What's up with the new look, Brooklynian.com?

seriously? I didn't miss these.

One little, extremely low priority bug note:
(from long ago, not new)

"Submit" button in various places (quoted comment reply form, new or reply private message edit/post form, etc.) is broken for various esoteric browsers such as that (painful crappy hellish IE Micro) I am using now to post this.

I have a very nice (and beers-inviting) response ready for a friendly pm from alaf, and attempts to click the submit (or even preview) button somehow just bump me back into the text area, stuck in some maddening, inscapable cycle straight out of Dante or Sartre.

Thank goodeness the abbreviated form at the bottom works, must employ some other implementation of accessing the post method.

This bug ranks extremely low I know, and my purpose of posting here is two-fold:

1) To somehow acknowlege and thank Alaf for her nice PM (hee) and not leave someone's thoughtful, nice message hangin'

and

2) To volunteer myself to the task of examining and finding a fix for this mobile browser post functionality disconnect that I'd like to see fixed (in the ol' open source spirit of "want it? do it!" )

So thanks alaf (..and is anyone up for bbbbeersk this eve/tonight? WANT. ), and I'll post 'me findings re: potential options for wider browser-friendly implementation of post button functionality.

Thanks again for all who make my world here go 'round.

yes, i am having that problem, too, and also running on a mac laptop.

okee-dokee... not sure what happened today, but once i click on one of the specific boards, i see nothing but ads on one side & the top, and a blank screen with no topics in the middle. i only got to this topic by clicking on the top of the home page, not by being in one of the boards! UGH

i liking less and less and less.

When I click on the link for the boards, I get the topics header sort of jumbled/condensed. Below is blank. The topics list appears to be beneath the Google ads on the right - I can see just the left side of the list, but they aren't accessible, just brings up the Google ad.

rut roh....what's this?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/brooklyn/public_html/forums/index.php on line 475

But we do appreciate all of your hard work. Really!

Uh-oh -- the list o' boards has migrated back down to underneath the advertising column on the main page again.

yowza...today's the first day I've seen the changes on the PS board, and it's very hard to read. It's crazy busy, and the font seems weird.

did we just lose the go to next/previous thread function (when reading a particular thread) or can i just not find it?

if it's gone, would you think about putting it back? saves a lot of clicking for those of us who read all or most topics.

also, i know i sound like a broken record, but the width is hardcore getting me down. it really makes the page look bad on a smaller screen, and i miss seeing the whole flickr badge.

It's just way to busy. :-(
I don't need to see the new posts on the left hand side once I'm in a neighborhood board. The front page is good enough for that.

Thanks for that link to the old view. The new blog style for theads came as a bit of a shock.

I notice that in the new layout, the color for visited links is barely distinguishable from the color of regular text. I suggest making them a contrasting color so it's easier to view links that are coded into the post.

...Yeah, I'm now not quite so sure I like the newer look. Also, one view didn't have the "log in" option visible...
