How about a dark theme?

I too preferred the site in dark.
If you are viewing with firefox I just tried the "Dark Mode" add on.
you can toggle it on and off.

looks better now!

So about the two-step verification...the direct link directs me to the dented helmet website were I am once again asked to log in,which I tried but apparently failed to do.
Do I understand this correctly: Am I required to create an account for the dented helmet website as well,just for a one time only two-step verification for this website?
Thank you for clarifying,and congratulations on the upgrade for this website.

Should there be a button at top of thread for first unread?

That is VERY odd. Let me see what is going on.

Yup. Looking into that right now.

Also I noticed that the junkyard post and a little messed up.

Does a premium membership remove the adds? Top one, middle. Etc

Premium membership removes all of the ads.

 

[Art Andrews]

Please check it now. Should be good.

Yes, it’s on my mobile. Only noticed it on this page but I’ll look around.

Not sure if it matters but I’m on an iPhone 8.

Also encountered it on the Star Wars sub forum.

Great job Art. Soo much faster than the old site. Must have been a ton of work. Just checked some of my own threads for any quirks and found some garbling. See this post for what I mean. No biggy as I can probably re edit and clean things up, but highlighting it just in case.

 

[Art Andrews]

Loving the new layout! However, would it be possible to add links to the sub forums in place of where the "Mark Forums Read/ Search Forums etc.." area is? I really don't use any of those features and links to the sub forums themselves might be better suited in this area.

At this time we won't be bringing back the top-bar navigation.

This move has, quite literally, been YEARS in the making. It was a combined effort of many people (largely, Montagar ) and more than a few third-part vendors.

We will have a process for cleaning up a lot of old content like what you pointed out. You are welcome to clear it yourself if you would like, but we will get to it eventually (there is a long long list of things to clean up that will literally take months).

What is the purpose of the cover page at therpf.com? It's just a giant link.

In order to facilitate the move (for all of our sites), the forums were moved from the root to /forums (the proper location for them). This leaves the root available for a proper welcome page. There is just a placeholder there now (the linked image) but there will be more in the future. I would recommend updating your bookmarks to:

https://www.therpf.com/forums/

No worries, I'm sure I'll get used to the new way of browsing quickly enough. Thanks for all your work!! It really does look great!

Thanks! This new version is great but super ad heavy for.mobile browsing. On this one page I have 4 ads.. Little excessive no?


Can I also suggest if possible adding a 'return to top' option. Many boards have a floating one on the side

Thanks.
Also, my Alerts drop-list keeps getting longer. Is there a way to clear it out once it's been viewed?

There is an issue with your membership. Please bear with us. We have one more testing aspect to work through tonight but I will address it with you tomorrow morning and get that cleared up.
