Ah thank you. I liked it where it was earlier though, easily visible.

Boy the forum sure feels cramped, cropped, etc on my phone. I still say claustrophobic. Also, the posts are not clearly separated. It needs more defined border between posts

Anyway, will we be able to see the authors of threads on the thread list? Right now all you have is the last post author under the title of the thread

Is there going to be a "go" option at the bottom of the page so you can leave the thread you're reading to go back to the forum you were looking at? It's really annoying to have to go back to the top of the page and then click on the forum to read it or use the jump to feature.

Getting much better guys as you work on it. Nice work so far.

-Would love the yellow highlight back for notifications

-Would love the actual text back for the "quote", "edit", "and1" etc buttons in the upper right of each individual post. Those buttons are so small and the icons hard to read on a mobile or tell the difference between the icons.

Wait, this is how it's going to stay? A lot of wasted space. I'm sure I'll get used to it but I don't see how this is an improvement.

Generally, I like it, though I'll miss the 1990s feel of the old board.

My suggestions:
Reduce negative space, as others have said, between posts in particular
Improve And1 counter visibility and readability
Reduce width of Last Post column

I'll see if Tapatalk support can be added back after Christmas.


While the mobile site isn't horrible, the app was very clean, easy, and quick. I know I used the app quite a bit, especially during games as to be able to post quickly while watching it. The mobile site doesn't allow that quick posting as it has everything on it.

So...is the app down? I do about 90% of my browsing via the app and didn't even realize the site was back up until now (thought the twitter account would post when it was back up).

the board looks absolutely awful, I knew she wouldn't get far because 500 dollars can't get you that

Add me to the tapatalk list. I pretty much solely use that for all my forums. It has been great up until this point.

One Thumb Down.

Just not as simple to use anymore. Icons at the top of a post are not clear or coloured enough.

Totally agree. It's how I access the forums 100%. Really helps for game threads. I'm on my IPad now not realizing it was back up since the app(s) aren't working. Definitely need it back.

I kind of wish that post counts and and-1 totals would be listed to the right of the avatar on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5). I miss them.

Other than that everything else is looking good to me.

No tapatalk, I'll be leaving or using it far less.

The mobile site is very painful...

Ugh, I am shocked, but with a redesign, RealGM still can't tell from browser to browser, computer to computer, what the last thread you replied to was? Forums from 10yrs ago could do this.

A bit frustrating when everything has worked perfectly fine for 15 years and now after the upgrade I can't even access the site on the mobile app. Kinda like ruining a good thing....

So, the quotes in posts show up in white boxes when on my phone. But desk top, it isn't. It blends in way too much.
