I'm sorry if someone's asked this before but how do I get the new site to highlight op posts?! My posts are highlighted but op posts aren't.

I'm really not enjoying the new layout.

ElizabethLemon · 21/08/2014 10:19

Ah just seen thisonesforyou's post about highlighting.

HalleLouja · 21/08/2014 10:27

I set it to highlight OPs posts and it doesn't work. Did the first thread but not all of them. Even though it looks like it is still set up.

Hmm

Still not sure.

Love the emoticon buttons though.

The social media/sharing buttons have too much prominence.

GermyJamie · 21/08/2014 11:59

Oh I just spotted the tiny dots that lets one navigate to the top of the page. That's useful but wasn't easy to find.

GermyJamie · 21/08/2014 12:01

Here's what the menu looks like on clicking those dots. It's not great.

In line with most of this new site, the lines are too pale. There needs to be more definition between the sections.

Can I change the colour of the shortcut bar please? White on blue is a notoriously bad colour combination for anyone with sight difficulties. And this really pale blue is grim.

Dutchoma · 21/08/2014 13:05

What the heck has happened? All threads flipped? New layout. Why oh why not leave things alone?

SadOldGit · 21/08/2014 13:06

I tried to change back to classic on customise page but it reverts back to new each time

SignYourName · 21/08/2014 13:06

I've just clicked between pages and my customised settings (all posts on one page, OP and my posts highlighted in different colours) have disappeared. I hope that's just a temporary glitch.

Dutchoma · 21/08/2014 13:08

It fllipped ust from one minute to the other. All threads upside down and a new layout on threads I'm watching.

Dutchoma · 21/08/2014 13:10

And flipped back just as suddenly. Oh well

ghostisonthecanvas · 21/08/2014 13:11

Yay! The options for first, previous etc are at the top now.

SadOldGit · 21/08/2014 13:16

now able to customise and revert back to classic thankfully

ShadowStar · 21/08/2014 15:40

I am hating the way Threads I'm On has changed.

Complete PITA getting bounced back to the very start of the thread. And I want to get the details of the latest posts (not just a number) so I can see if there's any point on going back to a thread I'm on.

GermyJamie · 21/08/2014 15:53

I'm still having a wee problem with the pics at the bottom loading. Both the one in the right hand circle and the ones om the shortcut bar. I really appreciate the changes that are being really speedily made though. Thank you very much mnhq :)

Barbeasty · 21/08/2014 16:15

How do you revert to classic? I can't see an option.

LineRunner · 22/08/2014 00:16

Good question.

LittleBearPad · 22/08/2014 00:20

You can't. You can go to the desktop site by clicking the text at the bottom.

SignYourName · 22/08/2014 08:53

Gah, now I see what everyone is complaining about!

Using iPhone 4 and the navigation is much worse, particularly the changes to Threads I'm On. Why can you no longer see the preview of added posts, and tap on them to go straight to the point you last read? Who wants to scroll down a full post every time?!

The viewing screen is stupidly squashed between the advert and the bottom button bar too.

However, I do like the "clean" font and touch-button option for emoticons. But TIO navigation changes are ruining it for me.

mammuzzamia · 22/08/2014 16:44

This is the first time I've been able to log in here problem free. So no complaints here so far. It seems quite user friendly too
