On mobile, it is hard to discern the bold text that signifies a section (ie Blu Ray Bargains, HD Talk, etc) has threads with new posts, from non bold section titles that do not have new posts. Once inside the section, the red indicator is helpful to know which threads have new posts.

Thanks. Can I get a courtesy PM explaining why my post was edited by you? I understand there's a lot going on right now and moderating requires significant effort, but no post should ever be edited by a moderator without providing an explanation to the poster or putting the reason in the explanation field if the moderator feels it helpful to make the reason public.
As it stands, I have no idea what was wrong with the content that you deleted. But if this is how moderation is going to be done going forward, then I think I'll be kissing this place goodbye. |

I think that may have been IBobi who edited or deleted your post. Keep in mind that we are also not volunteer moderators, but paid employees of DVD Talk's parent company. Also, I'll PM you.
Edited to add: IBJoel did contact me and provide a much-appreciated explanation. Some content of my post broke a rule I wasn't aware of. |

There is. It just doesn't open a new page specifically for that post, simply sets it at the top of the screen.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Editing posts in iOS safari, at least trying to add in formatting codes like bolding and such, is pretty much not possible. Have tried mobile and full site version. I select a word to add a formatting code, and if I try to drag the slider to select the text I want to affect, it selects the whole page.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Didn't notice this yesterday, but today - in the Politics forum - all apostrophes are showing up as boxes (ansii ??). Haven't seen it in other forums I view. I'm using Vivaldi on my PC.
edited to add: Just checked the same post in Firefox - and it's fine there. Maybe a browser issue. |

This statement from the announcement at the top of the forum is not true, at least not for me:
The navigation at the bottom of my screen stays there at all times, but the one at the top scrolls right off when I'm scrolling down. If I scroll up a little, it re-appears, but as soon as I start to move down again, it's gone. It's actually kind of annoying when it re-appears while scrolling up. I would prefer if it was either always there or only at the real top of the page. I'm using Chrome on a Windows 10 PC. |

Are you using the mobile skin on iOS or desktop skin?
also reset my cache (losing all my open tabs, but that’s my fault) the new update doesn’t automatically capitalize the first word of a new line. also, could have sworn there used to be a “stay logged in” check at out log-in section here. Not there anymore, I’ve had to re-log in multiple times this hour. |

Not there anymore, I’ve had to re-log in multiple times this hour. The "Stay Logged In" box has disappeared, but you should just be staying logged in by default (unless you are incognito/private). I will investigate. |

Jesus this looks like shit.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Ha, if you can do any better, contact IBJoel for a job and make it look the way you want.
Few settings adjustments and I’m fine with the changes. Not as hyped about the changes needed to accommodate more ads, but I know this shit’s free, so I’m fine with it. |

Positive comment: As kefrank noted already, I do like separation between sticky threads and regular ones. |

shutting off the infinity thread bullshit is key.

i did a system restore to a week ago, but nothing changed :( ;) |

no offense, but this looks horrible. it looks amateurish and bad now. so much white space. i thought something happened. this is really a terrible layout sorry to say. we struggled for members for so long, this ain't gonna help new comers...
The ads across the top, down the side, and between posts all at the same time are annoying. It just means I have to retrain my eyes to ignore them and reprogram my muscle memory when clicking. I do find it humorous to have the same ad in all three positions at once though. That is a bit much. But, if you aren't buying it means you are the product. My guess is we will eventually see a re-launch of paid memberships that will clear out all (or most) of the ads. |
