We are upgrading both the forum and the homepage/database. The "secure" issue is being dealt with. First step is the forum upgrade we just did. The rest is coming in the next few weeks.
Is it possible to bring back the previous and next thread buttons? It's now more work to move between posts. Overall, I love the changes though!
Working on it.
There are 43 different pages now, which makes it hard to find an old thread.I know there is, but the scope of that thread is the actual Relief Line North project, which is Line 3 from Line 2 to Line 4. IMO, the proposals in that thread for extensions to Richmond Hill via RH GO or Markham via Victoria Park/Woodbine is much more suited for the Fantasy Map thread or a 4th Relief Line Thread.
To be honest, having an individual thread for each section of the Relief Line is a good idea, but there does come some discussions that would be better suited for a general merged thread, that could potentially contain links to all the “sub-threads” and contain its own posts as well. Kind of like having a sub-forum for “Urban Life” has sub-sub-forums for “Neighbourhood Node”, “Out & About”, and “Retail”, and each sub-sub-forum have their own threads.
This then opens up the forum to some crazy ideas like this:
Sorry if I'm getting too off topic, as it is probably more appropriate to the "Forum Issues" sub-forum.

I agree (as I type this post on a 27" iMac with Retina Display set to small text, more space).The new forum design is almost unusable on computers with high resolution displays (4k). The scrolling is terribly jittery, especially on pages with a lot of media posts. I kind of miss the old form design from a few years ago, that used a more basic HTML layout. Performance was never an issue with that configuration.
This whole site redesign is a complete mess. I can’t believe the Urban Toronto team saw this, used it for more than a day and decided to keep it.
