Not sure if it's just me and my phone being more retarded than usual. Or did the forums make a change?

The posts in threads are all disproportionate. The avatars are massive. There is no break between time and the post content. The content also seems to have changed size.

It looks spastic and it hard to follow.
I'm a mobile phone user.

Edit: I have just seen the pinned/floating update.
 
What floating message? I use sherdog on laptop, threads are so hard to follow, so little data fit on screen. Not sure how to fix it.
 
Tech is steady working on the site and hopefully we will be back to normal in just a few days.
 
After they fix it, are they going to fix the rest also, like removing the advertisements? Because it's been unbearable before already.
 
Hi I was just reporting that with the recent update there is odd formatting on mobile currently.

Here is an example image

Hopefully this can be fixed because unfortunately this format is not very convenient at least compared to the previous one.


Thanks and have a great day 🤘🏻

We have a food and nutrition site.

Every change we make whether just to cosmetic look and feel or to underlying billing or other issues, is done in what we call our 'sand box'.

It is a created mirror site with all the changes that only those who want to go in and see and test can access but the public cannot. We also challenge people to try and break it.

Sherdog really needs to consider that very common programming approach. I cannot believe anyone took the time to look at this site and how it can be extremely difficult now to see where one post begins and the next ends, and what is signature versus post content.

In a sandbox environment that would have been caught.

The best high tech project manager I've ever worked with, taught me this from the jump. It was like the first thing I ever saw him instruct someone on our team to do on a new project. Create a SANDBOX GOLD as your starting point. Never modify SANDBOX GOLD. Instead, create copies of it and use them as SANDBOX as needed. Ask people (usually us engineers and hand-picked end-users) to test and actually try to break and find bugs in SANDBOX. Fix said issues. Repeat until a good SANDBOX is created, and then release that SANDBOX as live to the end-users. Congrats, you've made everybody's lives easier, including your own!
 
Same with me. Posting is a 10 second process now, instead of 1 second; sometimes I have to erase or refresh multiple times before the editing box contents goes away. Sometimes, manually erasing doesn't work and refreshing fixes it. Sometimes refreshing doesn't work and manually erasing gets rid of the contents of the editing box.

EDIT: FOR ME, THE REPLY EDITING BOX BUG HAS GONE AWAY

Yea, and all posts seem to be in quotes forever reason... or at least it looks that way.

No space from the Signature either. Sometimes I just have to guess where the post ends
 
Scrap Xenforo and lets go back in time to the old format.

Hell, the original format where we had to type BB codes is also better than this hot mess
 
On the off chance that you guys think this has been fixed, I am here to tell you it definitely has not.

Is the site permanently going to look like this mess?

Well since the : " Work is still on-going to rebuild the site styling and features. Please report any issues you may experience so we can look into it." - is still on top of the page I think the work is ongoing.

I dont know if Xenoforo has some of the blame.
Their update was what fucked it up as I understand it.
At least thats how I read the first "Top message".
