No font or font size changes available?
...
The indent button seems to be broken. It shows the indent when editing, but doesn't save. (At least on some text I cut and pasted in.) Old posts with indenting from before the upgrade do work correctly. I think it drops the newline, too.
Indented below:
Back to non-indent.
EDIT--yes, it's broken.
I see when clicking "Source" that it's coded \[left\], for left justify.

That seems to point a bug.

Thanks, I've reported this. After looking into it, I'm unable to post pictures that I've taken on my phone, but I can upload pictures that I've saved to my phone from the internet. Looks like it may be an image size issue.

It's just the difference between the 'regular' site and text based.
Dude, I got a DELL!

I have no idea how to get out of Mobile once I'm in it, unless I have to log out and come back later. The only reason I'm here like I should be is IE 11.

If you get stuck in mobile, you can click on the hamburger button at the top left, then click "view full site" to get back to a desktop version.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the main page, on the left hand side you will have the option to choose your forum style from a drop down list. The problem as per usual is that there is no option to select the older style if we preferred that one. I don't mean to be ungrateful, but I always believe in choice.

Just like with my mobile version, now when I open up the Notifications tab I cannot do anything but respond to PMs. If I've been quoted and want to check it, I click on New Post Quotes and am redirected to my Visitor Messages page. The recent quotes are not there, of course.
What's the dealio with that?
I don't mind the new look - already getting used to it - but I do mind reduced functionality...

Hamburger menus are counterintuitive. Put the basic controls on the page and encourage usage. Every time people redesign a site they seem to forget THE INSTRUCTIONS. Many things remained familiar but just throwing a bone and making us guess no longer works.
Not even a HELP button. I've used the internet since 1995, and while you have to update and improve, the actual users tend to be lost in the process. It goes beyond don;t mess my crap up every time I just learn how to use it.
So far my antenna DTV hasn't changed beyond what I can do with my 480p SDTV converter boxes, and that means over 70 channels including one station that's half TV channels and a few 'radio' channels. I have all the sports and whatever I'd like but for a few signals I could get with a taller mast.
Just post a sticky or something to guide us, especially since we aren't the only ones going through this, this version is the CORPORATE version across all IB sites, which are numerous.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Screenshots are from my iPhone 7.
I greatly prefer(red) the 'full site' interface on my phone over the mobile version, but the text size in the new version is making it pretty much unbearable.
Now here are some screenshots from other forums I read. Notice how the text is a much more manageable, readable size.

It's no big deal if Yahoo Mail doesn't like IE, that's my spam bucket and I never get any mail there anyway. But my Linux machine is down again and I'm Commander Adama.

Neutral:
I don't mind the new look. I get used to stuff like that.
Problems:
I gave a URL of an image, and it said bad URL. It's a good URL.
I tried to upload an image, and it said couldn't load the image but did not say why.
I can't find my list of quotes.
Mentions (tags) don't work. Where I have mentioned someone using an @-sign, that word is not displayed.
The infinite scroll feature is a very bad idea. Fine, I turned it off for myself, but it should be off for everyone by default. Let people enable it if they want it.

How do I do this? I tried switching to View Full Site and back to Bikeforums Mobile. The picture I posted is the Bikeforums Mobile view that I get on my iPad. I get the same view on my iPhone. Is there some other view settings available? Thanks.

I notice another lost feature: A list of discussion threads no longer displays the date of the start of the thread. It would be very useful to have this back.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

I grab the URL of the image on my google photos page. I make sure it is an address of a jpg, not an html page. I verify that I can display the image in my browser by pasting the address into an incognito tab. Then back on bikeforums, I click the icon for image. In the place where I am supposed to paste the URL, I paste the URL. It tells me the address is invalid.
Thanks!

Ok, I had a major computer crash a couple of days ago, so I'm running on the backup. Puppy/Chrome. I hadn't recently run BF on this machine.
The first thing I noticed, BF locked up Chrome and gave me timeout errors.
The only way BF was usable was to load Noscript Lite. MEMORY/RESOURCE HOG?
The next issue is that the the static no-scroll header takes up 1/3 of the screen. Some of the quick buttons are nice, but I know where to look for them. No need to not just scroll those off the screen.
Tried it (Puppy/Chrome/Noscript Lite), and got text only. A big step back. Also going back to normal, I had to use the "reset" button as I couldn't find the skin choice option again.
