New look Forum for non-logged in visitors

Don't like it at all, totally devoid of character.

It's very wasteful of space and generally horrible on IE9.

And it's no good asking me (in the message at the top) to upgrade my browser on a work PC where I have no control over which browser is installed (but which runs the old Forum perfectly well).

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

I guess it depends on your definition of OK. It certainly looks different to what it used to, and it has much more white space, but I can still navigate everything well enough.

Must admit I don't know how up to date my browser is, I guess it might be different to others'.

Too much vertical space in search listings.

The height needs to be reduced and the Forum: element put back in it's own column where it should be, rather than shoving it under the latest posts info.

Or they can just put things back the way the users want it?

And start the redesign again from scratch?

Quite agree - it's awful

The sign up to the money saving email thing that I keep closing is quite annoying

If I was a new visitor to the forums I'd get fed up of that layout pretty quick and never return. Too much effort to see the threads I want.

I'm stuck with IE8 at work and it looked awful, way too much white space between posts.

Good way to ditch visitors though.

Thank goodness - I have just logged in and things look normal.

New format is awful - I thought there was something wrong with my browser at first!
