New theme... AGAIN?

[Monkeylegend]

Mine's back to normal now.................I think.

[bitchstewie]

Someone really signed that off?

[Alucidnation]

Looks ok to me.

And feels a bit snappier.

As I learnt last time. They don't give a fk. I'll just put some client-side rules in so it's usable again.

I've blocked the upper most area which cleans it up a bit. I'm guessing it's what they were going for. In case anyone else wants to...

Anyone else missing the "delete/ignore" button on the "My Stuff" view? It works if you click the blank space where it should be.

Judging by when the change had gone live (14:30) the half past might suggest the location of development team.

Blocked that and 'newnav' as it looks ridiculous on a 4k display.

Much cleaner.

And now I have a delete button.

Almost as if they're working on it live.

I bet they use this thread for their QC testing. Which reminds me of this story when Ryanair instead of spending millions on proper development team hired two students to build their first site back in the early naughties. They paid them 20k EUR if I remember correctly.

Well at least they have sorted the layout.

Last time they installed this banner my data usage increased by 25%. Not good when I have a capped allowance.

TBH I think it's the same "update" as last time tbh - all related to reintroducing that bloody dropdown menu banner at the top with links that no-one clicks on and that no-one uses anyway which buggered up the forums so well last time

Using PH yesterday, task manager showed barely 15-20% background cpu usage in internet explorer or Chrome when viewing PH forums.

Logged on today - currently i'm running at 85-90% background cpu usage in both IE & Chrome when viewing PH - of course this is probably due to both the stupid reintroduced banner at the top in addition to the pointless flash based advertising that PH continue to serve.

FFS PH, the "improvements" didn't work last time and it's clearly not working that well now either

Edit - managed to activate an extension in Chrome that has now not only successfully blocked all the annoying adverts being served, but also got rid of the menu at the top too - down to 15-20% background usage again.

I stopped visiting for a long time after the last update, I don't like the new drop down banner thing and I can't understand why I need to see two of the same advert, one above the blue line and one below.

ITs all looking a bit crap here really.

Bring back the Classic skin..

I wish they'd just fix the functionality they broke last time before introducing new stuff. I haven't been able to view 'my bookmarks' on the mobile site for about 12 months now.

[Alucidnation]

Unless something has just happened I have just logged in with safari on my iPad and it seems like it used to be.

On a PC here with a mouse. Use the wheel to scroll down the page, and a load of bd menus drop down as the mouse pointer goes past the main menu row

fking crap doesn't begin to describe it

[eharding]

Have they hired Yipper as a Web Developer?

Could explain why he's been preoccupied of late....

...and also the resulting development.

Sorry guy and girls. We did a rollout that has some bugs in it, which we are ironing out.

Please accept our sincerest apologies, we care deeply about the impact on our users and will take steps to analyse this incident so it does not re-occur in the future. We will also consider doing these out of hours in the future.




















no I don't work for them, but seeing as they don't have any customer service management, thought I would make some of you feel appreciated instead

Deserved way more recognition IMO

I use Chrome.

How do I do this please?

Using uBlock Origin (any content blocker will work, but this one is the best imo) you can right click on any element on any page and block it from being shown.

Great for unnecessary headers, sidebars, etc.

[LordGrover]

Appears to be okay now.
'New' header with links to News, Ads, Events, etc. is in place and old one has gone.
Inelegant, but makes sense and I'll use it. It was a niggle to have to click PistonHeads to get to homepage to navigate to other sections, so overall an improvement but very poorly managed.
