Newer format

In response to your many comments regarding a recent update to our display of information on mobile devices, we've reworked the design so that it should take up much less vertical space to allow for easier viewing/scrolling. We've done this while still retaining the ability to fully view a topic's related information without needing to scroll horizontally. This only relates to the pages on which we list the most recent topics for each section of our forum. We hope that today's change will take care of the majority of the concerns raised. For those of you that just don't like changes, this should be the last time for a while. If you only view our forum on your desktop, you won't even notice!

Do let us know if you have any comments.

yosemite1, I saw your recent comment. The position of our Search bar hasn't changed. If you're on a mobile device, it's behind the menu button in the top corner of your screen (the button looks like 5 horizontal lines).

Thank you Webmaster, you're amazing!

I like the new changes because I can see more topics on my small iPhone screen now.

Thank you for taking all our comments into consideration! :-)

Thank you much for all your work and listening to all of our concerns. Rick Steves, if you're reading this, your Webmaster deserves a raise or at least a free tour of his/her choice along with a companion.

I still don't like it on an ipad mini, but i guess you can't have it all. There is so much white space and it was much easier to scan through the posts when the data was laid out in columns. Oh well ...

I don't see any improvement on my iPad mini. Still involves a lot more scrolling than it used to.

Webmaster,

Fantastic, looks great! I'll test it out more over the next few days.

Thanks it is an improvement especially on the iPhone. For the iPad though there is still a lot of unused gray and white row space around the text. Is there something like cell padding that could be adjusted downward to give more lines and less scrolling?
