I don't know if it matters, the ipad is a 3, the iphone is a 5c

Let me jump in here a second, . . . just wanted to say YES, . . . I like the new format.

Much faster, . . . "looks" cleaner, . . . 

May God bless,

Dwight

Johanna, is there a chance to have a toggle option for the sidebar (status updates, recent topics...)?

Or if you cant toggle it, ditch it! It is just a repeat of stuff that is elsewhere and takes up 40% of the screen with dead space once you scroll past the birthdays.

I love it! It's much cleaner, and I'm glad you guys can start getting some ad revenue. If you had ads before I had'nt noticed. Are the attached pictures on previos posts comming back?

[Johanna]

Pics are coming back slowly. I removed the sidebar on the topic pages. Better?

I like much better without the sidebar.  It's not too bad if you're on a PC, but eats a huge amount of screen space on a tablet.  

Thanks again!

Much, thank you. You have my sympathies BTW, I've been where you are too many times and it's no fun. Good luck.

Yes, better without the sidebar ( although if it had more content ..down to the scroll limit..like maybe ads? it would not be so much of a "white space "that  is wasted ) ..even on a desktop..( the "breakpoint" in the CSS must be in a weird place )..now is elegant as a swan.

Given the "plate spinning act whilst on a trapeze" you have been doing..or "changing the transmission whilst the vehicle is still under power and rolling"

( pick a simili that you can identify with )..but to those who don't run dynamic websites, the leather lady ( bless her for making this place exist ) has been doing some complex stuff here ( big site, big database, and "live" user input ) and doing it very well, with only minimum shut down time..it aint easy..

Johanna..

You should award yourself a  Saint-Nicholas-de-Bourgueil and some Leonidas  ( it is the season of chocolate ..and real wine and real chocolate go well together ) while the old images populate..enjoy ( what would have been a holiday ) your work ( and that of others behind the scenes ) is very much appreciated..

Merci Bien

Mikesc, after the last few days your kind words are very appreciated. Yes, it's like trying to fix a car while rolling. Good analogy.

What do you folks think of the color scheme? Is everything easy to see?

Thanks everybody!
