The formatting has all changed, making it really hard to read. Is it just me?

Just realised this. Also, our own posts are green, the same as an OP's. Not keen on either of these.

You can change that in customize though...

pictish · 20/04/2022 07:43

You’ll get used to it. It’s much the same but with easier bolding and italics and more photo capacity. Give it a week.

TottersBlankly · 20/04/2022 07:45

All the information on the re-platforming is here:

@ChessieFL

You can change the colour of your posts in your settings. I had to go back and change mine back to how I had them before.
It doesn't work on the app.
AChocolateOrangeaday · 20/04/2022 07:53

It's really crap.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 20/04/2022 07:57

I miss the "back to top" link at the bottom of the thread. Why get rid of that? It was so handy.

TerminallyIndecisive · 20/04/2022 07:57

I hate it

Vikrum · 20/04/2022 07:59

I honestly thought I was having migraine prodrome. I often see colours differently in the hour or so preceding. I hate this, I fail to see how it's an improvement

Vikrum · 20/04/2022 08:00

Oh, that's helpful!! My username is red, the same as absolutely everyone else's except the OP.

You can choose another colour for your own posts in your account settings.

You can still go back to the top, it’s under the three dots at the bottom right of each post next to bookmark.

lightisnotwhite · 20/04/2022 08:02

Really bad! I can only see the thread I’m on in big font. I liked seeing the box with the most active threads, the Talk page takes forever because everything is too big and now on different pages.

Laiste · 20/04/2022 08:05

Awful. Looks like a site still being built. All squished and narrow.

I'm on a laptop. On my AIBU home page you used to see who had posted the thread, what time that was and who had last posted and when. That's gone. Annoying. Used to tell at a glance if someone new had posted.

Used to scroll down through the threads and see at a glance which one i'd read by the colour change. Now that feature is gone too. So it's crap IMO. Lots worse. Nothing better.

Coldnoseandtoes · 20/04/2022 08:07

Alcoh · 20/04/2022 07:18

@Coldnoseandtoes you can that in talk settings and choose which colour for OP posts and which for your own.

Thanks very much!

ShinyMe · 20/04/2022 08:07

I know people moan every time there is a change, but urgh. I dislike how (on my laptop) the text of the thread only takes up a third of the screen. I have about 3 inches of empty space on the left, then the thread about 4-5 inches wide, then another 6 inches of empty space on the right. I haven't looked on my phone yet.

MaryAndHerNet · 20/04/2022 08:07

I think it's to accommodate more ads.
Just scrolling this thread I've seen far more than before.

1 banner always across the top
Big one in the thread every 10 comments it seems.

Then

StrangeCondition · 20/04/2022 08:08

Not a fan, don't like how you have to turn a page rather than just keep scrolling

Glamora · 20/04/2022 08:08

It's horrible

beastlyslumber · 20/04/2022 08:10

Noooooo it's horrible!

tealady · 20/04/2022 08:11

So much white space on the screen!

beastlyslumber · 20/04/2022 08:12

Also when you click on notifications, it doesn't take you to the new comments, but to the start of the thread??? What's the point of that?

You can change your talk settings to display all posts on a thread so you don't need to click through pages.

I hate the way it's spaced out though and ads much bigger.

PhileasPhilby · 20/04/2022 08:14

I don’t like it at the moment but that’s probably just getting used to the change.

At least all the annoying adverts are loading more easily than before 🙄

CeeceeBloomingdale · 20/04/2022 08:16

It's so difficult to read now on my phone and also navigate around. It took me ages to find the site stuff board. It's full of ads including pop ups that won't clear. I also hate you can't tell which threads you have read.
