Themeing is all messed up...
 
FlyerTalk pages do not look correct right now on multiple devices.

Seems OK for me?

There are some slight errors at the moment tied to Dark Mode formatting and I'll ask for them to be fixed

It appears to be working now but does now look a bit different. Still, features appear to be working.

There are still a couple things being worked on, so you may find some irregularities for today

I was going to ask about this too, but was having trouble finding the "Post" button. Everything looks ok now, but the stylesheets were returning an HTTP 404, so the page was white and all the text was left-aligned.

I;m still seeing random gray boxes in places, like the one by the breadcrumbs in the screenshot below.

Looks like a cache issue or slow connection

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I don't see a better one.

I was away from FT for a couple weeks, I come back and it appears that Travel & Dining has been scrambled, with the fora in a different order, which is seriously messing up my reading habits. Is this change deliberate and permanent?

Yes, the "Special Interest Travel" category has been dissolved and its forums were integrated into the greater Travel & Dining section. I'm still getting used to it.

Why?

Drop the "Special Interest Travel" designation if they must, but for long-timers it just is annoying to have the order of the fora rearranged and makes it harder to find the forum you want. It doesn't enhance any aspect of FT.

Sorry, I'm just aware that this was done. I have no idea what were the reasons for the change.

IBJoel?

The logical reason is to give more exposure to those forums rather than have them "hidden" under the "Special Interest" designation.

I agree that the current arrangement seems a bit haphazard.

This is correct. Generally I tried to arrange them most active -> least. I made some adjustments to weight existing frontpage forums and which forums I feel have a lot of potential to grow.

"Hidden" - hardly the word I'd use. All it took was a tiny bit of scrolling, not even an extra click. This forum is the one that is best hidden on all of FT.

Now there is no apparent logic to where things are found.

How does Disability Travel, 8.2k posts, rate above Practical Travel Safety and Security Issues, 369.9k posts? Budget Travel seems like a forum with a lot of growth potential, but it's second from the bottom? I can't be the only FT'er who is very frustrated with the scrambled main page in Travel & Dining.
