    Is this what you are talking about? It is a double arrow pointing down and it is blue now.

      My usual method of consuming is to scroll through the latest activity scanning the subject line. Now that the author's name comes before the subject it's harder to scan them quickly. Not a big deal but I like the old arrangement better.

        1. With the old format I would use the "New post" or something to that effect button and it would bring up all new items in every category.

        I'm now using the "New Topics" link, which seems to be doing the same thing as I was using before. But- luckily for me is new post and topics, not just "New Topics" as it's titled.


        2. When using my phone, having the author of a thread's name listed next to the topic I find I'm fat fingering the authors name instead of the thread title I'm trying to select and am having to back out and try it again. It would be handy if there was a smidge more separation between the two.

        3. I linked a news story on a recent post and noticed the link isn't highlighted as something to click on (on my pc anyway).
        Usually, a link is a different color/ font or bolded etc. to designate there's a hidden pathway lurking inside just a double click away.

          Looking better and better. Only think I've notice is what about the store link? I know this can come later.

          What about location like before. Otherwise sticky in classified to make sure to add location.

            1. It appears the new topics gets the New post job done.

            2. I've wondered about that too. We are still working through how Tapatalk, the Mobile App for Vbulletin and the mobile friendly version for browsers are going to be leveraged. I'll look into what modifying the Thread Title and Username spacing looks like. No promises.

            3. I'm looking into number 3. I changed some setting somewhere that killed the "link look" on such things. This should not be a difficult fix.

                One of the things I liked about the old version, was the "Forums" drop-down list, at the top of the page. It allowed you to move from one forum directly to another. Now, the "Forums" button does not have the drop-down list, and you have to load the "Forums" page, before you can navigate to a different forum.

                My work-around is that I have changed my TBH Bookmark to load the "Forums" page first, instead of going to ATC, by default. By loading the "Forums" page first, I can right click on each of the Forums I want to visit, then open them in a new tab. That way, I can avoid loading the "Forum" page, before navigating to a different forum.

                Hope that helps somebody.

                        For me it is lightning fast and faster than the other software when its right, since Casey hit the turbo last night. There are times of clunkiness and down time, but I'm going to assume Casey and crew are working on something at the time.

                          I am having problems logging in on my phone. Seems I have to log in twice to get in. Also it has been freezing up a couple of times. Not sure it is as fast as Tapacrap but working none the less.

                            I can't figure out how to close my classified ads that have sold. I looked over the page but couldn't find it. I know the old site was listed under thread tools

                              I have this same problem but with only one of my phones. I did figure out if I set my phone to the desktop option, it would let me log on.
