a very important gripe to me is the glaring white background. My monitor is colour calibrated for photography on a regular basis and I find the new colour to be extremely tiring on my failing eyesight. If it changes to this permanently, I will cease to use the site.
Developers, please mute it down a bit?

IIRC, this IS the muted down version.

No offense to the MSE forum team, but.... what's going on here ?

Have to agree with the general consensus. It really is a bad design. Way too much white space with a washed out colour palette makes it hard to actually make sense of any form/structure. I actually tried reloading the page a few times because I thought it had got "stuck" before I realised it was purposefully so spread-out.

Seems to epitomise style over substance, and change for changes sake. Why put hurdles in the way of casual browsing?

I went to MSE on the phone, it looked terrible.. wasn't easy to find what I was looking for on a certain thread. When I logged in the website went back to looking "normal"

twitter, flickr etc have refurbed too, and suffered.

Im guessing the designers who did this obviously arent very good or they would be making a fortune from huge blue chip companies etc..

They should sack them and save the money or donate it to british charities.
(from a few folk who ive spoken to in the last few days the whole site is slower to load aswell, poor poor formatting)

It's fairly standard practice on most forums.

I agree,thank goodness it's back to normal,I hope they don't keep that other look,too much White,then an insipid Peach colour,I felt like my eyes were straining to read everything.

It all just seemed to merge into one
