Can you update (after all these years) the "Your comment has been marked for review. It'll be published shortly" error message? We all know the rejected messages are not being reviewed and will not be published shortly (or at all). Thanks 🙂

Any chance of a dark mode?

Nice. Thank you all for your work.

Nice new look, but:
1. The comments ticker doesn't update, so can't see new comments coming in. Won't be able to see the 'captain fail' posts coming in 5 minutes after kickoff. Huge disappointment.
2. Already mentioned elsewhere, refreshing the page doesn't return to the page position you refreshed from.

Its too early to criticise these website changes, and frankly harsh on the people who have spent time on it. But I do have concerns about it.

1. The comments box now only shows 5 comments when it used to show 10 I think, on match day, when this place is busy, that box is going to be flying quicker than you can click a comment.
2. Its not been optimized for mobile in the slightest.
3. The reply's now look like new comments.
4. The scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen does not function properly, that will make the site hard to navigate when pages have 150 comments.
5. There are now massive blanks gaps on the side of the page for adverts, dead space essentially.

I have not used it enough to find other issues, but other people are pointing them out.

In the article it says "The Comments Section has also been refreshed with a new look. This will improve the user experience when you are chatting with the rest of the Scout community."

If this is the final result, you have not improved our experience but made it worse and only really made the font look a little nice. Is this update in reality just an update to incorporate ads better on the site, or improve the user's experience?

I won't pass judgement too fast, as I am sure things will be adjusted and changed a bit, but not looking great so far.

Thanks for shortening the comments bar, changing the font, switching everyting right to left and making replies look like they do on every other amateur run website.

All in favour of improvement btw - others more vocal than me regularly but if something's not broken... (which it never was for me)...

Cant wait for FPL Virgin's take.

Do we love to see the new site?

What kind of UAT process did you actually follow? There isn't even a correctly functioning scroll bar.

The new homepage looks good but I can't access it. All I get is a scrolling top with Members, pre season tracker, podcasts below it and then a list of the latest articles.

Hope you take the time to handle cookies better as well. Tired of logging in every time I visit the site.

Answers to posts start far too left or need some some sort of colour change. Difficult to see who is answering to whom now. 3 mm "space" difference isn't enough.

This all sounds great.

Could someone look into the audio on the podcasts please? It’s pretty awful and often the hosts are speaking at completely different levels. Just needs someone to properly devote a bit of time to get it right as often the podcasts are hard to listen to without having to turn the volume up and down throughout.

Many thanks!

Just checked out the fpl gw1, looks good but the team strength confused me. Is it the playing against them strength or their own strength?
Because what i understood was that they rated the Everton attack over wolves, and the wolves defense better than Everton?

Surely not.

Please someone explain what it really means

All this NFO drama, I bet they have a proper stinker of a season.

Have you finally added the very basic functionality of being able to edit or delete a post? I guess I will find out now after posting this!

Just wanted to send a quick update on the new site changes:

- I've just uploaded some tweaks to the comments UI to make it easier to distinguish replies.
- Refreshing the page should now retain your scroll position on the page instead of resetting back to the top.
- The main scrollbar should be visible again on the right hand side. It had been nudged to the right a little on some devices.

We'll be continually refining and improving the site over the coming days and weeks. Appreciate the feedback so far.

As Sheffield said above, well done for changing the colour of comments so that they are now more distinguishable.

What is going on with the comments box though? Are you planning to make changes to it? As we have all said, it only shows 5 comments now, and it is not auto updating to show new comments.

If the comment box does not get reverted back to how it was, I can guarantee that you will lose a ton of users. There is no way people are going to come here and constantly F5 the page every 30 seconds to see the last 5 comments. If you revert that back, and optimise the site for mobile users, then it will be fine, but if you don't do those things RIP.

What was the logic behind changes to the live comments box? Who made those decisions? Do they actually ever use this website? Is removing the auto update function a way of getting better ad revenue? As in each time we refresh, you get an extra view on an advert? - My instincts tell me that adverts have something to do with it, but hopefully I am wrong.

Feature Request: Can the ability to navigate back through Hot Topics and Community Articles be reinstated s'il vous plaît?
