Yep, topics showing light grey on a dark blue background for one thing anyway, very very hard to read thread titles.
Is this an improvement??????
OK so let's put to use these separate buttons to 1. lol at, 2. agree with or 3. like a post, and really see who stands where on a crucial issue:
ROG is better than Sexton.
Take another week off and do it properly....it's not user friendly, it's a nightmare to navigate, Jesus, what a balls-up
The mobile site is a disaster.
Thanks, Buer.
The full site is glitchy as **** so far. Teething problems which will be ironed out, I'm sure.
Not too bothered about the full site; the large banner ads at the top of the page are not welcome at all but generally I'm relatively ambivalent to it. The touch site is a dog's dinner though. They had a format that worked well on mobile. Now they've just tried to replicate the full site layout on a small screen which doesn't work very well.
Finding my way here took me a full ten minutes. Just for you all to have said my opinions anyway.
How do you get to the full site on a mobile?
If you're using Chrome you can go to the options, three dots in the top right (in Chrome itself rather than on the site) and tick the desktop site option.
I'm sure the boards.ie people have worked very hard on this site update so don't want to go and rubbish all their work but initial impressions are not good.
Is it even finished yet I wonder or have they just brought it back online prematurely.
Been a shít show of a migration so far, to have this as the end result would be a disaster tbh.
Ah jaysus, where's the touch site gone. This is shocking
I would like to speak to the manager please.
Going by a lot of the twitter responses there's an air of "I demand a refund for using this free service"
Very handy being able to scroll to bottom of the page on mobile and see all 3 and a half thousand active users.
I don't want to rush to judgement as sometimes a new layout takes a while to get used to - but this seems objectively and by every measure worse than the old site, slower and less functional?
And I'm on desktop - mobile is appalling.
I blame Jemma O'Doherty
Well, this ... is f*cking awful.
Like, the browser site now looks like it's designed for mobile and the mobile site is a total shitshow. What is the obsession with making things look like it should be on a phone in your browser? So much wasted space.
Where's me LOL button gone. This is an outrage.
Can't say I'm loving the change. Seems generally slower to me, and the Search functionality is far more limited (and it just doesn't seem to be working, but I'm sure that'll get ironed out).
On the plus side, I've just found the Edit functionality, which will save me some heartache when I inevitably overreact to something.
The board's people haven't done much...it's the Canadians who ran with this and have made a haymes of it
Hopefully there are still updates happening and it starts to run smoother over the next few days.
Don't think that's entirely true, from reading their updates on Twitter it seemed like a bit of a miscommunication. The actual migration to the platform was done in a couple days, there was then issues with the boards/distilled media devs trying to implement a 'theme' on top of the vanilla standard theme which caused the main delay.
The Canadians shut up shop on Friday and didn't go back to work until Monday... Board's weren't aware this was happening, so it's probably a bit of both tbh
The Canadians? All of them, eh?
That's down to Boards though, you don't get weekend work unless you agree up front and pay the extra for it with any IT project. It's their project to schedule, the thing with Vanilla is it's just a hosting platform, so they would've gotten support off them for the migration etc but all the design and that is down to the boards team.
So far this is less than ideal.
On a wildly unrelated note, looks like Djokovic will end up the most titled men's tennis player which is unfortunate as he is least likeable of the triumvirate.
Understatement of the year so far.
Has anyone figured out how to get to followed threads on mobile
At the bottom of each page there is a quick links section. I think you want the My Bookmarks link
I have no My Bookmarks link. There's a my Discussions, but that's empty when click it
Top right corner, tap the little round face thing, then tap the star
