Perhaps I'm just dismembering :p, but I think things have been like this for quite some time:

I rely on the subscriptions page every day to manage my FT use & have never found the "unsubscribe" links inconveniently placed. That said, it would be easy enough to move the unsub link flush right in the box to provide separation from other page elements:

Even after closing the ads (there are always 2 at once), it still pops up!
Frustrating indeed.

I'm also unable to login with FB. Reported!

VickiSoCal posted this screen shot from presumably her phone, which shows a problem.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29064052-post17269.html

As she said "Arggh. I'm trying to show that the side menu to take me to other forums isn't working anymore."

So perhaps IB can add that to the list of things to fix.

Also, curious - why if we reply is the type incredibly small during typing & yet appears normal when the post actually posts?

The wiki layout is bad, as has been mentioned.

It's ridiculous that when looking at a forum list of threads that the width of the last post, replies, views is approximately half the screen, which means the title of the threads is smaller. We really don't need a ton of white space for something like 44, 8K.

Welcome to IB land ;)

Font in reply box is stupid small - deliberate or bug?

If deliberate, why?

If bug, please fix.

This has been reported by at least one other person, so I'm trying to get some progress on it. What browser are you using? We are unable to reproduce on Chrome/FF

While viewing on my iPad, when I get to the last post of a thread and start reading, the screen sometimes throws me back upthread several pages for no rhyme or reason. I then have to scroll back down to the last thread even after I changed Mobile One to "FT Desktop NG".

*sigh*

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Can you guys please revert back to the previous version and fix everything before going live again with this version again?

If I could read the poll, what would both the questions be?

IBJoel Nov 16, 2017 10:41 am

Polls are working. As this is a thread for resolving specific technical issues, it was closed for being off-topic.

If you can agree that my suggestion above is what you also need then hopefully that'll start the wheels rolling to get it restored.

Yes I finally had a chance to try your suggestion and it does appear to work. Thank you.

On firefox (48.0.2) using "Standard editor, extra controls" there is a new font which is thin and condensed. The box is fixed size, ie does not scale. See attached image.



I'd like to point out one thing that has improved, with big hope that is doesn't get reverted or "enhanced". The "Manage attachments" under "Standard editor, extra controls" now has the upload button within the screen (ie does not require scroll action like it did before). Please keep this! See second attachment.

I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering correctly... wasn't the "Show Printable Version" able to show all posts in a thread at once, or at least more than the 40 posts per page limit? I admit I've never used the feature before, but it figures that now that I want to actually print a rather long thread, I can't get it to give me more than 40 posts per page. I also tried the old "archive" trick and that doesn't seem to work any more.

I checked the older version, and it seems as though there was indeed a 40 post/page limit.

Not here still. On mobile! And I cannot remove a space left of the [ quote bracket on mobile. The cursor won't go further left than on [.

I would note that the poll was closed by IB staff, not by the moderators.

Are there extra scripts or something running on the new version of FT? It's quite noticeably slower to load pages than the old version and posting replies are much slower as well.I'd estimate 3-4X slower than the previous version.
