Poll : What do you think of the NEW LOOK MSE

Biggles

I haven't stayed on it long enough to be upset by the, admittedly rather bright white, colour scheme. For me it's just unusable because it only uses half the width of a PC monitor, resulting in continual scrolling. Ridiculous.

Any help or advice for those of us who can't revert to the old style, even though we are following the instructions? Is it a iOS problem?

How do you find the "new posts" option? I like browsing what's happening on the forum right now and I can't find it in the new format.

Thanks

Agreed. Also I don't like the way the only place a poster's name appears is at the right hand side now. I got used to seeing who had posted by the Thanks line "The following user/s thank ****** for this useful post". It means much more scrolling from side to side when viewing on a phone.

Also you can't see who is online now, from the green spot. Sorry if these points have already been made, I'm new to the thread and it's too long to catch up on.

Well, that's against the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) page design guidelines (yes, they're just guidelines, but pretty much all web designers follow them).

I suggested that this message should be the 'Post of the Month' - my suggestion was deleted.

Very democratic!

Must say the poll is rather closer than I thought it would be.:rotfl:

Do they care at all that everyone hates it? It may be less ugly but we care about functionality.

Just discovered the new layout, find it so difficult to read. So much wasted space on the page. Sorry but will give a miss.

But you're a new user, Wendy.
Just the type of person, without the ingrained habits of the old layout, who should be loving the new layout. :think:
Surely MSE Towers can't be wrong about that ...

ETA: Hang on ...
As a new user, you don't get the choice to "give it a miss".
Do you?
