I just realized I can see signatures on my mobile only if I turn my mobile to landscape view. If my mobile is vertical (portrait view), I cannot see signatures.

Guess the forum skin has changed today. Havent checked it on desktop yet but for mobile its not a great improvement imho. I need more actions/buttons to navigate. Any reason for this change?

It definitely changed!
I do like the symbol, Rod of Asclepius? Or maybe it's just a snake and a needle.
Parts of it are more versatile, like the drop-down menu to find "other content" from a poster.

Hey guys, yes some changes were made. If you remember originally when we switched to Xenforo we were going to add a template but we never got around to it until now.

However, I agree with you, I am not happy with the mobile version either. Me and @tfcjesse are doing some tweaks to it to see if we can get it more user friendly. On the desktop it seems fine (just the text/font seems larger).

Also the logo was updated by @tfcjesse ,which I think looks much much better. Let's give it a few days or so to see if this theme can be smoothed out and if you guys still don't like it, we could possibly revert to the old layout but with the new logo and everything.

Any feedback is fine, I will not get offended lol

Yes, it's the Rod of Asclepius, or at least is supposed to resemble it.

We'll be tweaking the style here and there, of course the old version is always an option to fall back on.

I liked it better before I think... but I can't quite put my finger on it. The searching is better now though.
But I'm cool either way.

I prefered the balance symbol, because this snake and needle make me think of something very medical. Ok we talk about health, but...

this symbol now reminds me too much about conventional medicine.

The balance symbol gave a lawyer vibe IMO. Interestingly enough, a number of conventional medical practices erroneously use the Staff of Hermes:

which has little to do with medicine. On the other hand, the Rod/snake symbol in the current logo is said to represent healing, experimental medicine, and would be correctly associated with the Hippocratic Oath.

I could just be biased because I think it looks better :)

Its not too bad, only the new posts button is less convenient (for mobile)

On mobile view, the unread posts page can be accessed by clicking on the small logo next to the sidebar menu.

I have grown to like it a bit more, mainly the forum list section it looks much more cleaner and sleek looking compared to the old style.

I do agree with @Jaxx though. If we can sort a few things out on the mobile version, could be perfect. Also, @Jaxx are you using android/google chrome on your mobile device? You can just go to setting and select "use desktop version" and it will change the site layout to the desktop version your mobile device.
