    Personally, I don't like it and will be changing back to the old style. I don't like the large amount of white space and the green colour is awful and I don't like the big blue buttons :( Sorry.

    I can see why people do like it and don't like it though so it could just be a bit of give and take. Maybe have a poll to see which bits are more popular and which bits are not so popular and then take it from there.

    Personally I spend most of my spare time using MSE and can't say I'd be using it as much if the change is permanent. But that's just my opinion :D

    Sorry guys, I know you have all worked really hard on it, but its just not for me...

    I really don't like it. I could put up with the green, but it is far, far, too slow.
    You will lose lots of users if the speed doesn't improve.

    Another "don't like the changes" person here, way too slow (it has taken an hour to read seven pages) and in the reply section all the smilies have been covered by adverts.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Still slow, slow, slow, and like Landy, I would prefer the 'who's thanked you' in the drop down username options, as it's a speedy option to return to a thread where you left it.

    The green is fine, the larger icons at the bottom of posts an improvement and the unthank button is good for those awful errors when you thank a twonk.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    This is going very slow for me now too.

    I've actually switched back for now (nice to be able to do so) as I'm 2 days behind with my comps & I just can't be doing with slow right now.

    I'm loving the new look. It looks very clean and fresh. I can't say that I find it slow either, maybe I have joined the conversation later than most and it that bug has been fixed but it is still superfast for me.

    Most people don't like change. Everyone had a moan when facebook changed it style but most have got used to it and most people will get used to this new style too if they give it a chance.

    Seems faster for me at work. Does this version have a smaller footprint for downloading on the phone?

    Is the site being readied for the Apple iPad? The button size/colour etc. looks designed to be rendered on iPad Safari brower.

    It's still too slow so work still needs to be done.

    Waaaaay too slow, which ruins the perception of anything else. Some of us live in the country where faster braodband isn't an option, and if it stays this slow then I will have to regretfully stop using the site.
