I just got a pop up that card view is now available and it shows it in the 3-dots pull down menu under view mode but nothing happens if I select it. What's going on there?

Apparently

Noted

We have another Card View option coming out next month which should help with the contrast and extremes either way greatly.

So... If it's coming out NEXT MONTH why are we getting the pain in the butt pop up NOW???
I've had to close the stupid thing 3 times already.

On my tablet, at least, Card View puts each post into its own little white frame, or “card”. I don’t really see the point.

I believe this is a global change for all the forums using this platform.

I am wondering why some of us are getting annoying popups and others aren't. I suspect it may be the browser. I use Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 backed up by a free version of AdBlocker Ultimate and a pay version of Private Internet Access VPN which has it's own ad blocker.

I don't see ads or popups. (well, maybe the occasional popup but it's not a problem) I'm sure the owners of the site will "fix" that soon enough. But for now it's working for me. Also, I do my best to avoid Google, well kind of. I have a Google account that I use to log in to some sites but not here. I use Duck Duck Go for a search engine. You might want to try changing things up a bit if the ads and popups are making life miserable. Even for us older tech-challenged types it's not that big of a lift to assign a different search engine and download the latest browser from M$.

I have card view available now. Remember that when VSAdmin said "next month" it was last month, so it would hold that it is available now, since last month's "next month" is this month's "this month".

 

[ZootTheSim]

Like when my British relatives say “next week“, but really mean this week?

 

[Guto]

you can go to the menu under the 3 dots on the right upper corner, select View Mode and switch back to the prior view, called "Comfort"

Card View is easier for me to see what is what on this forum. It is similar to a Moodle web site that I administrate. So, for me, this is a visual improvement.

I think it is the browser. I am using Brave, which is rather effective at blocking adds. Some sites warn me that they cannot load the ads they want me to see.

Tried them both
Light and dark mode.
Can't say that one is better than the other. The differences are negligible on my crap phone.

That's a link to a month old reply from VS, while folks where "struggling" with just how black & white the colour scheme is. Like you, I can't see any significant difference.

Respected to VS for sticking to the deployment schedule!

The card view is available now in a beta version and I’ve installed it, in dark or light mode, works very nicely ( making the tex more visible aginst the light or dark background) .

I like it very much on my computer

 

[datsaxman]

Select the Card Mode to make the popups cease. Then, as pointed out earlier, select or deselect Card Mode or Comfort Mode or whatever.

It is just like a version update on your phone I suppose.

 

[turf3]

I just clicked on OK and the popups stopped and there was no change whatsoever in the appearance of the forum. So at least for me it's just another one of those software mysteries, like that light switch in your old house that doesn't appear to turn anything on or off.

Oh well, no one asks why anymore.

 

[malteof]

The card mode solved a lot of the readability issues on this website for me, so I think it's a great improvement. Much easier to see where a post starts and ends now (on computer).

 

[datsaxman]

Oh well, no one asks why anymore.

Isn't that exactly the topic of this thread??

 

[milandro]

I too clearly see a rectangle ( darker in light mode and lighter in dark mode) which delimits the post, a great innovation indeed, on my phone, apparently, the card view was turned on on its own, I didn’t need to switch to it
