Still finding scrolling up and down really clunky.. like the screen freezes for a split second but continually so it comes across as very very clunky and annoying.
Infinite scroll it turned off.

Also, check to see if your browser will let you search cookies, and delete FT ones either en-masse, or one-by-one to figure out which is the problem cookie to report back.

I have reproduced and reported the issue of photos auto-placing themselves on top of text. [MENTION=307423]florens[/MENTION], I believe you first brought this to our attention.

You took the post right out of my mouth. Totally Blah and less user friendly.
This reminds me of when Airliners.net decided to reskin. Provided all the tinkering is done, this new site is much less aesthetically pleasing; what's with the underlined links? I feel like I'm stuck in 1999...

I might recommend sending an email to all users with a link to the options page advising them to review their settings.

Hi guys,
Regarding the poll, it's been a bit of a mess. We're fine with polls; we're not completely ok with assessing a new technology while we are less than 24 hours into it and still addressing a pile of bug reports. Bugs will be fixed, and everything will run much more smoothly. At the moment, it just doesn't seem very fair or appropriate. I understand there are people who have already made up their minds in the negative, and that's totally fair; but for the rest, give us a chance to show you what this software actually is, please.
As to the way the was handled, IB got it wrong. There was a lack of internal communication here, and I'm correcting that. I deeply appreciate the passion of this community and I apologize for the way the poll was handled. We will do better.
Now, back to the bug tickets...
Best
Paul

I strongly suggest that you wait and see what the site looks and acts like after we're done smoothing out the bugs; if there are things you don't like then, please use the Suggestion Box forum
Thanks

Sorry you feel that way. I have a pile of active tickets from what's been reported. Bugs are functions that are not working as designed. That's not the same thing as a complaint about something that is working as designed, and someone just doesn't like it. We are at this time not addressing those, as they are not bug reports, which is what has explicitly been requested here.

So, for clarity, can you answer these:
Post reply is left justifying - bug or WAD?
Reply box - font size has been decreased (I may have said stupid small before which is what it is) - bug or WAD?
