✨✨ SMF Upgrade - Feedback Thread ✨✨

[normanaj]

I was just trying to change it on my end . Zoom to 100 % helped the size . Not the brightness .

I actually went 133%,doesn't overfill the screen.Using Firefox on a 15" laptop.

On phone only here - no computer. I changed to dark mode and made it much better. I do miss being able to see where others are from.

Yall put alot of hard work into the upgrade, Thanks for all you do.

Later to the show so some of the bugs have been adjusted.
Only logged on with desktop platform so far and uh um OK. I'll try it mobile in a day or so.
I've never understood the desire to rebrand (change) something that wasn't broken

Totally understand the sentiment, @Fueling Around! Technically SMF was "broken." We were logging hundreds, maybe thousands of system errors per day and the bounce rate has been sky-high since about June of 2025. So the upgrade and cleanup desperately needed to happen.

The only thing I don't like so far is the "Who read this article". I never noticed this prior if it was already in place as I rarely read articles.
I like my ability of +Lifetime Premier+ to stay hidden unless I choose to respond to a thread.

We'll definitely tweak the navigation further, removing buttons that aren't needed and putting some in that are more important.

I like the white but is too bright.

Where is the zoom to increase text size on the new forum layout?

I feel like I'm losing my mind, but where is the box to post a new thread? I'm sure it's right in front of my face, but for the life of me I can't find it.

My top and bottom used to be orange. Anyway to change it back?

I think it is great. No issues so far.

I did it within Firefox settings.

 

[gmc2003]

I'm still getting used to the new layout, but I like the "Filters" option on the what's new page.


Thanks for all you folks do.

The old bright old orange style was no longer supported and wasn't updated with the refresh.

While viewing a forum, you can use these two features. A global create button should be coming a home back soon

I use the site mostly for talking with some " friend " memebers and answering questions I get asked .
The icons for PM's and alerts are super small for me ( maybe a setting on my end ) , and they are so dim , they are hard to see . I had to go back to light mode just to see them .

By default, they would dim without active notifications. It's pretty clear when you have alerts so I've removed that dim. I also agree, having them a little larger is nicer. Working on that now as well.

For me... Read and unread color/contrast of the title is hard to diffientiate between the two in dark mode... A little better in white...

I've made a little adjustment here. Light mode was definitely easier to spot read/unread. Both dark and light use bolded titles for unread, but dark will use a slightly brighter color now for unread threads/forums. Should help.

Ah, thanks Norm. The old system had a button on the system where you could choose between 3 or 4 different type sizes.

First impressions, I like it.

Couple things if tweakable: brighter font on dark screen, larger font or user adjustable font would be great. Old guy vision is not so good.

When I try to add a user with @xxxx its doesnt autofill the name list like it used to? Is it me?

@Abigail4476 Thank you for all your work on our site!

@GatorAGR, I have light mode on right now - it's the orange button at the top right of my screen. I haven't looked at mobile, not sure if you're on a desktop or phone/other device.

The picture on the featured page for no trim plate ribs is different than the picture on the what's new page. Also, the featured page has more items listed then the featured items on the what's new page.

I am in the camp of liking the "old" carousel over the new featured items.

I'm able to do the tag with @ + username.

Thanks! I see that if I enter the list of forums, but not if I'm out on the main page. Anyway, I found it, but seems like it needs some tweaking.
