I hope this will help people with the new site

Note: this was prepared on a Mac in Safari. The mobile version will look a little different.

I think the number one issue people have with a cluttered look and everything is the Card View versus List View option near the top of the page. You probably will want List View, and then click "Set Default". The page will look a lot closer to the old page.

In preferences, third icon from the left, you can set your default page. Personally, I like "Hot". Sounds like it should be sexy pics, but unfortunately, no. Heh. Don't forget to click on "Save" at the bottom of the page.

Next up, select the pages that you want to filter for your default page and the default sorting order. I have "Bass Guitar" and "Industry News" selected and the default sort order of "Last post date" / "Descending". Then click "Save".

Those changes should get you close to the old layout, pic your preference of Dark or Light either in preferences or at the bottom of the page.

Next up is Alert preferences which is a major change from the old site. They are located in Preferences and I have turned off just about everything (there are a lot). No pop-ups, no Pushes. But those preferences are largely up to you.

Hope this helps!

List view is much better.
I also only just saw there's a dark mode due to another thread.

This will do.

That helped thank you

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Thanks!....great info.
When it comes to tech, I literally need it laid out like your teaching a 7 year old.

Good job! Very helpful to us old dogs learning new tricks, hehe.

 

[SemiDriven]

Helpful -- thanks!

Yeah, list view is the way to go. Much cleaner are more reminiscent of the old TB. Looks better on my iPhone too.

So far I'm liking the upgrade. The process is a bit like buying a new car and fiddling with all the controls in order to figure it out instead of reading the owner's manual.

Thanks!

I hate messing with settings without guidance because that often leads to . . . . "NOW what the hell have I done"

This was super helpful!

 

[Reedt2000]

Thank you, much better

 

[Wyrdlow]

Cheers, mate! Much appreciated. That's a lot better.

I think the search functions for the Classifieds need to be fixed. Why is the search menu option at the bottom of the drop down?? Then it takes you to the advance search menu for the classifieds. Before you could easily navigate to them from the homepage. Same with the Forums search.

I don't see a "Card View versus List View option" near the top of the page anywhere on the screen.

I don't see a "Card View versus List View option" near the top of the page anywhere on the screen.

Look for "Set Default" and just to the left of that (on both web and mobile) there are the two icons for list and card views. This is only on the main pages like "Hot". When you go into a forum there won't be an option for list / card as it show the posts individually there.

WAY better! Thank you!

Has anyone figured out how to sort or filter the classified by bass, amps, accessories, etc.?

 

[rstephens]

Thanks for this tip. Took a minute but once set up it is great! Now I hope they let the classifieds also get into the "new posts" feed like they were before. If not, I can live with keeping two browser tabs open all the time.

 

[edencab]

excellent tip

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Wish you could sort by reply count, that would make it closer to the old forum layout. Not sure if that's an option.

Another thing that helped in general (from my phone) was reducing the font size from medium (default) to small. It makes readability much better, for me. One example, the links at the bottom are on one line and don’t look as clumsy.
