Lightbulb Interesting observation on forum format

First of all I hope this stays here in off topic as I suspect more folks come here than they do forum issues.

For quite a few years I have used Chrome. A recent thread I posted about an issue with it and eBay caused me to download Firefox, but I have only used it for my eBay needs, until now.

Maybe it is just me but think I have seen others post about the new format and I agree that it sucks. But when I opened HDF in FF it is normal, at least what it was when I first started using it.

Just a PSA.

I use the Fox & it's a little different, but not much. Seems like you can scroll through all the pages on one page without clicking to the next, bu that's about it. & the reply area looks different.

Pretty sure the offender can be picked out but what's the sense. It is after all THEIR forum, not ours.

That is correct. How about if everyone decided that their thread should be put where they want? What makes your thread complaining about the new format different than all the others in Forum Issues? What's so special about your viewpoint? What is the wonder of it that it needs to be seen by everyone?

Because as he stated he thinks he’ll get more exposure there and thus, more input.

Okay, I am going to put this here, since you mentioned Firefox. I use firefox for HD forum and today FF had an update and now I cannot post on it. I prefer FF, but right now I have to use Chrome to be able to post this or anything else. I took a screenshot and wondering if anyone else is having this issue. As you can see the box that you type into is missing. Thanks have a nice one.

The mods have nothing to do with these changes. We don't work on the tech side of things. We have been passing the complaints up but we get no feedback. We are as frustrated as everyone else. People expect immediate results and **** and moan when they don't get it. It's exasperating to say the least. But we're out front and everyone gives us a hard time. Goes with the job I guess. But it doesn't help.

There is a setting (someone chime in) that configures the forum to the classic look or the iPhone crap look. I have changed mine back and forth. I like the old classic look. I don't remember the setting but someone does.
