    Everything just got all kinda wonky here on my end, sometime between 10:00 last night and right now.

    Lookin' different...:tinfoil2:

    Yeah, some text formatting and spacing things in there.

    Remember that you're seeing this in real time as people are working on it, as opposed to us taking the whole thing down and fixing it then reopening it.

    I noticed most of what was mentioned but knew Norton or someone would be on top of this.

    Quick thought, should their be a fundraiser soon to be prepared for any high traffic problems during the voting season/ what's going on /search MDS for news times? I'm not sure how that works but do you purchase extra bandwidth ??? No clue here and I have a degree in comp programming. lol

    Thank goodness! As much as people wig out when colors change the site being down entirely may just light off another civil war!

    I like the new look. Only issue I see right now is the width of the lastpost column could be a little bigger but I'm sure that is on the list of things to deal with.

    once again please be patient as the site is brought up to date with the new mobile theme. It must have one. The other option was updating to VB4 and trust nobody would have liked that, it would have brought too many changes. We did test it and pitched the idea. Everyone likest he site as is so we stayed. Google slammed sites without a mobile design once last April or so. Luckily it seems MDS was not penalized, Google it though, many sites were hit hard big time. The homepage changes were not on purpose, this inadvertently happens when you update templates and such. So we can change that back later. For example now working on the gallery so it responds to mobile happens and such. Once it's all done, we can field responses as to what has changed or not. :)

    Bah! Phones are fine for picture-heavy sites, but they absolutely suck for sites that are mostly text no matter what the site runs. ;)

    Edit: Oh, and phuck google! :D

    Windows phone here, and as an FYI, formatting is all over the place...

    Lists only occupy a third to half of the screen, and the jump for "go to last post" is missing

    Also noticed that the right portion of some attached pictures are lost.

    Just tried it on my Android phone using Chrome (not taptalk) and it works great:thumbsup: Easier to log in and read. I used to have to enlarge a page to click on a link or to the next page. Right now very easy to use

    I've noticed the spacing between certain elements has increased on the website, but otherwise everything else seems the same.

    MD shooters site is ignoring my android tablet request to use the desktop site. Should be an easy fix. Probably just a config setting.

    I'm using Firefox.
