I can't afford the bandwidth at 100, but I just bumped it up from 20 to 30. Hope that helps.

Love the new site.
I might go a bit smaller on the fonts to condense stuff a little bit.
And consider playing with the responsive design settings a bit. You can change the breakpoints.
If I use my phone in landscape, the headers and stuff jump to a pretty large size.
And on my tablet the headers are large in both portrait and landscape mode.
Personally, I like to set stuff up so even unregistered visitors see the threads, and not just the headers and an advert.
(Note the responsive design also effects whether signatures are shown, it is great deleting them in portrait mode on phones, as it does now on mine at least.)

Thank you for your hard work on upgrading site.
Overall upgrades are very nice, but I'm with others on font "Default Style"switching to "XF 2.2" was a must for me.

"Default Style"
- Font type hard to read
- Page format/scale/layout to large (feels like 130% zoom)
- Phone/11" Laptop it's so big/spread out it, reminds me of using a microfilm reader LOL. Making smaller/condensing would be welcome.

Watched button does the same thing, but it disappears unless you scroll all the way to the top of the page.

Thanks, Ryan... I know you're going to have a fun weekend... or 2... --lol--
One other thing - someone already mentioned it - I had my account to list IIRC 40 messages at a time... any way of bringing that variable back? Otherwise I lose entire pages of posts when I'm not constantly on!
Rock on, brother!

Oh... a dark theme would be nice. ;-)
The top doesn't display my user name just my sig pic and I don't see any drop down...?
I'm not trying to be a jerk but the way this is displaying and operating for me, it is the most unusable forum format I've ever seen.

The width of your window or screen can effect what you are seeing. On a phone or tablet rotate it. On a computer make the window wider...

Click on the envelope on the top right corner of the screen, and you can choose to start a new conversation. That’s what PMs are called now.

Went into a thread I have in classified to say its sold, and there's no "post reply" button. After the last post at the lower right it says "You have insufficient privileges to reply here.".

Some threads have multiple ads between each post, it’s way over the top. One page had six garage ads.

This.
Serif fonts display horribly on screens, especially really tall, narrow fonts. Serifs are meant for print, not for displays.
Pick almost any sans serif font, it will be a million times better.
OP
Can you send me a link to that thread. If you are logged on, you should not be seeing that....
OP
Thank you sir. Just put it on the list.

I now seem to have to reduce the size of my pictures to upload. That is inconvenient and wasn’t necessary previously. Otherwise I’m slowly adjusting.

Was the theme update removed? This was the before, then when I go to perferences it's looks like the second picture.
After:
Is there a chance we can get a dark theme? I ask this because all the white is extremely "bright" in a way. Most forums I'm on there is a feature for a darker color theme and it makes browsing on a laptop/phone much easier on the eyes..etc.
It's funny seeing GJ and being used to how it looked for 10+ years, then it was down and now looks like it does all modern..lol. Nice job. definitely adding pictures is much nicer and you can put it in the thread and add text...etc. I didn't dislike the old way but this way is much better.
Thanks,

Here's an example. Some sub forums are better than others. This was the worst, but still representative of most.
ETA, another screenshot f a different sub forum

It was mentioned previously, but I think it got overlooked. When trying to upload pictures that would normally work, I am getting an error saying the file is too large.

Ryan, any way to get rid of the ads plastered everywhere? Thanks for all your efforts.
OP
WTF? You shouldn't be seeing those at all. I'm trying to figure it out... I'll get there.
OP
Think I just figured out the ads... gonna take an hour or so for those changes to propogate.

That was the default style. It was cached... I don't have the time right now to manage two styles... BUT, I will be doing a dark theme....

Hmm... I changed it to "stock XF 2.2 style" an hour or so ago and alll was good.
I came back (still logged in) and the font reverted back to original. Went back to preferences and "style" is gone. I am now stuck with the original. I logged out and back in and still no go - "styles" is gone in preferences.
Already fixed
OP
back to file size limitation.
Is this why there is no longer a feature to "View All" rather than going page by page when looking at a thread ?
As far as changing the font, I have no option to change style/font.
OP
Correct. "View all" was a hack that I did with VB. I haven't tried to code that for Xenforo, but plan too...
I am working on fonts right now in an effort to ease the pain for some folks.

Either I am used to the original or you already changed it to something easier to read. Either way, my eyes say thank you!
I see where the "Style" button should be when Git posted a screen shot. However, on my drop down, Time Zone is the highest I can read where I suppose "style" is supposed to be at the top.
I see you have the font changed, Much better on the PC and on the phone. THANK YOU ! !

That was cached... if folks can see it now, they won't be able to for long...
OP
I was getting font complaints right off the bat... and I was all like, "What the hell? I literally used the most readable font ever developed - the font used by the US highway system... How can these people complain?!"
And then I realized Garamond (the font I use in my blog posts) somehow got merged into the forum...
FML.

Might as well pile it on. Search seems to be hit or miss. I'm assuming that the indexes haven't finished building, but just in case they have... There's holes.
