit to add: but from a user perspective I shouldn't need to know a workaround to easily navigate the site
yeah, this! It's the unnecessary bold-ing.Good grief, it’s had some weird effect on my vision that makes it look like I’ve the wrong contact lense prescription in each eye. Maybe it’s the font?
Also need to do [I]way[/I] more scrolling on the main page now.
but basically, this 😃I’m scared. Make it stop.
A brief history of stw forums:
"waah waah this forum is rubbish we need a new forum"
New forum arrives
"waah waah this forum is rubbish we want the old one back"
And repeat.
I like it. One bit of feedback, when I first launched it, it looked weird, but then I realised that my device (iOS, safari) font scaling was set at 125% which seemed to break the layout a bit. I reset it to default and it works fine again. Not sure you can do anything about that though.
Happily though I think it is more legible now, so not really needing to up my font size.
You only see about 5 topics on a phone screen now, instead of 10—15. Does it add something to users to know who updated a thread and when? Makes it slower to scan read for threads of interest. I'd rather more topics per page.
Maybe it’s the font?
Screen font on my iMac feels x1 weight too heavy. Not quite anti-aliasing properly.
The font in the reply box is spot on - can we use that?
Font looks fine on my iPhone.

Yeah, the Overview page does look very 'busy' on a mobile.
Why are there different icon sizes for the same thing?
Not a fan of the rapid scrolling down to the bottom of the thread from the top when you post something.
