New forum looks great Adam, much faster and smoother. Regarding images, given the option, I'd prefer having a larger size rather than the thumbnails. The smaller size may make the loading faster but as we're usually wanting to see the detail in the images, overall it makes it less convenient and more time consuming.
Scott.
I'm sorry Weirdy, I just don't agree. In the past, I've been on some threads waiting for images to load and I thought I was on dial-up again. I think with the thumbnail option you can select the images you want to see. But, I will listen to the consensus.

Is there a way to set it on the users end as an option. I understand the point of the thumbnails, but I'm +1 for full res from the get go. Having the option would satisfy both parties.
As a mainly mobile user, the thumbnail pics pose a little bit of a problem as they tend to want to align themselves off the screen when enlarged. While it is amusing trying to chase them down as they move around, it will be annoying. And yes, I've tried using the app and the mobile option in settings, don't like em.

I like the new platform Ads, just getting my head around it but seems pretty easy to use and the thumbnail pics make the browsing of a thread quicker, the thumbnail shows enough detail so you can click on it for a full size photo. The main thing is I've kept my post numbers and Overlord status ! I just noticed Pablo has entered his location. We should encourage forum members to do this so its clear who lives nearby !

Yeah I agree Wokka. The location feature is handy. If you want to use the forum on your phone or pad I can highly recommend d/loading the Forum Runner app. It's about $2.50 and well worth the small investment.Originally Posted by wokkaboy

My personal favourite new feature.

Pablo, Darren has set up a new Lite version which might resolve your mobile issues. Also the thumbnails are now 3 times bigger.

Cheers Adam. Chances are I'll still use it as is. The reason I didn't like using the app is it loses a lot of the fancy new features. I got used to the old forum, the niggles with this one are minor in comparison. Appreciate all the hard work that has obviously gone in.
