A lot of people are complaining about the skin being the wrong colour, hard to read/hide at work. How about giving people the choice to select and store their own colour profiles?

It shouldn't require a huge amount of coding and could solve a lot of different complaints in one hit.

4) put some advert sized placeholders on the page
( so it doesnt draw it once then go oops forgot about the ads and draw it again with the ads)
5)......

It's simple to implement and would solve a great many complaints, I didn't want it to get lost in all the unconstructive moaning smile

1) kill it, with fire
2) put classic skin back on
3) problem fixed

Why are you messing about forcing a worse, untested, ugly, clonky mobile only skin into use?

Perhaps listen to your users?

Fix the problems before taking it live. And it was constructive. Put the old skin back on until this sorry mess is fixed

If you're using Chrome, then bring up the Chrome menu and select 'Request desktop site'.

Grey out things which have been read (or is there a setting for this I haven't found?). The 'my preferences' section still manages to do this for some reason.

Thanks

Suggestion for GTI in mobile view - can we have an icon to hide/restore the bottom buttons. That'd let us see another couple of threads/posts at a time.
