I use the Shades of Blue theme to view this site and am noticing some differences between its behavior on mobile devices vs. my desktop computer browser.

Since the update, the lightning bolt on the mobile skin takes me to the New Activity page rather than to New Posts as it used to. When visible, the New Posts button still works as it did before, and as expected. Only the lighting bolt has changed.

On my desktop computer, there's now a narrow bright blue border around the text editing area when I'm creating or editing a post, but no such border is shown when I'm on my mobile devices.

Does anyone else see similar behaviors ans differences?
 
Yes, there's a few differences from before (I use the desktop shades of blue), but I'll get used to them.

No narrow bright blue border on my when creating or editing....

(here's me editing this post...)

Also using Firefox with "system theme - auto"

Is it just me or do others think that there has been changes to the clarity/sharpness of text since the latest upgrade. I find colors richer and text sharper. It almost looks like the resolution has been increased. @Mellow , am i imagining this?

EDIT: just noticed that I "linked" to Mellow, but the link didnt turn blue... not sure if this is working

At least in the Shades of Blue theme, the "@" links to members were shown as bold white text, not blue. That appears to still be true. Can't speak to what they looked like in the default / light theme.

I was referring to @ibike2havefun 's comment: "On my desktop computer, there's now a narrow bright blue border around the text editing area when I'm creating or editing a post, but no such border is shown when I'm on my mobile devices."

The blues (links) certainly pop now!

Honestly, I'm not complaining about any of it.
Anything that's different I'll get used to.
I expect things to be different with updates, some get better and some make you think "what was the developer thinking?"
I'll only "complain" if something is broken.
Thanks again Joe for all you do.
