    Much better, but now the forum scrolls horizontally on mobile instead of just wrapping. And everything is much less compact. :/
    Hmm that's peculiar. Just for due diligence, are you sure you're not accidentally zoomed in on your device?
    This is what I’m seeing on my iPhone 6s, and I have to scroll horizontally to see the rest:

    Same on Android...

    Also is there a quick way to see notifications?  Before you'd see it pop up on the bottom of your screen if you scrolled, now I have to go through a few different screens/clicks just to see notifications...

    Also need a link to sub forums below the last post,  it's a pain scrolling to the top of the page to return to general

    Sometimes clicking a thread with new replies bring me to the bottom of the page, instead of the last new reply that I read. It wasn't like this previously. I'm on android if this helps.

    Was this mobile view designed and tested using tablets or horizontal mode exclusively? It really doesn’t work for small vertical devices.

    You really think they tested this?

    What happened to the option for dark mode?

    Since the change to the mobile site took effect, it's had a knock on effect on how the site looks on my work pc, think it's something to do with our webfilter blocking https://thetomodomo.cloud.

    I've noticed that on PC/Chrome, that on subforums, you can't see all the columns unless you have the browser maximized.  The right hand border just kinda fades to white.  There's no scroll bar on the bottom either.  For example, when I have the browser snapped to half my monitor, I can't see "most recent".

    I'm not sure how, but I switched my pc onto the mifi we have and now it's working again, so maybe it was a certificate issue instead. It seems to have stuck since switching back to our network.

    Reading new replies from notification doesn't bring me to the new replies. It brought me to the bottom of the page instead. Is this intended or unintended?

    The slow loading banner image causing the topics to shift down always catches me out and often has me press 'New Discussion' instead of the topic I want. Also, read topics have their page numbers overlapped by the Cog and Star symbols which can cause problems pressing what you actually want.

    In the mobile interface, it shows that I have notifications of mentions on my profile, but there is no way to actually see the messages.
