New Board Design!

[Rob]

With big thanks to our dev team, we're all excited here today to unveil a long-overdue visual and back-end update to the message boards which should now be prettier, more mobile/iPad friendly and speedier...

Hopefully it's kink-free, but if you hit any problems, please drop me a line.

[FindingNamo]

Any chance you could get them to work updating my back end?

[bdwaygirl]

If I go into a thread with many replies, the print in each reply gets smaller.

[best12bars]

For some reason, and maybe it's just me because I'm older, I find this new design a lot harder to read overall.

[Mister Matt]

It's harder to read when most of the thread headings are not in bold.

[best12bars]

I think the slightly grayer background made it easier on the eyes, too.

The lighter color (almost white now) makes it tough to browse for too long.

(says the old guy)

[bdwaygirl]

This is ridiculous. I can't read anything past the third or fourth post on a page.

[jacobtsf]

Sorry Rob (and Dev team) but it is extremely tough to read, and the bright white does not help at all.

[doodlenyc]

Am I going blind?

[newintown]

Titles of threads don't appear to change color when one has read them.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

I am also unable to read the messages as the page progresses. I'm having to copy, cut and paste into another document to see the message after three or four entries.

[ggersten]

I'm not having any problem reading longer threads. I appreciate the lighter background. I don't think I'm "old" but I don't count as "young" either. I think it looks a little more "dramatic" - but the "latest headlines" look awkward.

BTW, the change happened while I was reading and going "back to the message board" - For a minute, I thought there was a problem with my browser until I realized it was a site redesign.

[bdwaygirl]

The small print problem has been fixed. Thanks, Rob!

[Rob]

The small print problem should now be fixed for those IE users it was affecting... The color change on threads you've read is coming in a few min too.

[willep]

I am not having any trouble with reading it or font size, but I do miss the thread titles being bold so that I knew at a glance whether or not there was a new post in a thread I was following.

[Bluemoon]

Rob - how do you read back through posts on previous pages of a thread? If a thread opens on page 3 and I want to see what was posted on page 2, there's no page numbers on the top of the thread. I'm stuck reading only the posts on page 3.

[willep]

Sorry, didn't see your post, Rob, before I posted about the thread titles. Thanks!

[Calvin]

BlueMoon, I came in to post about the same thing. There are page numbers when you're on the first page of a thread, but once you go to any other page, you have no way to navigate except going back to the first page again and navigating from there.

[iluvtheatertrash]

The young guy can't read it either. This hurts my head and eyes. Let's go back please.

[Calvin]

Scratch what I said earlier -- it's only on the last page of a thread that the navigation options disappear.

[NYTheatre01]

Sure wish there were like buttons like facebook! lol

[JP2]

Hm, not bad...

[frogs_fan85]

Would it be at all possible to add a "mark forum read" option/button?

[FosseBoi]

I'm with iluvtheatretrash, this young guy can't read this either. The white is really headache inducing.
