    As you may have noticed, FT and I decided to upgrade the forum software. It takes a lot of work but we thought it will be worth it because the new version buys us a lot of new features that we think are neat and are sure you'll find useful. The downside is that it will take us quite a bit of work to iron out the bugs. We are already aware of a number of issues but I'm sure you'll notice many new ones as well. Please bear with us as we work through this upgrade and let us know of of any bugs that you find.

    Thank you for your patience and support.

    Yay we got mobile browser support! It's not loading by default though. Desktop version also looking a little cramped for space. I'm sure you'll iron that out with time. Thanks frugal, CC.

    Thank you for your feedback ddkay. I've added it to the list of things that needs to be fixed.

    Okay, I think you should get mobile style by default now on mobile devices. Can you let me know if it is working correctly?

    PS: I'm not not sure what you mean by desktop version is looking cramped. Can you please elaborate? Also, let me know which browser you are using. Thanks again!

    I love the new format.

    I actually saw the new format for the first time when I logged on using my iPhone, so I can confirm it has now defaulted to Mobile Browsing when browsing on a mobile device.

    My mobile browsers defaulted to the correct themes this time.

    Re cramped/clutteredness, the "Sponsors" and "New forum posts" widgets takes up about a quarter of the horizontal space on my screen so it's kinda in my face.

    Is there a way to keep that up top? I've also always used Quick links > Today's post, so it would be nice if we could individually disable widgets or add alternatives, personally I would prefer to use none and keep it minimalist

    IE8 and I get all the text crammed into the centre of the page with just white space to the right.

    I get that on Chrome this morning as well. We are looking into this. It's an inadvertent side-effect of some change we made.
