Could you please post a screen shot so I know what you are seeing? Thanks!

I’d love recent topics to be on the very top instead of the very bottom.


Click the "hamburger" icon in the upper left corner.

I'm going to collect a list of modifications to consider. I'll add this to the list. In the meantime, you can use the legacy site:

I appreciate the attempt to make it friendlier for some devices, but that’s why I could zoom out on a phone if I needed to.


Please post a screen shot if you can so I know what you are seeing. I have tested on an iPhone 14, and iPad Pro, an iPad Mini, and a normal iPad and didn't see any real issues (I thought it was better in most cases). So, I would like to see if things look different on your device.

iPhone 14. I hate it. It’s impossible to navigate.

Can you post a screen shot? I am not sure what you are describing. It looks fine on my desktop.

Is there a user option to switch back to old design?


Adjust the zoom level of your browser. The older design was small and many users, including me, probably zoomed their browsers for the site. Now you should have your zoom level at 100% (or whatever your preference is).

Oh I found the Go to Original Site button at the bottom - all is good!


Same! Much prefer the old design. Not enough content per view on the new layout.

+1 And also, when I reply to a post, I can no longer see the previous post inline. Maybe you could go back to the old version, and at the top, have a link to "view mobile version", which switches to this version?

I really hate this version.
