(But...?) When I entered the forum everything looks quite the same.

The forum has been slowly improved over the course of the past 10 years. 6 or maybe 7 years ago the forum transitioned to a CSS framework that was mobile-friendly-ish/ for that time period. The behind-the-scenes structure of the forum is very different than the www part of the site. The www part of the site has remained roughly the same for 12 to 15 years. That's why it's been reworked before the forum. The forum is next and will happen in 2 phases but for the next few months the forum will remain mostly unchanged, at least from a user's perspective. (There's a lot that has to happen on the server end of things first.) It will get done. The new www portion of the site represents about 4 months of 60 to 80 hour work weeks for me this winter.

1. It shows two names twice, but I think that's because the other two girls don't have profile pics
2. Related to #1, it shows the names of the girls who have profile pics on their pages, but it doesn't show the pics themselves.

Compare with the current site's version of that page: https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/movie/anal-casting-4-hard-x

edit: oh also, the studio image is broken (underneath the double names)

The double names and the broken studio image could have been related to a temporary 404 error on those files not loading. I have restarted the website a dozen times in the past hour as I set up the load balancing for the new site. edited to add... one of the names in the double name is the image alt tag for the performer headshot that didn't load.

Yes, that's true. The forum is not changing for now.

Great job. I can well imagine how long it took to get this done...

The only thing that "annoys" me in the forum is that it takes 2 or 3 steps to get back to the (first) forum page after you posted in a thread.... but maybe it´s just me who hasn´t found the trick over the years

That "Adult DVD Talk is a 56,626 member community of [...]" paragraph full of numbers and commas... looks like noise/mentally adblocked.

I'm not sure the "Join the Community" button pops out much (nor translates that well), the word "Forum" is hidden behind exploratory clicks unless you scroll down.

Just wanted to say thank you to the people who run this place. It's one of my favorite online forums. High quality discussion, people who are real and speak their mind. Plus porn. A winning combo for sure.

It's sometimes hard to believe we've been doing this for 20 years. I think it's because we have a great community here.

[Link]

Everyone, appreciate all the feedback! We know there's more to do, always more to do, but at least we've got our foot through the door of the modern era. 99% of the kudos go to Drew.

Comfortable in use, reasonable amount of ads, great discussions (beside porn too) to follow and join and easy access to movies and sites.....and further improvements ahead.

You have done a great job over the years!

Cube ... worried

We likely would get more porn star participation if the forum was more mobile-friendly. That and if people would stop insulting them constantly ;)

Cube ... happy again

The thing that's causing it is this:

At least that's what I remember. I only started posting here recently after many years of not posting. The first one I noticed is:

1. There's a marker that is left automatically after you edit a post. The problem is, it leaves it even if you've edited your post immediately after posting. Every other forum I'm in, the minimum time before it leaves an "edited" marker is 5 mins after your initial post. Most of them are much longer than that.

What happens is that sometimes you don't notice a typo until after you post. It's especially easier to miss a typo on ADT because of problem 2.

2. When using the preview feature, many times I cannot see all of the post that was quoted along with my comment. It cuts off at least 50% of the post.

3. There's no way to delete a post. I've never run across this in any other forum. I had to ask mods to delete some consecutive posts (because I made some editing errors) and I saw no way to do it. All I could do is delete the text, and leave a series of blank posts with the "edited" marker showing.

BTW, I use a PC.
