Noticing much faster page load and refresh times.

I noticed that, too.

No issues on chrome on iOS.

I'm using Chrome on a Windoze Operating System laptop and find that the pages are loading a lot faster! I have no issues with the site update.

Everything seems to be working fine on both of my Kindle Fires. Have not checked on my phone or computer yet.

Can the smilies button be put on the bar rather than under "More options"?

I've just always used the ones on my phone.

I've never browsed the forums on my phone! ?

The only internet access I've got.

Btw, in addition to this being non-voluntary, and PipesMagazine.com having nothing to do with the changes - we can't take credit for what you like, and we can't blamed for what you don't - it's not just press a button and viola!

Twelve hours of work and testing had to go into this, where I am paying an hourly rate to a developer.

That's because Xenforo was recommended as the best forum package, and it is in many ways. However, when tied in with WordPress, it can be a complete fiasco. That's why we have an offline testing site for the updates. We update, and ten things break, and then we have to figure out how to fix them one by one. It's definitely not fun.

Once we finally get the last thing fixed, we go live, and find out what everyone likes, and doesn't like, and then have to weigh what we should spend even more time on.

Might as well throw in my 1/50 of a dollar.

1. I prefer to think of these changes as "growing pains" as opposed to "out with the old and in with the new".

2. It's working fine both in Firefox on my Win10 desktop and in DuckDuckGo on my Android phone.

3. It's loading much faster in both environments.

Hope that's helpful.

Has something changed overnight? The overall appearance is showing up differently for me and the reply box setup is totally different.

I do now need a much better add. Blocker.

Me too!
But I still use a cell.phone and do not use a Smart or whatever phone.
p.s. just a laptop and a desktop.

^^ HA HA! I was trying to put in a smiley face and that came up!!!................
Weird!...........

 

[jaytex1969]

I concur, much greater loading speeds.

This site is one of the few I give a pass on the ad blocks, for the sake of pitching in, but the moving images blow.

Also, my erections are lasting more than four hours. Is Zenforo responsible? ?

What smiley were you trying to use? The psychotic, lying, pencil neck bastard smiley?

Internet service providers don't extend to where I live. Even if they did, I really wouldn't have much use for a typical computer.

That's obnoxious. First of all, those ads pay for the running of this site, and secondly, all of the ads are relevant to what this site is about. It's not like you're seeing ads for Ashley HomeStore.

Obnoxious, yes that’s the right word for this flashing ad. This hurts my eye.
And, before you coming back with that sponsor story: you may ban me for life.
