What's happening to my avatar?. It keeps switching between my original and present image

We can see it?

Noticed the green dot to show a members on-line status has disappeared, is this going to be reintroduced?

You have a green dot Nigel, top left of your avatar.

Odd I'm not seeing it on mine or anyone else's

As I am typing this message, my avatar is not displaying an online green dot.

 

[Brunneria]

I like it. (Except for the 'dislike' button, which I think is going to cause some open warfare in the near future...)

Do I have to click on my name (top R) in order to check for green flags, or will they automatically appear?

@SweetLucie
There is an option to tone the colours down by switching to a monochrome scheme.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen underneath the Tweet icon, there is a dropdown box offering 'Mild' or 'red'.
Click to choose, and you should get a greyer or redder version.

Not sure if the dropdown is visible on all platforms...

I'm another one with no green dot, and I'm on-line and typing.

I quite like the larger font and avatars.

I notice the disagree button has gone, thank goodness and thank you.

why has the disagree button gone? shouldnt all members have got a say in it rather than getting rid of it only hours after it was installed? only 1 person said they didnt like it on this thread after all!

It was discussed at length in the thread on which we were asked for our opinions and what we would like to see/not to see in the new format. The majority didn't want it because of potential problems and disharmony.

May we also be able to see which mods are online?

What's the difference between 'New Posts' and 'Recent Posts' - the view seems exactly the same to me.

Used to think that 'unanswered' threads was really useful, why has that gone?

I can't see new or recent posts at all on my iphone? Am I looking in wrong place??

 

[lovinglife]

No green dot on my name and I would like to like and agree at the same time too - so far I like the changes

I'm seeing that

 

[eddie1968]

I like the new format and like others am happy there is no "Dislike" button, it would cause tension amongst members.

Looks very strange but will get used to the new style, trying to work out how to like a post

Yes, there is always an avatar - sometimes it's the picture of me which is my current avatar and sometimes it's of Audrey Hepburn which was my original avatar when I joined the forum. Keeps things interesting though

The changes make the forum look great - if you are a 12 year old shrieking over their first message using emojis. Just use facebook its easier.

additionally a user I have put on ignore is still showing posts in this thread when I am logged in. What else do I have to do to ensure I do not see their posts?
