Not an improvement. Go back to old style. It's better.

Honestly, the new style is growing on me. But I still struggle with replying to messages on an iPad as the line of text I'm typing disappears.

This has been my problem on the mobile site.

Have wikis ever shown on mobile? Think I remember having to switch to desktop for that...

Can you tell us how? I can't find it to save my life.

From the looks of it (you still have old buttons in posts), you'll need to clear data for FlyerTalk and that should resolve it. On iPad, go to the Setting App>Advanced, then you can clear FT's data.

My 2 cents on this whole "upgrade" is what the heck was IB/FT thinking. Don't know how it could have been made any worse without a lot of planning.
I've asked for a fix to this, thank you.

Any word on fixing font size in the "My FlyerTalk" section? (And in the reply to thread box) a bump in size by a point or two would be quite helpful.

they were working in mobile for quite a while until the recent update*; the only quirk being that infinite scroll made it nigh impossible to get to the top of the screen to see the wiki without also triggering a page load, so it was generally necessary to use << to go to the first page of a thread in order to view a wiki.

*although now that you mention it, I vaguely recall that this was not always the case.

The jump to first unread post function still isn't working for me. When I click the new little icon on the forum page listing of threads, it sends me to a random post in the thread, this morning to a post that I had written so obviously I had already seen the post. Other times I'm sent to the top of the thread, but the further option to click to go to the first unread post at the top of the forum (in the blue bar, on the left) is blank as if I've already seen all of the posts in the forum. This is happening today on my desktop (new windows machine using chrome) and ipad (pro using safari and NOT the mobile version of the FT site).

Would Opt-in the FT old style even be an option? Maybe soon, please?

Just visit the other master thread on this topic (see the wikipost):

Any further thoughts on notifications not being received? Is there any form of mail test we can do to rule that out? I'm not seeing the e-mails even hit my hosted anti-spam solution...

Hi - just wanted to bump this back up. The sizes are still really small and actually hard to click on because they are so small.
