Hey guys,
So I know that some people are having issues with the new layout and want me to change it back. Two things: 1) I got really bored of the old layout and am dead set against changing it back 2) It's possible that the layout will change every now and then (months at a time -- not every week or few weeks, I promise you that -- because it's a nice change.
I know this one is a lot different because everything that used to be on the right side is now on the left. So I'm not going to change it because it's a 'change' and it's 'different'.
I WILL, however, change it if it's causing problems with using it on certain devices (iphones, other phone browsers, tablets, etc.) BUT I need to know the exact issue so that when I change it, we won't be faced with the same problem again.
So if you're having issues viewing the layout on a certain devices, could you reply here with a few things: 1 - What kind of a browser are you using and on what device? (example: safari on an ipod) 2 - What is the issue with it? (examples: "I can't quick reply." or "It won't let me PM anyone." or "I can't start a thread." or "I can't even view anything because it's warped and text is overlapping.") 3 - What skin are you using? (example: default, one, Michelle, etc)
This would be really helpful, so if you could do this asap, that would be great. Until I get some feedback, I'm going to leave this layout up because there's no point changing it and ending up with the same problems with a different layout.
tl;dr - I hated the old layout, and in order to change this one, I need you to tell me why this one isn't working for you.

I' m using google chrome and it keeps crashing occasionally. It's not THAT big of a deal but it's so annoying. Especially right after you type a reply...

That could just be proboards. That wouldn't be anything to do with the layout. Proboards can be glitchy sometimes. I use Firefox and it doesn't crash (but it sometimes spazzes out, but that's just proboards). ALWAYS copy your post before you post it so you don't lose it. That's the number 1 rule of proboards, haha

I'm having problems viewing the site on my laptop when I use Internet explore and I am having trouble viewing the site on my I pad when I use safari. on both devices all I see is the banner, the background and the bar that has members, profile, logout, etc. I believe I am using the default 2 skin. It's the one that's purple.

I'm having a similar problem as Lime on my phone. Absolutely nothing shows up except the banner, the background, and the bar.

It's perfectly fine on my phone (blackberry browser). Let me check my ipod's safari browser... It is doing what you guys said: just loading the banner. Let me check IE (btw IE is the worst browser for these things, so I HIGHLY suggest switching to Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome or, really, any other browser. So that's the best fix for you, Lime. Honestly, if it's just safari for ipods, ipads, and iphones that it's not working on, I'm not going to change it, because that's a safari problem. Just use another browser. Mac stuff isn't compatible with a lot of things. It's most likely not compatible with IE because IE sucks and a LOT of things aren't compatible with IE. A lot. I could switch the layout and it probably still wouldn't be compatible with IE. So here's the question: It's just not working on Apple phones and stuff? If you guys have access to the site some other way (like a computer) you can just use that. tl;dr - Don't use IE; it's not reliable at all. Apple products are picky about what they CAN view. What devices do you go on here on most often? And is it an issue for you to use a different browser?

ps, Sara, I'm glad you like it. I'm glad I found it. There aren't many pb skin layouts on caution and the ones that ARE on there suck :/ If I was better at coding, I'd make my own.

@melissa: Well you use a computer mostly when you're on, right? So it's not a huuge deal if it doesn't load onto your android, right?
@lime: Oh so it work on the iphone? Weird that it will load there but not on the ipod/ipad :/ Considering they use the same browser. Let me know if you switch from IE and if it works on whichever browser you switch to.

Yeah but that means I can't go on during school. I have NOTHING to do during study hall so I usually reply to a bunch of posts during that time. T__T

Courtney I understand that you don't want to go back to the original lay out; but we need a new one. Jacey says she won't be able to go on for more then an hour every week due to the fact that it won't work on her nook.
Me and lime are having similar situations. It won't be as drastic as a problem as Jacey but still a major inconvience never the less.
Perhaps try another lay out that will be more compatible to more devices?
