new format not disorienting -- just harder to page through
May 11, 2016 07:39:16 #
on my computer the display of topics is now double spaced, so i see a lot of white space & only half as many topic headings. i now can't skim to find the ones i want to read, so it's much harder to get through all of them.

So far, so not so good.

First try this morning, Almost blank screen apart from a narrow strip at the top, which seemed to be a miniscule reproduction of a whole page. Closing down, switching off , and trying again...Message."Cannot reach the page check spelling"....etc. Now it looks so different to what I / we are used to seeing.

Some issues for sure, but the new "ignore" feature is worth it's weight in gold to get rid of these idiot trolls!

I agree that it's way too much wasted space on computer displays. It looks okay on my iPhone 6 Plus. While viewing on my iPhone, I had ads pop up and cover my whole screen even though I was logged in.

I'm not sure it does. Yes, the print is bigger, but the old "Front" page listed all the messages divided by section--General, Non-Photography topics, the new Gallery pictured for viewing or comment, Post Processing, HDR, etc. on one page and now just the and runs several pages. I like the new layout for the individual posts & pictures, but it sure seems to waste more time wading through the "new" front page(s) to find the posts I want to view.
I haven't even been able to find the PP and HDR sections yet; where and why were they moved
First impression, I like having the senders info at the top of the post; but the new "front" or "cover" page, not so much.
I assume the pictures will get more horizontal space when I find some. I haven't even found any new posts with pictures???May 11, 2016 08:50:55 #
Seems better for a mobile screen but would be better with different css for the desktop.

I should have made it more clear that I was referring to the "Ignore " feature

The majority of my time on this site is spent at my desktop. To much scrolling now. I think to much emphasis has been placed on cell phone viewing. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't hook my DSLR up to my cell phone to upload pictures.

I used to use the Avatars to skip many of the topics without ever looking at or opening then since I have virtually no time to be on the Hog. But now I don't even see the Avatars, so things are definately going to be slower. Now I'm going to be forced to actually memorize who people are by name rather than just a quick visual glance. That alone will make it a lot more disorientating and less likely to look at a topic or other topics for me! I think that alone will curb participation.
Plus I'm probably only seeing half the topics now since I'm probably on a slew of lists but I'm sure there is probably no way to ever know!!! ;-)

I'm probably looking right at the solution, but how do you insert HTML - italic, hotlink, underline, smilies, etc.?

After you click "Reply" there are two small links at the bottom which say 'Show Smilies' and 'Show Tags'.

For me the jury is still out. So far I like it but, will play around and see how it works out for me after a day or so.
