Upgrade 2018 member feedback

Are you sure both were the privacy policy? I consented to privacy policy & then legal policy as outlined in the upgrade thread. I have logged in & out on two different devices but only needed to do it once. So didn't have this issue.

I had to accept the privacy policy when I first logged in a couple of times before it would let me do anything else.

There are two pieces to read and accept - the privacy policy, and then the legal policy - and then you're taken to the home page. You might not have noticed that the document actually changed - I think we can take a look at making that clearer.

Is there any way to place the "Contact Us" further away from the RSS feed. I've hit the RSS button more than once already.

I'll make note of it. What device, please?

I -really- like what was done with the Trauma & Stressors sections, like how they were all fused into one.

I think it will help all of the threads in all of the sections get more attention, and it feels a lot more unifying. Really great idea that was implemented there.

There's a lot more that I really like about the upgrade, too. I just can't think of it right now lol.

So far, I like it.

The only thing I would do is increase the font size of the text in posts - it is smaller than it used to be. The typing field still has the same size text.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the smaller post font size is less gentle on the eyes than the old one. Dunno if there's a reason or not for the size decrease, so, for all I know there's a good reason and it wouldn't be easy to change.

What device and browser are you using? And if you use more than one, is it across the board for you?

I know it's just probably a bug but I had to accept the privacy policy when I first logged in a couple of times before it would let me do anything else. All good now though

Not a bug, that is part of the EU GDPR compliance. Both are quite clear. We can not fix user error.

Has not yet been done as part of the upgrade.

Yes, it is, by 1 pixel. The font size in messages is 16px, however, it is heavier weight than the prior version. The quote text is actually also 16px, but changes font to sans-serif to denote it slightly different, being quoted text and not as important within the field.

The problem with going larger or smaller, is mobile device usage. 17px looks massive and takes up too much screen space, 15px makes that text harder to read, too much text on screen.

I'm glad you said that - interesting...

So the text entry field and the post text are different sizes for me, both on my laptop and on my phone. But, the difference is less on my phone.

Right now, and when I made that last post, I was using my laptop, a Lenovo U530
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8+

I'm not zoomed out or in, in my browser. It's at 100%. Using firefox browser. Not sure if that matters.

 

[Sweetleaf]

I hope you don't mind if I post a screenshot of the difference?

It does appear to be more than one pixel different but maybe I'm wrong?

It does feel like a very noticeable difference for me.

I mean, I'm not complaining. Maybe it's just my device, or just me or something lol.

@Sweetleaf - you're noticing the difference that happens across devices and bowsers, then. And this is a normal kind of issue - re-read this bit from anthony.

The problem with going larger or smaller, is mobile device usage. 17px looks massive and takes up too much screen space, 15px makes that text harder to read, too much text on screen.

My advice would be to play around with your browsers and your default settings, to get a result you feel good about.
