Dear valued Members,

As you may have noticed, we have applied a few style changes:

  • We have switched to a new style by the same developer, which we deem more user-friendly and easier to use on mobile devices.
  • We have again made the light style the default one.


JREF Bolt Light:



JREF Bolt Dark:



Style chooser:



The old style (JREF Nova II) will remain functional and be phased out soon.

If you have any constructive suggestions or ideas, please post them here.
 
We have done away with the obsolete Nova II styles. As of today, you can choose between Bolt Light and Dark.
 
So now my 2000 square avatars are chopped and cropped!
 
I can't find the New Posts sub menu. Is it still there somewhere?
 
? Is it in the arrow beside "Forum"? It's taking this "old dog" quite a while to learn the new tricks of this update , LOL.
 
For some reason the Forum heading no longer tells me if there are new posts but all the other sections do. Is there some setting that governs this?

 
Because there were no new posts. This week has been eerily quiet. I wonder why.
 
You do have a chance to sell a front end loader I see "approvals". I thought about telling them if they bought the IKEA model with 7 million parts , we could give then a good deal.
 
I have made the best of the lull and optimised the page.

Pagespeed Mobile:






Pagespeed Desktop:





I also increased the visibility and contrast of several elements. Removing Google fonts and using system fonts (Arial) improved speed significantly.

No, that's not why. For example there are two posts I haven't read yet and it's not showing anything. Or does it only show for new threads? Even so I'm pretty sure it hasn't shown those either.

The add-on author promised an update. Let's see if it will solve these issues.
 
I have a favour: could anyone on an Android device post a screenshot of the website and forum indexes? I appreciate your help!
