Huge congrats Dani, the new DaniWeb is not only looking slick and on-trend but actually feeling so much better to use, more powerful and more professional. I'm loving it so far!

A BIG thank you from me for all the hard work you've put into this.

Short note for readers arriving here later: the redesign earned a lot of positive feedback from long-time members (thanks to for the early thumbs-up) and the team moved quickly to iterate on community reports (shout-out to for flagging issues and to for the fast follow-up). Several members, including and , have been watching adoption and traffic — that context explains why a few small polish items were prioritized right after launch.

Quick troubleshooting checklist (for readers who see odd behaviour):

  • Before submitting a long reply, copy your text to the clipboard or a plain-text draft to avoid losing it.
  • If posting redirects or the page looks wrong: sign out and back in, clear the site cache, try an updated browser or an incognito window, and disable content-blocking extensions temporarily.
  • On mobile display problems, test rotating the device, updating the browser app, or testing in a different browser; if the layout still breaks, note device model, OS version and browser version.
  • When reporting a reproducible bug, include exact steps, a timestamp, screenshots, the URL, and your @username — these details cut investigation time dramatically.
  • If you want more durable protection against lost replies, request an autosave/draft feature in site feedback.

Suggestions for the site team and community to boost adoption and quality:

  • Pin a concise "what changed" post and a short guided tour for returning members; make feature highlights easy to share on social channels.
  • Add a simple autosave/local-draft mechanism and server-side draft API to protect long replies.
  • Improve discoverability with clearer tag organization and structured data for threads, and measure success with signups, referral sources and engagement metrics so tweaks are data-driven.

Good to see the community engaging early — continued clear bug reports and short how-to posts will help traffic and member retention more than any one layout tweak.

Yep looks really good!

In making this reply I encountered a slight bug. I typed some words into the box, hit "post reply" and it took me to the login page. On mobile, the actual form was way off the bottom of the page, but when I found it, I was redirected to a 404.

Both bugs already fixed ... You're no longer redirected to a 404 and the form isn't at the bottom anymore.

Pretty slick looking. Still feeling my way around.

I think this is the first big design change we’ve had that didn’t come with a ton of mixed reviews right off the bat.
