    I use the dark "Cyborg" color scheme.

    Comparing the "old" and "new" user interface on an iPhone 13 Pro:

    IMG_5264.png IMG_5265.png

    The new interface shows less information (e.g., fewer topics per screen, no view count or reply count information). But probably not a bad thing for aging eyes (and we are all aging).

    Also, the "quick reply" box at the bottom is unusable because the page control blocks the "Quick Reply" button -- you cannot tap that button.

    Not saying we need to revert to the old version, not leaving a historical record of how things used to be.

    Carry on!

    @Axtremus the "Cyborg" skin tends to put topics in bold, it seems.

    I use "darkly" and it's not as bold.

        It all seems fine to me. I have to remember to use the icons at the side of the screen, but I'll get the hang of that eventually. I think the overall look is an improvement, kind of in line with what I'm seeing at work with Outlook and what-have-you.

        I was only joking

          And you have to refresh/reload your browser window/tab to get the new interface ...

          I have two Safari window/tabs opened to TNCR, one showing the old interface (and as far as I can tell, the controls still work and I can navigate with them just fine), one showing the new interface. You get the new interface after you refresh or reload your browser.

          I will try to not reload/refresh my old TNCR window just to see how long I can keep using that old interface. 😄

            Works for me. Changes are minor.

            And it works better than it did at 0130 this morning.😊

                Well, the old UI can still be used to read the forum, but I have just discovered that I cannot start a new thread or reply or edit a post with the old UI anymore (and that's fine by me). :man-shrugging:

                  Quoted text is in a larger font - that's a good thing.

                  Toolbars are on the right and left of the main screen. Not sure about that.

                  I don't like it either.

                  I guess we'll get used to it.

                    I don't like how much screen real estate is wasted on this new design.

                    Maybe it can be improved by configuring the new theme. Let's see...

                      OK, so it turns out our old theme is still available in the new NodeBB version. It's just no longer the "default" theme.

                      I assume you guys like this version better?

                            "This" is what you see right now.

                              This morning the interface was very different, now it's very similar to what we had, though still clearly a new version.
