DU4 Ok on the laptop but on my Iphone it's hell.

DU3 I was able to see multiple columns/sections at-a-glance. No more on my Iphone. Now I only see HUGE forum title and a few posts once I navigate to a forum.

It’s like the zoom feature is on and everything is up close. In all of the versions of DU, I’ve never had this problem.

Skinner Mode doesn’t make it any better.

No other sites look zoomed-in like DU4 does on my phone.

I see lots of others saying it’s better on their phones. Not sure what kind of phones they’re using but that’s not the case for me.

I “DU” mostly by phone.

The "new loook" is not great, but I get it. The forum is trying to change into a.... Well, more "discussions" are a good idea.

I miss things like plaid alexander and stuff. But, change is good.

I am back here trying to break Twitter fix. I was around from about Dean notation time. 2004 or so.

We will see how it goes.

It's like if you could turn a dial and get the whole page view, I'd do it. But it's just narrow focus on a few posts at a time. If you want to see more, you've got to punch around through different links and go on a Where's Waldo egg-hunt.

If I could revert back to the actual last DU, I'd stay there. Now, it feels like the site is deciding what to show me; rather then me being in control of what I want to see.

I do keep updated on software updates, don’t know if that might be a factor. Good luck!
