Hugs for EarlG and our other tech gurus who continue working

[malaise]

on our lovely upgrade DU4

[Hermit-The-Prog]

1. The whole top of the page changed between one click and the next.

I thought I had broken something.

[malaise]

3. Me too

[MiHale]

11. Same here...

Love the changes

[CurtEastPoint]

2. Indeed! Great job.

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. I like the tabs being visible!

Thanks.

[MOMFUDSKI]

5. Question.

On my IPhone when I read a post and then arrow back to get to the next post it auto refreshes back to the most recent post and then I have to scroll down to get back to where I was. Can this be corrected? Thanks.

6. Thank you EarlG and crew!

🤗🤗👏

[Comfortably_Numb]

7. Wheeeeeeee. What a welcome update

[Permanut]

8. EarlG, you and your crew are taking good care of us..

Many thanks!

[Mr.Bill]

9. I thought things were okay the way they were,

but then I only use a laptop, so I'm not familiar with the problems there were using phones and tablets. And I do like the changes.

[malaise]

12. I was fine with the changes

But these additions are even better

[Hekate]

13. Lucky us

[CousinIT]

14. Ditto that! n/t

[bluestarone]

15. Yea for sure!!

[applegrove]

16. It just keeps getting better!!!

[PatSeg]

17. Yes, excellent upgrade!

[slightlv]

18. I appreciate how much work

goes into a project like this, and how much creativity and foresight. I commend you not only on the work you've done (which is excellent!), but also on your receptiveness to us, the users. We can be an unruly lot sometimes (gryn)... and it's hard to please everyone. So far, it looks like you've done a fantastic job of doing just that. Thank you!!!!

[AmBlue]

19. Thank you EarlG and team!!

You all have done a fantastic job, and are SO appreciated!! Carry on!!

[DinahMoeHum]

20. This looks much better! Thanks, guys

[Uncle Joe]

21. They rock! We know it, they know it and the American People know it!

Thanks for the thread malaise.

[Joinfortmill]

22. No issues for me

[Fla Dem]

23. Nice Work Guys. Fantastic!!!

[EarlG]

24. You are very welcome and

hugs to all the DUers who have been patiently putting up with the work while we update the site. I appreciate everyone's feedback and I think we definitely needed a course correction after the initial DU4 launch, so I'm pleased with the changes in the new patch. We'll of course continue to make tweaks, fixes and improvements going forward but hopefully we won't need any more major patches for a while.

[Scottie Mom]

25. I can't see anything at the top of any page.

The new tabs cover the top of everything.

It’s awful. It’s ugly, but that would be OK if I could see a full page.

😞

[ZZenith]

28. On what device are you viewing it?

Works great on my laptop, desktop and iPad. I can see the top of everything on the pages.

Hmmm. Could your display settings be causing this?

[Scottie Mom]

29. iPhone. EOM

[ZZenith]

39. Hmmm. Looks perfect on my iPhone. Eom

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. Just checked on an android phone and the tabs are stationary while I scroll.

Likewise, the area above the tabs is stationary while scrolling the body -- contains "DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND" and a search magnifying glass icon.

Don't have an iPhone on which to check it, sorry.
Didn't log in on my phone while reading using Samsung's browser.

[Scottie Mom]

32. Top of pages covered and no magnifying glass.

It’s bad enough to have a serious orthopedic injury and to be in the hospital. DU was a savior ... until today when it was made into a mess.

Why keep making it worse????

🤷🏻‍♀️

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. I suspect display settings issues...

First thing I would check is whether or not you have 'large fonts' selected in your DU 'Visual appearance' settings.

I don't know what settings you have available for your browser.

[Scottie Mom]

36. Had Large Fonts. Removed. Problem continues. EOM

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. You should start a thread in the Help forum ...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1256

Include a screenshot if you can, so EarlG can see what you're having to deal with.

[Scottie Mom]

38. I just did. EOM. 😎

[Bundbuster]

26. Yes, everything looks great on my desktop

I'm too IT-ignorant to understand just how much work, how many hours have gone into all the upgrading, but I'm sure it's bigly huge. And I sure do appreciate it... ... ...

[Magoo48]

27. Yahooooooooo

[Think. Again.]

30. I was sooo happy with DU4, and then....

...you went and made it even better! Thank You!

[Kingofalldems]

33. I like the new tab things.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. What She Said!

I really like the look of it better, and I almost exclusively use my phone!
Well done by them!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

40. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I only look at this site on my desktop, or more rarely on my laptop computer. Haven't a clue what it's like for those who only use a cell phone, but this recent change to look more like the earlier version is highly welcome. Thank you. I will now be spending more time here.

[TNNurse]

41. Count me in with a hug.

I think it cleaner, clearer and user friendly.

I am not one of the most prolific posters but this ole girls likes this better.

[Skittles]

42. EarlG & CO are awesome

it's why I always contribute during the fundraisers - DU just gets better and better - if you want to see what happens when a website does not evolve, check out the Freak Republic

[Give Peace A Chance]

43. I am LOVING this change!

Thanks earlG.

[SouthernDem4ever]

44. Great Job - site is working great.

[appalachiablue]

45. A lot of great work, many thanks!

[applegrove]

46. I did not know they were still working on it. You never rest.

Thanks for making this the best site.

[calimary]

47. It's a LOT of work. Thank you for being willing to do it.

Your work keeps us well-informed and wired-in.

[Ford_Prefect]

48. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, EarlG et al!!!

[Generic Brad]

49. This upgrade is awesome

And I finally have to admit, it is better than DU3 was.

[CaptainTruth]

50. Yes! I'm loving the latest changes!

[RKP5637]

51. They have done a superb and extraordinary job.

[malaise]

52. You know what's even nicer

They addressed issues raised by DUers
Maybe they should run for office 😀😀

[RKP5637]

53. Yeah, exactly. What a change that would be if politicians actually listened to constituents. n/t
