    So I am discovering an "issue" that maybe the folks in charge were not aware of. Forgive my lack of technical terminology...

    I am using a Macbook Pro.

    I am on the forecast page in another window. When I want the "tool bar" at the top that says "surf crew, forecast, cams + reports" etc., I have to two-finger scroll up for it to appear. It goes away as soon as I stop two-finger scrolling.

    I then have to hover over what I thought was the right section, for example "Forum", and then re-two-finger scroll over it. Then have to use a third finger or another hand.

    If I were to try to use "Forecast", the drop down menus ("North America", "Mid Atlantic", "Belmar") are inaccessible... because I have two fingers holding down the Forecast button.

    This whole thing sounds like an innuendo.

    "This is the worst thing to happen in America. It goes this, then slavery, then Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined."

    On iPad, can be on the last page of a thread, trying to log in to post from the bar up top takes you out to the general forum page. Meaning you have to go back into the thread to post.

    This could be an official, unofficial Debug thread. (Aka the whiny techno weenie thread)

    Dear Mr SwellinfoGuy,

    I do like the new format. It's nice and some of the add ons are sweet too!

    I have also noticed a few problems while using my iphone 8, of which I thought might be resolved if there was an actual 'mobile' site- kinda like this page where you only can scroll up and down and you can't zoom since there is no need to... Maybe this would help for just the forum. Just my thoughts...

    Thanks as always for all that you do- this is the best surf forecasting site by far!

    Your pal
    Mr Belmar
