So, and as an interim measure, I have enabled the standard Xenforo style for our GOLD and SILVER members. You can select this by selecting “Xenforo Standard Style” from the Style Choose at the bottom of the page. See image below.
AFF Supporters can remove this and all advertisements
Noting that Wiki's aren't working and you're frantically trying to get them running, in the interim is it possible to copy previous entries from the September and maybe even October lounge meet threads so people can arrange to meet in a lounge?
It is so un-user friendly. Sorry I hate it. Everything soooo spread out! So little fits on one page. Not possible to scan and skim over threads easily. Feels like it is for a pre-schooler.
Request: on board view the page numbers only show for a topic when you mouse over. If they could be shown without mouse over that'd be preferred by me. Maybe others?
Thanks for tip but I don't have that option. Also notice white space ratio.At this stage unfortunately not, but we do have a developer working on the issue and we expect it to be resolved soon, much sooner than October!
If you are using a full screen window on a wide screen, my tip is to scroll to the very bottom of the page (only have to do this once) and find a small button with two arrows facing away from each other in the bottom left corner. Clicking this will "Toggle Width" to expand the page elements to the screen width (if using on a wide screen display).

See my post at New AFF WebsiteWhat a mess this upgrade is, why was it not fully tested before going live?
and what is it with all this super small font size with faint type and forum headings? (my magnifying glass has come in handy)
I mean really, these fixes are easy to implement.

Re my comments regarding scanning over pages for info a great example is the whirlpool boards. If you look at their Travel page Air Travel - Travel - Whirlpool Forums it is so easy to skim down to see what topic looks relevant, recent, popular etc so much information in one go. No avatars or signatures which is fine for me, and easy to read layout. Mostly though you can scan probably 20 topics, or threads whereas on the new AFF site can see 3 or 4 at a time before scrolling and scrolling...
I've learnt so much on the AFF forum, I really hope the layout can be improved
Yes, it was tested by the developers; then handed to admin and the Moderation team for us to test. We were able to advise some more issues that were fixed before going live. Some faults will never be known until they are broken. Ad naseum testing would mean that nobody will deliver a timely product.
where you could email a link to a post eg at the top of a trip report I could click the option to send a link of it to a friend that is not on the forum
