At this stage I'm leaning towards alternate view. Seems less "white" and easier to navigate.
Enjoy the new site

Ok, "Alternate Silvertails" is definitely better. Bearable. Another week or two, and things will be dandy i hope. But still there are many issues, not least of which is the slowness of execution on Android phones.
Dan, Weren't you gonna do some kind of mobile version interface ?
No I won't be adding a mobile theme now as both of these work as mobile themes and a mobile theme won't chsnge any load profiling.
I have run tests on the site on the following devices.
- Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 (wifi)
- Samsung Galaxy s3 (wifi and 4g.. Wifi at home and work)
- htc one (wifi and 4g)
- iPhone 5s
Not one of them presents issues with speed or making the phone get hot, there is nothing in the code that would do that.
The only thing I can think is that you have old links that you are using to get to the site, this is triggering a redirect each time as the url scheme is different, that could be making it slower.
If you also have some kind of antivirus or firewall it may be that the redirect are forcing it to be filtered which causes higher process stress on your phone and that would increase heat, all of which is nothing that I can do on this end to fix.
My advice would be to clear the cache and cookies on your phone and then go directly to the Silvertails url.
I'm pretty tired and grumpy today so my message will be pretty short here in that "many many problems" is an exaggeration and more likely a reaction to change than it is to here being any issues. The vast majority so not have any of these issues and I have had independent testers on various devices operating systems and browsers looking at it for us.
Is your android phone connected to wifi or are you relying on Australia's famously bad mobile network?
@Fluffy excellent this theme has slightly less overheads which is better for older browsers, the backend is the same and you only loss a handful of features you likely wouldn't have noticed.
This theme is certainly an homage to the old design and moving away from current design trends, but if it functions for you then I'm happy

Someone's been up all night with a ruler. There's more defining lines on the new theme (not the alternate)
🙂
🙂
Is it an improvement for you?
On one hand....it's easier to see the delineation between posts which is good.
But we're back looking like the 1990's (which I'm thinking some people prefer).
However....I'm a strange barrel of lungfish and usually adapt to things pretty quickly so either or.
(must be the libran in me)
FTR - I was still using the new format and not the alternate one. I get the feeling most will prefer the alternate or this one than the shiny new one - their choice (obv).
I don't love the lines it defeats the purpose, I'll make them a little more subtle I think.
I'm also easily adaptive and let go easily. In also libran though...
*libran high five!
Thanks mate no donations needed it's a labour of love and my own sadomadochistic desires haha.
I don't need sleep anyway 🙂
Huge improvements on the mobile for me, thanx Dan. Has gone from very frustrating and hard to use to closer to what it was now and looks good
