More of an FYI than a bug report, because I think it has more to do with my IT department than your end. Recently when I start the new web player, it won't play the main mix until I hit the button to sync to the stream. I can change channels and they play fine. Just some weird little glitch when starting up.
For non-phone screen widths, can the artist page and other "your-rating vs community-rating" list pages set the numbers side by side, so that they fall in two columns? That was a thing I really liked about the other Beta site.
A literally small thing, I have the slideshow going on a 4K monitor on my work computer and when I hover over the rating <3 in the song info popup it shows my rating in a really, really, really, tiny font.
This graphic is 800 px and I wanted it to be smaller so I went to the old site so I can type in a dimension (175 px high), but it was all for naught. New site ignores that and scales it to 500 or whatever.
I like how I can go to the song info, noodle around for a while, and when I click the logo/home, it takes me right back here or wherever I was when I went to look at the song.
When I'm looking at the song, and decide to check out a song that's earlier in the playlist, when I hover over a song, it "lights up," but if I click in the gray box, it doesn't load that song info (screenshot of what I mean is here)... have to click the album art or song title, etc. Which is fine and makes sense except for that "lighting up" bit when the mouse is near... makes me think I don't have to expend the effort to move the mouse 1/2" more to the left. Such a burden.
Burden has been eased!
We live for these moments.

RAFT topics arent automatically updating; need to reload the page? (in chrome)

In the old site, if we are the creator of a Topic, we can edit the title of that topic by editing our original post or any post we've made in that topic. No Can Do in the new site. Not crucial but it's sometimes our best way to tidy up.
FWW, I usually listen to music on the new site in one window and read the fora on a tab in another window.
Me too, but if I close all the windows/tabs just to get them out of my way, the minimized RP window is still going. Mac, Chrome, by the way. So I close windows, go to email or some other app, then click to come back to the Chrome app, the minimized window flies open. I need to immediately re-minimize that and open a new window. It's all too confusing and I wind up closing the one I want to never close.
The Lockit extension is working well. It locks tabs based on URL, so now I'm home and I can see that RP is locked here, too. It's doing exactly what I want, so hey.
So I have RP playing in another Chrome window, and it's minimized. To avoid the risk of surfing off and accidentally closing the music window, if I check RP during the day, I try to remember to open a new window. So I'm in that 2nd window, want to look at song comments for what's playing... if I click on the bar at the bottom of this 2nd window, it pops up with the playlist off to the left, but "Welcome to Radio Paradise" in the main frame. I could have gone to the "music" tab instead and chosen "now playing," right? but once I've clicked the song title, I have to back out or click to view the full website then music/now playing.
Yeah, I'm an outlier, but that seems like it might be not the preferred behavior.

I'll give that some thought. But the whole system really isn't designed to live in multiple windows or tabs.
I revisited the Chrome store; earlier searches only turned up extensions that would prevent closing Chrome itself. LockIt lets me put up a "really?" box for the RP window so I don't have to minimize it. So I'll stop complaining now.

Trying to force the new system into your old model will probably always have some frustrating moments.

It's only in certain threads too. Must be a line length thing somewhere.
It seems to be in threads with large portions of articles pasted in, perhaps with their formatting intact instead of pasted as "plain text". I'm using Chrome on a PC and see the cut-off right side in the "Mental Health" thread. Perhaps the long "Slate" pasted URL is making it happen if it's being read as one word.
still getting a lot of test off to the right of the screen on mobile. Better when in landscape, but still there. I am using a Samsung galaxy s9 and the edge view may contribute, but it works fine for some threads.
I have an S7 Edge & get that also. Don't see it on any of my other test phones. We'll sort it out.
