Trying to launch a new version of the site today

I did it for you.

Thanks, is there a reason I’m not ever able to? I can get it to show that it’s changed while on my profile but once I leave there it goes back like it never saved

Not sure why you specifically have had issues. No one else has ever said anything about it and plenty of people have updated their avatars over the last few years.

Still a lack of hot chicks.

Congrats.

You went from minor league A ball site  to the Independent League......

Look solid and no hiccups for me.

Is there a way to make everything smaller on mobile? 

You should be able to control that with your browser, I can let you know how to do it once I figure it out myself. I will also refine the design as I use the site on mobile more often.

Any update on this? I’m using Chrome. Everything is still huge. Do I need to adjust settings through Chrome?

It looks like it can old be controlled on the device level, meaning any change applies to any app that uses the accessibility settings. I'll work on decreasing the font sizes in the next day or two. I just needed a break today from doing anything.

Is it mainly font sizes that you're not a fan of?

Also happy that after two days I've yet to get a single page load failure. I'm not sure how often that happened for anyone else, and I'm surprised no one had actually complained about it. It was the main reason I decided to do an update, but I'd been wanting to update the design for a long time anyway.

Yeah the site is way too big on mobile. 

My old eyes like it, but I understand the complaint. Give me a day or two and I’ll push an update.

Does the avatar have to come from the device hard drive?  That is the only choice I see when I click on the profile 

Yes, you have to upload an avatar. If it's something online you just need to save it to your computer first. Or, if you send me a link I can do it for you.

looks pretty clean.

TBH, font size seems huge on desktop (Chrome, Mac), too. But the site itself looks clean; strong work.

Some fonts are quite large (thread titles), but most are normal, just slightly larger than they used to be. I think the font size of posts are the same as they used to be.

And for those that view on mobile, I did push an update last night to tone down some font sizes and reduce avatar sizes. It should be much better for viewing now.

The font size isn’t huge for me, everything else is. The quote button, rep buttons etc.

Not sure the difficulties in rearranging the layout, but also seems bigger because the avatar and post numbers are above the post time vs all on one line (this section also seems huge). So actual posts take longer to scroll to/thru.

Things meant to be tapped on mobile need to be big enough to easily tap or google punishes you. That's why buttons are larger.

I believe the new layout is actually smaller (now with the reduced font sizes) on mobile compared to the old one. You were just used to the old one.

It’s probably the buttons throwing me off. But the post before explained that
