Yeah, Admins are an "ads-free" usergroup, but we should have a few, still. The ad kinks are being worked out (the white space, banner ads, etc)

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
Any way to get rid of the footer bar at the bottom of the page (the thing that allows you to navigate pages, jump, etc)?
My notebooks resolution is 1366 x 768, and that footer takes away from my limited screen real estate and with the white-space on the right - it really makes me feel even more claustrophobic.

I miss having the random new reviews pop up at the top. I read more reviews this way than actually searching for reviews or going to the review section.

That's on me. We've been down a person in the department and holidays actually have an increased workload. I should be starting up the newsletter (and thus the headlines up top) again this upcoming week.

There are. Just look at the first post on this thread. Just take off the infinity scroll. In my opinion, having that turned off should be automatic and you have to turn it on instead of off.

Thanks for the heads up on the Infinite scroll off option. Turned it off. Helps with super long threads.

I have been using an ad blocker for awhile and get zero ads on here now. But it leaves a ton of white space. No ads in between threads though which I can't stand.

Honestly, the site looks like a mess and the reason is because the update made the forum more ad friendly instead of user friendly. I don't mind ads on the side, top and bottom of the screen but I do mind the ads between the posts. Made everything harder to read and follow. At the end of the day, I don't see how this "update" improves anything and brings more users to this site.

In some ways you can never win. How long were people complaining "Update your site, you are so behind the times!," then the site is updated and people are saying, "The old site was the best, why did you update it?!"
I'm going to let it grow on me a bit. If you're worried about the panic button, Alt-tab does just as good a job if you're going to get found out by the boss. I'd like the font to be a little bigger on the post typing screen. This old bastard has trouble seeing small things these days (no dick jokes please).

Honestly, after using it for half a day it's not that bad. Maybe it's just the way I browse the site using back/forward mouse buttons to click around rather then drop downs and what not, but functionally there's not a major difference for me. If the formatting and white space was cleaned up, it would be just fine. I'd prefer less ads, or relocating them somehow, or maybe the forum being centered in some way rather then the right side ads making the site look skewed, but otherwise I don't completely hate it.

This isn’t a commentary about Joel or anything, but rather the company itself. I know his hands are tied on a lot of this stuff and he’s really just the mouthpiece and relay. But, man, this site is clearly fading away and it seems other users in this thread are noticing the same thing. It’s truly sad. I love DVDTalk, but everything that’s being going on as of late is just too much for my poor heart to handle.

I get this now in the Video Games forum after going into the User CP to turn off the Infinite Scrolling. Turning it back on does not change it. I also noticed that the Jump button changed to the older version... not sure if that was something that was just changed or not, or if related.
