Or alternatively most of them would like to complain about it, but can’t be bothered with the pain involved in actually using the forum to voice their views!
That’s if they even knew this thread existed! |

I guess the site wide announcement on top of every page with a direct link here made it extra difficult to know where to go.
Not to mention the fact that it's in a smaller font size than everything else. EDIT: for example, this thread in the DL forum with people at least initially unaware this thread existed. |

In other words, 99.723937052% of members just don't care. ;) OUCH! This new format hurts my eyes and I have decided I can't really read much on FT anymore without getting major eyestrain. Maybe you aren't getting many members "caring" in this thread anymore because they are leaving the site? |

So 0.00204239889% of posts on FlyerTalk have been devoted to this issue. Also, according to https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/misc...sted&t=1900802, 196 individual FTers have posted in this thread. In other words, 0.0276062948% of members have felt passionately enough about this topic to comment on it. Even if you take the conventional forum wisdom that about 10% of members are actually active, then 0.276062948% of active members have commented on this topic. In other words, 99.723937052% of members just don't care. ;) |

Because the title of "Announcement: New FT style!" makes it obvious that it contains a link to a feedback and troubleshooting thread :rolleyes:

I still cannot "Like" more than once in a thread session, and the only response I have received is an instruction to clean out my cache, which I am not going to do each time I come to FT. At least one other user reported the same problem. But, after the cache-clearing suggestion, I have seen no IB response to indicate that they accept that a problem exists. |
Considering one of the issues some of us have reported was not being able to actually post to FT anymore, maybe some people that encountered that same issue just gave up trying to post on FT, rather than trying to find a solution that was hidden in a not well sign posted thread in a not often used subforum.

Here’s a new one (I think). Sub-forums aren’t displayed properly in the main forum list. Here, the AF and KL forums should be indented.
Ugh, well it’s not showing my screen cap in the post.

If clearing your cache doesn't work, please let us know what browser and device and forum skin you're using and we'll try to help more.

As for the order of the forums in 'Airlines and Mileage Programs', it's still extremely annoying that you can't sort the list alphabetically, ie. why does 'KLM Flying Dutchman' and 'Virgin America' appear in the A section? There's probably some good reason why it was done, but for someone scanning the list, no matter how many times, I always need to do a double take due to the non-alphabetical order.
The current colouring and layout don't make this sufficiently clear at first glance. But the logic seems impeccable. |

Font Size
How is it that this far into the process, on the list of threads (New Posts) the font size of the thread name is STILL considerably smaller than the OP name and the date it was started? Who cares

In the old style, after "Air France, KLM, and Other Partners | Flying Blue", the next two lines were indented to give an instant visual indication that they were sub-forums of that forum (ie "Air France Frequence Plus" and "KLM Flying Dutchman" were indented and IIRC there was a different colour applied to the background behind the circular logo). The same was true for "Alaska Airlines | Mileage Plan" and the next (indented) line "Virgin America | Elevate pre 2018". So whatever was done then was definitely do-able because it was done. |

Sorry, that's not the point. It's not a question of sorting, but of pointing out the sub-forums.

The indenting we can work on. But the post you quoted specifically called out sorting, which we cannot.
