main screen looks too cluttered

[F0LLETT]

Explain.

[F0LLETT]

Ok, I have to disagree. Its a forum, its supposed to have text.
Every forum I have ever been on / used is exactly the same. It has the same amount of text as before, so why is it a problem now?

If your really that bothered, I could just remove recent posts at top. [FOL] waits for next person to say "NO" leave it and I want this and that. Can't really go changing things just because one person decides they do not like something. Where would it end, it wouldn't.

[F0LLETT]

Ok, I have to disagree.

No you don't, that is a choice.

And so it starts.

No it doesn't, why are you even suggesting this?

You do realise, you didn't even link to the a forum. You linked to a PORTAL.
Try clicking on forum link and bingo. I think people are having problems, with the fact we are not using a portal.

The problem, as described several times now, is the text like "Started by amigakit on Today at 11:30:22 in Amiga Marketplace" using exact same font as the thread topic itself, making it hard to quickly see what the topics actually are.

And what's the point with bold "Today" everywhere stealing attention?

Are you being serious. I really do not see what you are talking about.

[F0LLETT]

Is that better.

any update on what changes will be made to de-clutter the main screen....of course when time permits

When I get some time, I will sit down and work on it some more. I have already made alot of changes people have asked for. As usual, Im met with people complaining they want it changed back.

I think people are going to have accept change and stop complaining about little things that have no bearing on forum usage. Having someone say the forum is completely useless now is completely crazy.

One thing I have noticed, no matter how much free time you give up, 90% of Amigans will complain instead of saying thanks and getting on with it. I thought working on an Emulator for almost 6-8 hours a day, for the last 10 years was bad. Ive had more grief over this forum change than I ever did while working on PSPUAE, and its only been a few months.

Before anyone starts. These are my own personal views and nothing to do with A-EON / Amigakit.

Change is hard.  Russian proverb I heard a long time ago: "New is first enemy of old". 

That being said, you haven't replied to either of my questions about attaching pictures to forum posts.  Is that feature gone for good?  Seems it would make it a lot easier to communicate exactly what the issue is, if we could just post a picture highlighting what's wrong with such-and-such a thing. 

I am so happy to have this site back, I can put up with almost anything. This only thing I would really like to see return, is the ability to add graphics to a post that works.

Seems permissions were missing. Fixed, you can now attach and add polls.

I’d post a screen shot of the unusable site from my iPhone, but there is no way to attach an image to a post!

Either use WAP2 version of forum or set Iphone browser to view as normal site and not mobile.

OH, The Irony! 

Funny, .

To follow up. There is an issue your end.
Site looks and works perfectly on my IPAD3 using Safari. Same for IPhone 7 using Safari.

[F0LLETT]

I know how these work. I know what to expect. So yes "Perfectly",

@ FOLLETT
going back to the 1st post on this long thread: (not looking for when but just curious if it technically can be done)

1- can the title thread can be bigger or bolder/ different colour
2- can the line beneath the title with thread starter , time etc. be moved anywhere else on the screen or removed from where it is now

I will look at what you have said. Just have not had chance yet, haven't had time to use any computers once I get home lately.
Hoping to get some time on the weekend.
