Busy night for you guys. Everything looks quite different on my iPhone. I’ll check out the desktop version later this morning.
A couple of issues. When navigating via the watches thread category (my normal way of browsing MR), I keep having to swipe left on the tool bar to see this option on my iPhone. Is there a way to change the order?
Also it used to just show watched threads with new posts. Now it’s showing watched threads in bold (unread) and non bold (read). That’s going to make navigating that way very difficult as you watch more and more threads overtime.

What you can do is this:
Go to New Posts, and you can set your filter to only see unread and watched threads. And save that as default.
Where's the "Likes" button??
You mean your likes? They are called reactions now
Very busy night for MR staff; the system was still down and busily upgrading when I headed off to bed.
So, I am greeted by a whole new look - I had to log in - upon my return.
It seems that there is a new vocabulary in addition to a new look.
What used to be termed a "like" is now a "reaction"?
Hm. "Reaction" sounds more neutral than "like".
Is there a distinction still drawn between 'reaction' and 'response' - i.e. 'reply'?
I can see that I shall have total some time to actually get used to all of this.
I have noticed that the speed of loading a page or a post has improved immeasurably.
Very well done.
However, I'm at something of a loss to understand Dark Mode, its attraction, and how to set it up.

The updated website looks great! The speed and responsiveness also seem much improved, and hopefully, we have fewer problems with major slowdowns on the servers, too.
Regarding dark mode. Thank you! Thank you very much! This makes me so happy I want to cry!
Thank you to you and all the staff for the hard work on this.

I don't mind the arrows, and in fact, actually, use them often. If it's possible, could it be an option to turn off/on for those who don't like them?
Check one of the other threads where I quoted you about that.
Have just followed your exemplary instructions - would that all could instruct with such pellucid clarity - with success.
Thanks again; very much appreciated.
Yes, it’s still Xenforo and the change occurred yesterday. The previous version was no longer supported and the update brought a refreshed look, dark mode and new features.
thanks,
Is it possible to have the forums stacked up side by side like they used to be like this:

instead of a long vertical scroll:

I think it looked better organized. Just my opinion
