@creativeforge --
I'd prefer if the "like" button was on the left side where it used to be. I think it's a little harder to find it now (as people tend to read left to right), and I keep going to click in the usual spot and almost accidentally hitting "report".
You might see an uptick in "reports" and a drop in "likes" with the current configuration.

I sort of mentioned this already, but I'd minus-one this (sorry). I think this new arrangement is vastly better. Most forums have the reply buttons on the right, and I like the clear difference in button / font sizes between this and the report or bookmark buttons on the left.
IMO the old arrangement was an odd one (almost every time I replied I nearly reported someone), but regulars just got used to it.
BTW, I also like the new preview button on the quick reply box, that was 2 clicks before.

Thanks to everyone who worked on this! Still getting used to it, but everything working OK for me so far, on both Chrome and Safari. Looks a lot better!

Thank you!DONE!!
If anyone's still struggling with font size, and you happen to be on Firefox, here's an add-on that lets you set the default pt size on a per-site level:
addons.mozilla.org
Meanwhile, I have a nit to pick, regarding the tracking of unread topic titles.

Recovering graphic designer here, sorry. These things just get to me.
Otherwise everything looks great! Loving the dark mode.
Fixed Zoom – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Download Fixed Zoom for Firefox. Extension that sets a custom default zoom for all pages in Firefox. You can set a general zoom for all pages or custom rules depending on the site.

I was trying to create more space between the letters because some people have a hard time reading them clearly. I think spacing them would allow more definition.
I silenced the code for this.
I trust the recovery is working well, otherwise?

Oh well, back to me reporting everyone... though to be fair, as I mentioned the clear difference in font between Reply and Report still makes it better than it was.

You know they both are the same font and size? What makes it better for you?

I get this as well on Android with the latest version of Chrome (75.0.3770.143). 540 x 960 screen resolution.

You know, you're right - and to prove it I also nearly reported you!
It does look visually more distinct now than it was - the shading behind like and report perhaps? - but its now reverted to being unlike almost every other forum. I'll apologise in advance to anyone I supsequently report.
Oh well, you win some you lose some. More important to me is to find a quick way of showing What's New when you click What's New. Grateful for anything you can do there.

Here's a screenshot of the mobile scrolling issue, with the screen scrolled to the right. It looks like the What's new/Latest posts/New profile posts bar is just slightly too long and is forcing the page to be slightly larger than the screen. Only happens on pages that have that bar.

Now I almost reported a post instead of liking it.
And I almost did the same thing. Muscle memory... oh muscle memory, please reset yourself...

Interesting. I have a Motorola X-Play and it's not doing that. Let me look further into this.

Whatever you did, the issue is fixed now.
