Welcome to EMTB Forums Refreshed

[Dirtnvert]

Nice upgrade RR. Way easier to read on mobile with this font. I didnt mind ads before as i thought i just ignored them but this is much nicer

 

[ilostmypassword]

Feels like 2001 all over again

 

[StuR]

Dark Mode added.

Thanks Rob , that's much better

 

[Zimmerframe]

Oooh .. the favicon is fixed too ! Thanks.

When you're in "what's new" .. there used to be a link button top right to "post thread" .. that doesn't seem to be there now, you have to go into "forums" to make a post. It's not the end of the world, not sure if this is a design choice or an oversight ?

There's probably nowhere to put it with the new layout.

On desktop, mobile or both?

Nice upgrade. Modern, crisp and fresh. The dark mode is much easier on the eye (for me).

When you click on forums, there is no gap or a darker line between regular posts and the pinned posts, it would just make it easier to skip down past the already read pinned.

Thanks. Will take a look at pinned posts. There’s a few tweaks to make still, thanks for feedback

I’ve noticed that the loading speed is improved. Feels much snappier. EMTB Forums SL

The "what's new" - post thread .. On mobile it's like it was, you have to head off into a menu to forums.

On desktop I thought there was a post thread button at the top right previously .... now I'm wondering if I'm dreaming, pretty sure I normally posted from there though.

Can't find an old capture ..

Oh my - things were quite different in 2018 ...

 

[Sherman]

Should be fine - is it not working?

Not working for me, "there's a problem with the forum (Code - 5).

 

[Zimmerframe]

Dark mode seems to have vanished ....

EDIT : Fixed - thanks Rob.

 

[Jamze]

Oooh .. the favicon is fixed too ! Thanks.

Is it? Still blank for me

 

[Zimmerframe]

Is it? Still blank for me

Seems to be doing weird things ... Seems to work if I have a tab open on the What's new page - but not other pages ..

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Favicon updated - should start appearing soon.

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Dark mode looks great now. Cheers Rob.

Post any bugs / feedback etc here.

Also, new article section, neatly integrated into the site. @knut7 already published a couple!

Review: 2023 Unno Boös Race (Unno Mith)

Having ridden mountainbikes since long before the emtbs, I thought I knew most brands. But Unno was new to me. So, are they like one of those new companies that make an ebike and care more about looks than performance? Boy was I wrong! The former...

The lack of contrast of the background and lack of separation between pinned and regular posts make the pages more difficult to use.

Can you explain that more ? It might be obvious to others, but not to me. For contrast, in light and dark:

For clarity between pinned and not pinned, before it seemed a bit clunky with the pinned threads separated by a border? Now you can see the pin to the right ? It just feels cleaner and less cluttered to me.

I'm referring to the lack of contrast between the posts and the background.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I've been making some changes that should help readability. Sticky threads are now easily defined in the forum lists, as well as alternating colours between threads listed in each forum.

I also updated the notification to red icon (from green).

Let me know anything else you notice that we can tweak!

Rob

Lost my other thread about the back buttons etc being lost in this new layout, so here is what I mean. The pic below has a bar at the top with the back and forward arrows in left corner and that whole bar with not secure- NSRA etc is missing on my iPad when I go on this forum. Every other page I go on on my iPad it’s there. Hope this explains it better.

Your other thread..

New forum layout.

I am not very computer friendly, but need this question answered. When on other forums and web pages I get a bar at the top which has a refresh and back arrow etc, I use an iPad. This forum used to have that but now it’s not there, is anyone else having this problem. The only way I can get back...

Can you share a screenshot of this forum on your iPad please?

Is it possible to change the font of the text? . I find this font difficult for the eyes to read.

The font is embedded. Personally I find it easy, but interested in others opinions?

Are you using desktop / mobile?

I found it unusual at first - probably just because it was different ?!

But after a couple of days adjusted and now prefer it on desktop and mobile. For me, it's easier and clearer to read.

I know bambam wondered if you could move to something purely pictorial, but then he's not very good with words.

There you go Rob, this is what I see, the bars not at the top.
