I think some of the changes are moves in the right direction, but there is certainly room for improvement. The two tone design, especially the dark brown causes a number of issues, mostly with text. Here are some mobile screenshots from my Android phone using chrome that show the issues:
The drop down menu should absolutely have an easy link to the message boards. But it unfortunately doesn't yet.
.
My mobile experience involves too much scrolling in my opinion, especially in the message boards. The type is large and easy to read, but too much so on mobile. And there is a ton of wasted space on every post, between posts, and especially with quotes.
Something to distinguish senior members from new members would be nice, a post count maybe? Most forums incorporate something like this.
Lastly, in the forums, it would be awesome if there were easy links to member's photo galleries and trip reports when you click on someone's name and go to their profile. It would also be great for easy access to your own information. Please add this!

Recommendation on date formatting to reduce the forum listing/thread listings. 
Option 1 date format uses: Today, 7:27 AM; Yesterday, 8:42 PM; then date format like Tuesday, 7/19/16 4:22 PM
Option 2 date format uses: 24 mins ago; 1hr ago; 2 hrs ago; 1 day ago; 2 days; 17 days
Option 3 date format uses: existing format
Additionally, removing the Enter button (as users can click on the forum name to enter) provides space for the date where the existing Enter button is. You can remove the words 'Last Post' by making it a header at the top of the current Enter column, which means only the date/time of last activity needs to be listed.
I'm willing to help if necessary.

quote Michwall2: "Maps - Whole Lakes are not appearing in blue. e.g. Cross Bay. This happens on both my computer and my phone. It happens in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
Here is a screenshot from my phone.
"
Cross Bay Lake is still MIA from the Maps page; just tried to view it on PC using Chrome.

This message has had HTML content edited out of it.
Not sure if it's been reported already or not, but I've started to see a few threads where somebody does something, then all of a sudden all the text in the post below is in italics. Some how some tag isn't getting in there. Here is a link to such a thread - look down about half way and you can see it starts with Frenchy19's post - there is some sort of hated box like a quote box then no more standard black text anywhere.... SAMPLE OF ITALICS THREAD
