One more thing I just found. Captions are not showing on my phone. I tried tapping the images too, that didn't help.

I scrolled further down and then found it - 'Active Discussions' section.KevinThe thing about the placement of active discussions is two fold.1) Most people enter the news site to read an article (direct link or otherwise). The placement means the active discussions are in the prime position when scrolling down, as opposed to scrolling out of view as soon as you move down the article.2) Any new people entering the news site (front of house) the first time need to be "exposed" to content, as in the news articles. Putting the forum discussion links right at the top of the fold view means they may never scroll down.Or something But yeah, having spent time on the beta site playing around, that worked out best overall.

I love the new site! Very clean looking and in keeping with modern "flat" design principles. Will test it later on my 4K TV.The larger image format will finally mean that Nathan's amazing renders get the screen space they deserve.Just one request, and I know this has been discussed before, but a "dark theme" would be excellent. YouTube has recently implemented one, and it is so much easier on the eye, especially at night (images attached). As a space site I think a dark theme would work well for us anyway.Great work!
