There's now a 'Title:' box on the 'Reply to Thread' screen. The 'Title:' area on PMs is a small box now like the 'Reply to Thread' box, whereas it used to be a long rectangle like when you start a thread.

I sure hope that won't be permanent. It is really annoying, and I can't make it go away. It blocks part of the screen - a very large part of the box I'm typing this in, in fact.
I don't see any real advantage to it- if I want to go back to the top I can scroll up just as easily as I can scroll down.
It annoying, obtrusive, and unnecessary. Can it be eliminated?

Not that anyone cares but I cannot stand having a smart phone and being forced to view a page as a mobile page. What's the point of having a fully capable phone if places won't let you use it?

With IOS tapping the top of the screen takes you to the top. Pretty sure android also has that feature built in. Try touching the top of the screen and if it doesn't go up tap it again. Petty much where the address bar is.

I have no problem getting to the top or the bottom.
I want that useless annoying black blob to be GONE.

Overall the responsive design is nice. Mobile viewing is definitely enhanced.
Size of user information vs. post body is off when phone is rotated horizontally. Probably an artifact of bootstrap - my location isn't wrapping, but pushing the width of the column out. Also, the right justified usernames in vertical mobile view is kind of strange.

This times 100. It used to be that I could change the user agent and have the browser seen as a desktop. Now most sites ignore the settings and force mobile view on you even if the browser requests desktop mode. Pisses me off.
Unlike a few other responders, I actually like the arrow though.

Pretty sure my phone has a mole. Not sure what that arrow you speak of is.

PM Issue.
I just sent a PM to a user and I noticed that on the screen, where you type the title for you PM, it is only about 3 characters wide. It allowed me to type my entire title, it just scrolled off that area.
As a matter of fact, that window is so small I didn't see it until I tried to send the PM and it said I needed to add a title.

Where's the beef?
The images in your signature, Sling, appear HUGE on my screen. I don't think that's the way you wanted it.
I think something changed, and I don't think it was my Firefox.

Here it is, circled neatly in red. It's covering up the word "it" at the end of the line.
It doesn't look so bad in this desktop image, although it is annoying, distracting, and utterly useless.
But it DOMINATES the image on my phone, and blocks a large area of the "reply to thread" box. That caused me to make several typos yesterday, and when I tried to move the reply box from underneath the Unmoving Floating Blob, I was twice involuntarily jumped to the page top.
That thing is terrible on my phone, and offers no advantage that I can see.
Why can it not be eliminated?

On my Macbook (chrome) I've noticed the page frame has gotten unnecessarily wider. The box where you type responses in is larger too.
Don't know about from on the phone browser since I still use the older Tapatalk. Which is perfect.

If it ain't broke. Go ahead and fix it.
I learned that at another place and now from here.
Food for thought.
I use to go to a motorcycle forum a few times a day. It was a really active forum and a good place. Kinda like here. It was sold to a company who had good intentions. They did some minor changes kind of like this site is doing and made it pretty painful for using. I chit you not it was like cold turkey for half the members. Everyone moved to another forum that was a mirror of what the old one was before minor tweaks were made...
Right now my mobile experience sucks. Can't see post details can't even see who the last reply was. It's really dumbed down and the mole tops it off. Spacing is jacked up making for lots of wasted space.

and it's been a grand total of 48 hours that we've been working in this. If your experience in that limited time is enough to convince you to move on, then your connection to this community isn't that strong to begin with.
