Regarding the style, Retro Winter looks good when reading a post. The "New Post" page style absolutely sucks. Those big honking icons are terrible (what do the different colors represent? it is not intuitive...). And it is simply hard to scan thread topics. Very hard on the eyes and I have very good vision and have never had any eye problems. I've seen this style on other forums. I stopped browsing Epic when they went to VB4. Hopefully the thread browse style can be upgraded to be more easy to read. Like I noted, thread view looks great in Winter Retro.
I might prefer that actually since the autodetect was causing issues for ipad users (ahem, o3jeff)
Thanks, the full site on the iPad is nice. My only complaint is on the mobile site, is there a "New Post" link? If it's there can someone tell me where it is?
um, how do i get mobile version? my iphone keeps coming up with full version
From the full version change the theme (bottom right of the page) to "Default Mobile Style".
Click on the icon with 9 little squares in it, at the top-right of the page:

You'll get to a screen that looks like this:

Click on the What's New icon.
ah, thanks.
i don't like the new mobile version, please reinstate the old one.
Thanks Bvibert, thats what I was looking for. I just thought that thing was a decoration up there.
Full of complaints today, huh?
I don't think going back to the old one is a possibility, it's a function of the newer forum software version.
For me the new mobile site is the best part of the new software version, the new full site I can take or leave. I've been using it over Tapatalk, which I had been using as a slightly better alternative to the old mobile site.
nobody pays attention to compliments.
as for new mobile, there is too much space and unneeded details. i liked the old one in that it was a concise list of new posts. now i can see 1.25 new posts on the first screen -

I can see that being annoying. I don't use the new posts search, so it really doesn't bother me. When I'm looking through the different forums I appreciate the added detail that wasn't there on the old version. Also, get a bigger screen, I can see 3-4 posts on my Razr.![]()
It would be nice if the gear deal posts weren't in there though...

I thought Nick said he found a patch to make them not show up. Maybe he just hasn't had a chance to install it yet?
