Wait for it.....Another board overhaul

Just hit refresh. A pop up appeared welcoming me to the new board. The threads were even narrower than before with a lot of junk on the side and other stuff on the bottom. More junked up than before if that's even possible.

 

No page numbers. Click on 'show more discussions' instead.  I did that and it took me back to the regular board. Didn't have a chance to take screenshots.

 

What does that make, 3 major overhauls in 1.5 years.  I guess when the new one comes it will be the new new new normal until the next major overhaul in 3 to 6 months.

We didn't make any adjustments to the boards yesterday, @sandmansales. Which board did the pop-up welcome you to?

Spacing of the menu navigation was changed this week. There is wide spacing and navigation often wraps to a second line instead of staying on one line as it did before.

Hi @lovtaco0, no board updates were made that would affect the menu. This looks like it's browser related. Can you tell me your browser and platform?

 

Thanks!

mine is the same way too. Also, sometimes when I click on one of those links, the page that pops up shows me every category and how many posts each one has. What nonsense. All I was trying to do was go to a different board.

this is why I think doing too many overhauls is nothing but a problem.

I just found that I can double space after an @ tag and the space will show. Single spacing will not. This relates to the other post about the spacing issue.

Thanks for confirming the menu change.

 

When you click Buying & Selling from the navigation it takes you to a page showing you all of the discussion boards that fall under Buying & Selling - that's not an error. You can use the main menu drop-down navigation at the top if you want to go straight to another board.

But in my case, if I wanted to go to the buying & selling board and I clicked buying and selling link, the page that would pop up was a list of the categories and how many posts were made.

There is no Buying & Selling board. There is a Buying & Selling category that contains a Selling board and a Bidding & Buying board. The navigation menu links go to the correct pages.

oh, pardon me for calling it a board and not a category.
