When browsing a forum and clicking the "go to last post" link I'm noticing lag as first the thread is loaded to some random page and then advanced to the last post. I see this on both desktop (Chrome on Mac) and phone (Chrome on Android). I did not see this behaviour before the update.

not a fan of the rollout so far ...

I view FT in the same way, iPhone and full DT version, and I’m not noticing this issue. Maybe I’m doing something differently?

Oh, one more thing. The blue "Subscribe" and "Reply With Review" buttons don't seem to change at all on rollover. Consistency and predictability are good things in website design and functionality.

Not sure if it’s just me but the like button functionality is intermittent at best (in safari FWIW)

I've decided that I don't like the orange buttons as when I see them, I instinctively think of the red "thread closed" indications. It's very annoying.

And they the bloated blobs take up more of the screen area. Less screen area for the threads/text.
And those yellow "non announcement" streaks do the same

Just out of curiosity, how did the lack of such a fundamental function make it past QA?

From the posts in this thread to date very obvious that QA, checking & testing with various common browser software was not part of this software downgrade.
Why do FT/IB want to drive customers away? :confused:
Change for the sake of change.

Agreed. That's how it looks to me, too.

I'm having this same issue with Safari on my MacBook Pro, I'm having to use Chrome to view any threads.

Anyone else find that the font difference between unread and read threads/forums seems to have changed significantly? Used to be bold for unread and regular text for read, now it seems like "100% bold for unread, 80% bold for read". Very hard to distinguish on mobile.

Indeed. cf the picture above.

This is definitely an issue: there's not enough font distinction between read vs. unread on mobile devices. :td:
(It's fine on the desktop version. ^)

It might have been fixed already, but this works fine here (Firefox 69 & Win 10, desktop version)
