My thoughts about the new layout + a small update · 1:11am Jun 6th, 2017
Usually, my approach to these kind of updates is very negative, but I tried to retain a positive attitude for once. However, while I browsed the site and checked out the change log, I now have a rather mixed feelings. Like people sometimes say, don’t fix what ain’t broken. First of all, mobile layout is horrible and completely unappealing. All it shows is the comment page. And second, the color blue is overly dominant now. I also miss the color coded tags, along with those adorable pony heads that showed the characters in the story. All these changes have made looking for stories you like, unnecessarily hard and annoying. It’s cold and bland, lacking characteristics that the old version had. Also, now I can’t see if my stories had got more views. I have to go to the story page for that. A very small, but annoying thing.
Then there are avatars. Personally, I don’t mind the round avatars, mostly because my avatar was already round ball inside of that box. Now it looks a lot better. But I have seen how this has affected on some cool avatars people have. An another thing I personally liked, was the possibility to make the “robot” to read the chapters. Because of my dyslexia, I don’t always read stuff myself. With this reader, I can follow the text while it reads for me. The quality is pretty horrible, of course, but I can take it in a small doses. Frankly, the voice is very different on my laptop than on my tablet or phone. I prefer the laptop because it goes slower for whatever reason.
Okay then. That out of the way, I will give a little update about The Power Within for those who are interested. I’m having some bad time IRL and that has already affected on my motivation to write. I can’t concentrate properly when there’re loads of other things in my mind. On the other hoof, I may even be able to use that to my advantage. I tend to be at my best when I’m sad. At least in my mind...
The 7th chapter is mostly done, but I need to find an editor or a proofreader - or both. The 8th chapter is still incomplete as I’m having some problems with it. It may be the last chapter, but I can’t say for sure just yet. For Celestia’s sake, the next time I’m creating a story I’ll make sure I know how it freaking ends... 
But that is that. A bit longer post than usually, not that anyone ever comments or anything - I just pretend I don’t mind. 
If you're having trouble with all the blue, I made a user style to restore the green menu bar. Helps a lot.

Well, it's nothing I can't live with, it's more of those blue tags all over the place that I don't care all that much. But thanks for letting me know, I might check it out later.
And thanks for the comment.
Can any one figure out how to check what groups a storys been placed in on mobile?
I cant work it out for the life of me.

I couldn't find that either. Maybe it's simply not possible on mobile at the moment.
