Go back to the old way.

Thank you for at least making an effort to make improvements to the site for us. Like everything there are those, who when you ask for an opinion, will go into a tirade because they either dislike change or have nothing better to do.

I'm not a fan as it makes things more difficult on an iPad or similar device and that's what I use 99% of the time. Prefer the larger "quick reply" box and the fixed non-scrolling threads on that device, but at least you gave the option to revert back.

Priorities IMHO:
  1. Speed
  2. Readability
  3. Multi-browser and multi-device compatibility
  4. Stability
  5. Lack of bugs
  6. Ease of creating/replying to threads
  7. Ease of finding new, interesting content
  8. Ease of finding specific content (searching)
  9. (about a dozen other things)
  10. Whizzy new features
  11. Bold new graphics

What have you people done? The site was perfectly OK before. I have tried to go back to the old format and it hasn't worked, not everyone out in the big wide world is a computer wis. When I go to Lasted Posts I am getting Japanese posts

Horrible. Can not get past the completely wrong size boxes in for sale. Once that's fixed I can evaluate it more. For sale forum worthless now

This just in from CNN:

The majority of respondents overwhelmingly approve of the recent changes!

Don't like the extra fonts. Auto loading new pages I could live with, although you would need some kind of cutoff point before related threads kick in. Having to type in page numbers for specific pages you want to view other than the first, last, next, or previous is no way to navigate a thread. The negatives far out weigh the positives. Old style works for me.

How much trouble would you get in if you edited Nolan's post? He suggests changing to Classic NextGen, which was not the default style for this forum.

I use an older laptop with a 15" screen. The resolution is 1366 x 768.
I have super fast cable internet, but the bigger threads take longer to load and the scrolling is jumpy.
And the jumpy scrolling is the biggest issue with the "related thread" feature.
I really don't like those WTF moments when scrolling jumps to an unexpected location.

I applaud your efforts to make the related thread feature optional, or how about configurable? - off, original, or auto load.

Since I may possibly have your attention, I would like to make a couple of suggestions.
1) Make the sticky threads into a twisty. I browse the 993 forum on a laptop and the stickies take up the entire screen, so any time I go to https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum-58/, I see nothing of interest until I scroll past the stickies.
2) Can you give us a way to skip from one thread to the next without requiring a return to https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum-58/ (main forum thread)? I'd like to be able to catch up on threads by clicking on a thread, be brought to the first post that I haven't read and then skip to the previous or next thread and be brought to the first post that I haven't read in that thread.

Thank you for making an effort to improve the site.

endless scroll is for facebook. I don't think it works well with this format.
The mobile site is like that, but I always have to hit request desktop site to make it usable.
