Welcome to the all-new WDWMAGIC

[Jahona]

It looks wonderful! I have to agree that it is pretty bright & hard on the eyes.

But I love how the website looks on my android, so much easier to use!

And it even seems faster on my desktop.

Click on 2015 on the bottom left and select dimmed. Should help with the brightness overall.

This isn't so much a comment on the new site, but more that I'm finally mentioning something that has bugged me for a while and has not changed on the new site.

I have wished for some time that the mobile site would include a "Go to first unread" button with the page number buttons at the top (and bottom) of each thread. This is present on the desktop version (old and new), but not on the mobile version (old or new).

If I have been keeping up with a thread this is not a problem because the site automatically sends me to the first unread post. But if I have not been to that thread for some longish space of time (finally some new aerial photos, resurrection thread bump, I decided to care about it again, whatever) then the site apparently assumes I need to start over and sends me to page 1. On the desktop site I just hit "Go to First Unread" and I am there. But I never see that button on my mobile device so it is a pain to find out what I have read and what I haven't.

In case it is a platform thing my mobile device is a 4th gen iPod touch running Safari under iOS 5.

Turn your phone sideways to see it.

This is a great update! My one complaint is that when I zoom in on stuff on my phone (for example, to see a picture in greater detail) the navigation bar gets bigger and blocks my view of part of what I'm trying to see.

 

[GrammieBee]

What a surprise. No complaints here.

I already did that, I still find it bright lol. I just have light sensitive eyes in general, I even keep my phone's brightness down to the max.

Loving the new look and feel. Job well done!

Aha! Thanks for that info.

I tried it and it does help a little. Maybe a few more styles with even less contrast might be helpful.

Thank you for keeping the forums Steve! Very nice.

Holy cow !! I was just on the forum at 6 this morning and now ...WOW is all I can say Steve!! Looks Great!!

Slight issue: with the mobile version of the forums on an iPhone 6 Plus, the "jump to top" button is appearing about an inch up from the bottom, rather than the very bottom.

That is by design, it is intended to sit roughly where your thumb is naturally positioned when holding the phone.

Miles ahead than even the official WDW site. I hope the jingle bells return during the holidays

Thanks for this. Didn't know where to find something less stark white. Though the "dimmed" is a bit clunky in color (it's just so beige) at least it's not so stark. I was one of the people who loved the light blue scheme before because white is hard on me due to light sensitivity issues and migraines.

My only other minor complaint is I really hate when sites have HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE tracts of empty space on either side of the main content. I get it's for mobile optimization but on my desktop it just means I'm only using 50% of my screen.

Something a bit strange going on there, we do use all of the width. Do you happen to know the resolution of your screen?

Try it on a 27 inch @ 2560x1440. You now have oceans on either side. I usually run my browser in a square just to compensate for websites.

Uh...the native resolution is 1920x1200

(That is odd if it's supposed to be 100% width. Because mine really really isn't.)

2560x1440

I have the same thing going on, but it does not bother me all that much.

I am using a Dell 23" 16x9 aspect ratio monitor running at a 1920x1080 resolution.

It will use full width up to 1200px. Beyond that, we fix the width to preserve some sense of the layout.
