Can you post a screenshot for me? You should see a list of the top 5 basketball wiretaps, a list of the top 5 wiretaps from one of the other sports randomly, and a square ad. Previously, this space was only basketball wiretaps and a square ad. We only added the middle column.

Do I need some kinda amount of posts to not get this message?

I've just removed that restriction.

Click on your username in the top right and you will see an option for My posts.

Thanks.

It just comes up with "Sorry but you are not permitted to use the search system."

Sorry, I didn't realize search wasn't enabled for everyone. Can you try again?

You know when you're reading a post? You have the squared off area on the left where the username is, posts count, avatar, etc. Then you have the area on the right where the actual post exists? The border that separates the two should be to the left more (so the area where the username is would be a tad smaller). So the post doesn't start so far off to the right...if that makes sense. It just looks way too 'off' for my tastes.

That is a good suggestion. I will tighten that up a little bit. There will still be some extra space so it collapses nicely on all screens, but I can make it a little less of a gap.

Search is enabled again. It's much more powerful in this version.

It's everyone. I haven't figured out how to add notifications for them in the new set up yet.

If you go to your inbox and click 'Mark all as read', does it go away?

Just tried it but still the same. I went through each page and there's no message marked as unread.

I did have a message that was deleted by the sender before I read it, but that notification has disappeared from my inbox since the upgrade, that could be it?

I've reset your private message count

You can view your own posts still. Click on your username in the top right to see a drop down list of options.

Mine says sor you are not permitted to use the search system.

Sorry, you should be able to now.

Thanks for the feedback. We have kept up to date with phpbb upgrades. This completely new version was just recently released and we were right on top of it.

There is a maximum width of 550px and maximum height of 90px allowed for signature images.

I'm not sure I understand this one. Where are you losing space on the mobile version? It's a lot more compact and has less ads.

Well I usually am on my note 4 so I have a lot of space. Instead of using the extra space the website expands to completely swallow the screen with the same amount of pixels as my S4. Its probably not an issue for normal phones and you guys probably have a tablet configuration too but on my 5.7 inch screen Note everything looks giant.

Hi, I'm using Opera browsers on Android and the new layout is still broken. The top Forum Index and drop-down menu to the various sports forums are all expanded and taking up a huge chunk of space at the top. I have to scroll all the way down maybe about 80% of the way before I can see the actual forum main page I'm visiting. Also I can't log in from my mobile at all, so I'm posting this on my laptop. Clearing the cookies for the Opera browser does not help, it just keep refreshing and bringing me back to the login page before. Now, it is asking me to enter the confirmation caption too. Hope you guys can take note and fix these problems soon. Thanks!

The basketball wiretap headlines were already in that same space. We cut the width in half and added a rotating wiretap box with the other sports.

Can you reduce the size of those? On the iPad in portrait mode when refreshing they stack vertically and I can't tell what page I'm on. I have to scroll down just to see the page I'm on (can only see news and the ad). In landscape it is slightly better but I still can't even see the "new topic" button.

What about now? I didn't realize I had to enable it in multiple places.

Here's 2 screenshots from phones with different screen sizes and resolutions. One is a 5 inch 1080p screen and the other is a 5.7 inch 2k screen.

Not an issue for a iPhone sized screen but large screen phones should be formatted closer to tablets than iPhones in terms of resolution.
