It's a lot cleaner here and easier to read - finally! Kudos to all at Team BWW for helping us get through this awful time in a variety of ways.

I agree. The site looks slicker and stylish, and the new font is easier to read. Thanks so much Team BWW!

Now please get rid of those videos that play automatically in the bottom corner

And, if possible, extend the new font into the posts themselves for consistency?

Unless I don't where to find it, the mail display, (in the upper right hand corner)  is gone.   Once logged in, it used to display 0 mail or if you have mail, the number.   I personally think the font is too small.

Hi all - if you're having a little trouble reading the font you might just have to make the text a little bigger. 

To do that on a Mac just click Command & "+" at the same time on your keyboard.

On windows - it's Control & "+"

On an iPhone, you can follow this handy guide!

Where are the Private Messages?

[Moderator]

Posted: 5/18/20 at 3:30pm

Private messages should be on the top right of the page. If you don't have this icon, can you send me a screenshot to [e-mail] along with your computer/browser info?

Thanks.

I agree. It covers content and they are not always easy to close.

Make it thee for me! Especially on my iPhone, they take up most of the screen. When I try to close it, I end up opening it instead. It's very frustrating, to say the least. That's why I no longer use this site on my iPohen that much. Why bother ?

As an old, old, OLD timer, let me say, "It looks great!" 

And I hope the old private messages return. I have some from Lin Manuel Miranda that I treasure.

(Not to mention some from NYadgal I treasure even more!)

AGREED! Sometimes my internet is not fast and it takes a while to load partly because of that video that I have no interest of clicking on anyway.

I'll add my name to this list in getting rid of the extras on the side. The hot stories, Broadwayworld TV videos, Next On Stage, Regional Theater News, etc. all takes up a lot of space and typically makes the site slow. if anything, just condense them all into separate tabs so people can still find them. But the design update is very nice and hopefully a step into making the site better.

To the moderator - thank you for your reply.

I do not have that icon on any of my mobile devices. I’ll check my laptop, but, I’d very much like to have access to the icon/messages on my cell/iPad as they are primarily what I use.

Thank you.

(And - yes - I’ll email you the screenshot and info).

PS - well done on the new design!  Congratulations.

So fresh and so clean! Who knew a few minor tweaks could make such a big difference. Really nice.

I agree with this.

Also, I don't want to appear churlish, but has anything really changed other than the font size and no private message display? I'm not seeing anything cleaner or easier on the eyes.  Just a smaller font with all of the ads and videos still hanging around on the side.

Esther2, If you go to the upper right corner to the left of account, there is a little envelope symbol.  That is where mail is.  I assume if you get a pm, there will be a number on the symbol.

Thanks ArtMan.  I didn't even see that. Sometimes it just takes me longer...
