@Benjamindarko @Jaistrup @feditips the layout is mint! tons better than manbaby's place. functions are pretty self-explanatory if you keep the preferences, and notifications columns pinned on the page
@roy_t_334 @Benjamindarko @feditips thanks just sorting my settings now!

@Jaistrup @roy_t_334 @Benjamindarko

Just to make clear, the layout in roy's attachment is the advanced mode.

By default, people will see the single column mode. If you want the multicolumn advanced mode, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click Save Changes.

apologies! i forgot to mention that.

i'm also on a desktop rig, not a tablet or phone. and have tons of extra screen space

@roy_t_334 @Jaistrup @Benjamindarko

Yeah, advanced is great for people with large screens :)
