This is going to be adjusted in time.

Plan is to replace it with something even more relevant. Stay tuned.

I would not know. I don't spend much time on that site.

There are going to be bugs in =any= software rollout. I'd encourage responders, as Aurich did, to offer your suggestions constructively. You can not imagine how many manhours building something like PinSide must take.

I've been using the new version on both laptop (Chrome browser, Kubuntu), and on my iPhone 5c (iOS 8.3, Dolphin Browser). Both look good to me.

Having built user interfaces for the aircrews of tactical fighter jets, I've learned that if you ask 15 users what they think, you'll get about 18 opinions.

Kudo's to Robin and to the beta testers.

I read a few different forums, and this is the only one that locks the width... Shouldn't it be up to the user how wide they like their display? You don't understand why someone would want a wide display, I can't understand why someone would want to read a forum on a 5" screen.

This is a great forum, but I don't think I've ever experienced one version of a site compromised for another. When I saw the desktop option, I thought I found the solution. All it did was slide everything over to the left. lol

... or YouTube? Oh wait, they stopped that. I forgot about that since I left it.

I am having an issue with the feature that allows you to see all posts in a thread by an individual poster. It used to work perfectly on my ipad but now doesn't seem to do anything at all. Does anyone else have this issue?

Worked for me on desktop. I clicked the little man icon for your post, and I just saw your single post.

While this is a great thread to post your enthusiasm for the new upgrades, if you feel you have an important bug, please do report it AS WELL in the same old place:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/forum/bugs

Please include along with your description of the problem: (now, if you truly don't want a team of detectives on your case, do not include the following

1. a screen shot
2. mention whether you were in mobile or desktop view
3. what device or computer you are using (android 4.4, iphone6, Win7, Mac desktop)

-mof

Did yours work before?

Just using the desktop version on my mobile. All is good.

I don't mind the fixed width on the desktop version. I run my browser in a smaller window on my desktop and it's just slightly wider than the center white sections. But when expanding the full window I see what everyone is talking about.

The only issue with the desktop version is collapsing the sub-forums with the blue arrows (or toggle all) doesn't stay that way. It re-expands again on it's own.

edit: can't read, nm

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet: I can't update locations on the pinmap via Safari on my iPad or on my Macbook. The "Save Changes to This Location" doesn't work at all, but if I click on the the "Close Location Editor" button, I get a "are you sure" popup.

Cornelius: Yeah, reported elsewhere - and, I am pretty sure you'll see it fixed on the next site push.

Ah, okay, it's not just me. Good looking out jfesler. And nice avatar!

For me the bouncing envelope for new mail on iPhone 6+ does not open messages.

I've tested this on the production site, and on the beta site. Both work fine on my iPhone 6+. Clicking the bouncing mail icon takes me to the "your inbox" page.

Hey dude. PM me

It works fine on my iPhone 6+

I noticed it didn't work reliably on my S5...sometimes it would and other times there could be a 20 sec lag and suddenly my inbox would appear.

Yeah, some intermittent and random lag happening. I notice this on the pop cap as well, so sometimes I will hit the button twice due to the lag, but of course it reads both hits and closes again, lol. Hard to replicate though.

Phew...that's easier on the eyes on the desktops...thanks.

I'm going to be the freak that says "I like the new site"! Yes I use a phone or tablet for most of my browsing and have often thought it would he great if there was a pinside app to make it easier to read on your phone. This is great if you ask me.

On the desktop version for the upvote/downvote panel, the "clear my upvote button" seems a bit too close to the pop cap button. It's easy to accidentally click the "clear" button instead of the pop cap to close the vote panel.

In the avatar area, in Chrome on Win7, the initials are no longer vertically centered within the DMD screen.

Thank you so much for changing the style of the post boxes!!!!! My brain is much happier!

I haven't looked on my phone yet, but I'm a lot happier with the appearance and use on desktop. Thanks, Robin.

The front page is much improved on iPhone. Now you don't have to scroll pages to get to the first post. Nice update.

Well, I for one appreciate the extra couple hundred pixels.

*edit* looks like it doesn't work on my setup...not sure. 1024x768 screen still does not fill the whole width but I do think it's a little bigger anyways. I assume there's some built in buffer when you say 1100 wide that it's not just the post width.

Everything looks like it is progressing rather nicely here. I know what kind of work is involved in responsive design and with a site this huge and so many features already involved and with new enhancements all working together, it's quite an impressive feat and job well done in my opinion. There's a reason why this is the largest online pinball community and nobody has attempted to try and make another site like this.

I can't stop thinking about how nice the mobile experience is now!

Wish other forums and sites were this good.

I'm not in desktop..I'm using Firefox, but frankly, it's a version that's pretty old... 31.5. It's what's "mandated" for me to use at this location. I'll check it at home on a current browser when I get a chance..I don't expect you to code for 30 revisions back!

It appears that on some threads (perhaps because of large # of posts) that the recent activity link isn't working. Whenever, I click on the newests posts for the Skit-B thread (8000+), it always takes me to the top of page 176. This is on Desktop via Chrome.

EDIT: It's doing the same on the JPoP thread...takes me to the top of the 2nd to last page:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jpop-update-thread%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6mg-raza-and-aiw%E2%80%A6/page/255#post-2488426

When I logged in an saw the Martian it really gave me a chuckle.

Yeah, the jpop thread might be toast, when I posted on page 256 it took me back to page 255 after. Time to lock and start a new one?

That thread is like the Indy 500 with a bad crash. Keep circling around and the wreckage is still there, all 500 times..

magic numbers on computers. 255 and 32,768 How may Pages / Posts was it at.

Those threads have ventured into the space time duality of wave particle uncertainty counts that computers can't handle with mere ones and zeros. Here is the formula for determining the max posts allowed under a single thread heading. Insignificant erratum have been dropped for clarity.

I'm sure this only affects me, however I did want to mention in case it's not just me. I keep my husband's history bookmarked, I troll his posts. On the desktop it's working fine. Mobile, the only option I have is the latest post on the thread, whether it's his post or not.

I thought that, but the Skit-B is only page 176 and 8000 some posts....Jpop is 256 pages

Looks much better on computer after the tweaks, thanks for keeping at it!

Thanks Robin for the update I really appreciate the effort that has gone into this.

Update works like a charm for me on my Moto X Android 4.4.4

It used to be a real pain having to resize the screen all the time and I was constantly flipping from portrait to landscape, scrolling Left - Right depending on what page I was on.... now that has all gone and I can view pinside as it was meant to be I also appreciate now being able to fully view photos fully and able to zoom and scroll around them.

Desktop looks good too with Win 8.1 Chrome. 1680x1050

The problem with editing locations on the Pin Map seems to be fixed. Thanks Robin!!

Thank you, Robin. I appreciate it.

Not really. A few "pinside legends" like Caucasian2step seldom post, but got 20M+ karma because of their ratings. Others because they uploaded a lot of pictures and videos, or listed many places to play pinball. I found the karma points more useful than the number of posts.
