Looks good on mobile. Responsive. A few weeks ago, there was an issue with PM'ing on my android. It could have been the phone, but text was inserted and words were deleted. Hard to explain. That looks to be resolved. It looks cleaner now there, than a few days ago.

The main website interface (non-mobile) looks better too. I am not sure if it's all better than before. It's good though. The ability to expand or minimize the sidebar is nice.
I did like the old old style which was black... a couple months ago, if being completely honest. I grew into the last one though. I'm sure I wouldn't notice too much of a difference after using this a bit more.

We all have personal preferences, regardless it's miles ahead from all those other forums for the health issues discussed here especially.

This may be really nitpicky and isn't on most forums, and I'm super disorganized so that's why such features speak to me.
If it's too much, I totally understand of course.

1. Is there anyway to add search functionality to discussions or pm's? So someone could search through a longer discussion by keywords.

2. Is there like a way to print besides like copying/pasting to a word processor? I mean besides normal printing also.
-Or maybe you could tell me about some weblog software? I may use something like that to make a blog in the future and also for organization.
-Is Squarespace good?
-there's always google keep and agenda/note-taking software.

I think back at RPF there was an option next to the "watch thread" button, where you could print the whole thread if thats what you wanted to do.
I guess its available on this forum template as well, might just need to be activated?

No there isn't, I have been looking for that as well. I need a search function for my PM's. I am going to check a few more add-ons.

Yes, regarding the new interface, IDK man I did kind of like the old version a bit more (mainly the colors), been going back and forth about it. I just didn't like that "forum list" display on the old interface, it looked like crap.

True true. I did view the forum partially minimized (like with several other windows opened) and it did look good, even at like 1/6th the normal size. That's pretty good..
I like dark themes for most my things. I don't really remember it so well, but I think I know what you're talking about on the old "forum list". The current H/S looks way better than most places. Never had to look at a forum this long before lol. So it caught my attention, so that says something.
The PM search would be key. I remember saying or being told some key things and I know they're in some particular conversation, but who knows where...

Thanks for all your hard work @tfcjesse and @TubZy in working on the forum/coding/etc. I'd probably smash the computer if I had to do that. I remember fixing androids and spending the entire day at times, completely ignoring what I was supposed to actually do.

I believe the search through conversion function is missing in this forum software, but it's definitely a requested feature (rightfully so) and should be added in future updates. My guess is in a few months at most.

My personal POV is that, previous layout was better. Too much subsections, I feel unable to find right one.

The subsections really haven't changed, just the layout/theme did.
Can you provide any suggestions in terms of which subsections? I don't like subsections either however a few people wanted even more subsections which I didn't agree with.
