New look Forum for non-logged in visitors

it just took me ages to find where to log in!

is the design something to do with windows 8? sites like digital spy etc have moved towards a more 'blocky' appearance with lots of white space ...

Absolutely awful (I'm using IE)! Seventy five percent of the screen is white space. With all the info spread out on the left hand side only, you can only see one or two boards on the forum / threads on a board / posts on a thread at any one time on the screen. Far too much space is taken up with the users avatars , ratings etc - what they are actually posting is almost impossible to find. Took me an ahe to find out how to log on to get rid of it.

Much prefer the existing format. I'd go so far as to say that for me the new one is so bad that it will stop me using the boards altogether.

Looks OK on Chrome. More white space than we might be used to, but that just take some getting used to. I think I prefer this to the old version.

Terrible formatting on IE though and I imagine most people use IE, so it'll be disruptive for many.

No it doesn't.

Still no "remember me" tick box for the login.

It didn't save my password and I couldn't remember it! Had to go through the rigmarole of changing it!

Awful new layout, I hate it!

I don't like it, not sure if it's because i'm used to the old wide format that I still use today or simply because it just looks horrible.

I have it on Chrome and it looks anything but okay to me.

Sorry but I don't like it either - far too much white space and too spread out. Very hard to find your way around - not a fan at all.

I've been away for a fortnight on holiday, just returned to the forum today. OMG, it's AWFUL!! I thought I'd come to the wrong site! :eek::(

OK, maybe I'm too old to readily embrace change, but.... whatever else you do, Site Admin, PLEASE give us back the Remember Me function; I always stay logged in unless I'm going to be away for a while (ie a week or more), keeping a tab open on both the threads I regularly contribute to, and I'll find it a real nause not to have them there ready for me to just read and reply when I fire up Firefox; so much so, that I'll be reluctant to bother at all, if I'm honest.:(

I completely agree. It's horrendous!

I agree, definitely prefer the old layout!
