My avatar is missing and a week or so ago I changed my profile. It is not what I changed it to.

Enlarging with key strokes is an option, but it also means things can get cropped off the page on the left and right.

I typically visit the site for photos and inspiration; now I see no header for posts with photos. If I want something else I was able to find that easily enough with the old format.

Someone using an iPad found this new format better so I will try on my iPad, but it has made the whole experience of looking at what other people are doing a lot less fun. And I am not generally opposed to changes and improvements. I am an old dog who likes learning new tricks.

I do not like this new format at all.!

Why does something that is working so well have to be changed?

Patricia Drew 12-31-2019 02:23 PM

I agree with "northern lass" : why change something that works well and that we all love ?

Just testing to see if I can figure out how to load a picture. Very cumbersome path to upload a picture but it worked!

Not liking the new "look". Please, can we go back?

1. 1/3 of the screen is ads. It seems this forum has become a huge advertisment not a forum for the users. They're bright, full size and moving-very distracting. I use this forum for the posts. I don't want to see ads at all. I've tried opting out but found I must op out of each ad at their website, not as a bunch. And some ads say you can't opt out. Is there a way to block ads?
2. there's a tall band of ads at the top
3. 1/4 of the remaining 2/3 of the page is about the poster. This leaves about 1/2 of the screen width for the content of the post.
4. the size of the font is too small

The info to enlarge the screen was very helpful

Download the free AdBlockPlus for whatever browser you are using... I have it and don't see any ads at all

I agree with both above. Why do we always try to fix what isn't broken?

catsden 12-31-2019 03:32 PM

Well, I agree about the new look. Perhaps in the furture, when all the bugs are worked out it will be better? Just want to add that although I also don't like ads, they are a necessary thing to keep everything running.

As you have mentioned through out the day, we must be patient while the kinks are being worked out. I am confident things will get worked out perfectly in the weeks to come.
