Ouch! Is this a hideous forum or what? I hope there is a way to tweak layout/skins whatever.

I typically have an adverse reaction anything familiar changing. But this is extreme!
Two thirds of the of width my screen are blank space. While the thread titles are wrapped into the narrow column they are squeezed into. And beside them is a column of badly formatted details of the post and tiny avatars.
One third of my screen is taken up with "Home", Logo and nav bar.
My frikken avatar has become a grinning moron! (Might be appropriate but still)
Sorry to be so grumpy. I know every one has been working hard on this.

try features....
...embrace change....change is good...
ARRGGHHHHH!!!!!! It's not working!
Maybe I'll see if I can find an answer to my question more easily....maybe it is more mobile friendly? Maybe we're just too old and grumpy?
Also interesting that posts can be downvoted into the negative.... sorry Rick
Using Gravitar mixed some forum identities I don't want mixed, and it allows people to track others across a lot of places on the net.
The desktop site actually sort of works, but I can't use mobile and make comments. Using Mobile is so dumbed down... but I can make a comment.
I get draft saved every few seconds. Can't see what I'm writing...
Font size on my phone and tablet is too large or too small, overlaps, and is a general mess.
So, I'm going away for a while to decide what I want to do. At a minimum, I'm likely to make a new identity to escape gravatar again.
I know people are trying, so don't take it personally, but I really am not happy with this at all.
Edit time is set to an hour. Can't we at least get these common things right? That discussion happened before.
This is very likely the last post as potato head and that is due to gravitar. Look for spud sometime in the future. No joke.
It's 2015, responsive layout is expected.

How come many users now have a post count of zero? My 13000 odd gone in a puff. Besides, if I'm reading someones post surely they have made at least 1.
This layout is so broken. On my huge screen, as I type this, there is about 20 text lines. Over fifty percent blank veritical space. That's less lines than green screen text only terminals of days gone by!
How did this ever get by any kind of review?
Thankfully this actually look infinely better on my mobile phone. All the Smile gone. Must be the first web site in the world that is more readable and works better on mobile

No problem, it's just like being at home with the wife and daughter!
Doing this live?
Completely unacceptable.
Later kids. Hope it works out.

Agreed, rather large gutters / tramlines , but then gmail suffers a similar squeeze syndrome too...
Seems we are getting stuck in a world where "someone else" always "knows best."
Editing seems to be able to "trap-users inside a quote ??"I had to restart post to escape the quote-vortex, which seemed to start when I edited the quoted block.

Just change the email that you use for the Parallax forums. Then it won't know where to pull the Gravatar image from.

Your post count is still there. It's just not displayed on with the threads. If you look at your profile you'll see that you have 13,852 posts.
Maybe that -2 rating makes mindrobots post sink to the bottom !?
Parallax, please tell me you have a REALLY good reason for this switch...
Are you sorting by Date Added or Votes?
Still, this just isn't useful to me it it's current form.
Good thing I'm gone for a while. I'll evaluate it again in a week or so.
Again, a complete change of software is not an upgrade. This should have been beta tested.
It seems to sort the posts - so mine with a -2 ranking is now at the bottom of the thread. That destroys any sense of chronology in a discussion thread - topics will get mixed up.
It will be abused - don't want to see someone's post - just down vote it a lot!
Are you sorting by Date Added or Vote
(Arrgh trapped again in quote-indenting....)You are right - default sorting by votes seems quite a bizarre choice ?!..nope, even edit is stuck inside the (miss) quote-vortex with no escape ...
There you go, your post is now set -2
At least you eventually return from an interrupt ....
"you'll want to sort by Date Added"
No doubt I do. No I don't want to set the damn thing. Why not a rational default?
(everyone else is stuck @ 00 ) ?
