Default RE: Recent Site Updates, Did this website get messed up?

Everything is all... terrible looking. And the text box to make this message is like ... 180x240. Which on a 4K screen is just ... bad. lol

Did something screw up? It's been like this all week.

Looks like they updated to a newer version or something to me, I personally do not like the new look.

Yeah, I agree. It's harder on my phone to tell which threads have a new response because all the colors are the same now. I don't even bother with the mobile version. LS1Tech must have taken inspiration from the newest Camaro redesign, change what everybody like to what nobody likes lol. (sorry mods).

Moving to US&R...

Yes, there was an update. There seem to be some bugs, hopefully IB will get some of this worked out soon.

That explains it. Yeah, the primary problem is the strange text box size scrunched to the left. lol

Some other issues have been pointed out among the staff as well. We haven't yet heard back from IB on these, but I know there are other updates coming in the near future as well. Hopefully some resolution will be found for these bugs.

I have no idea maybe it's side job for them, Maybe you can show them how to do it right the first time.

Lets see your website?

Fixing things that are not broken seems to be the common theme with the Internets.

Truth!! Seems to be a real common trend. "softer/more appealing colors" and "more intuitive interfaces" make it look goofy and hard to navigate. Dont worry, Im sure someone with a college degree designed it!

Believe or not they have to do updates most of the time, They have to keep up with all the different browsers and updates to those browsers. It's not as simple as most people think it is and it's very common to have bugs to work out. Even the biggest software companies use beta versions of software to try to avoid problems and they still happen. Problem is you can't always test updates before you implement them.
