Poll : What do you think of the NEW LOOK MSE

stugib

Is anyone else getting their antivirus pop up on the new forum? Pretty much every page of every thread I go to I get this from Kaspersky:

Over-cautious AV or something hiding in the new forum?

I like the new layout except for one feature. I keep accidently hitting the "Thank you" button when scrolling on the mobile site. This needs to be fixed.

So much wasted space, it's a strain to read the new site with so much gap between topics, text, etc.

That is a very poor aspect of the new design. Endless and unnecessary scrolling in a desktop browser at least.

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

I couldn't find anything with the new format. I hope it is gone.

It seems like the edit post feature on the mobile forum doesn't work - I press the button but nothing happens.

Things could get missed on this thread, so...

I voted in favour of the new look, but in hindsight, I'm of the opinion that I might have been wrong. It is my intention to revert back.

In the words of the poet, "whoflippinray"! I'm out. You have no idea how good it feels to be back "in the old days". It's true there is something slightly different and can't put my finger on it, but to have the old layout back is worth every penny and as a moneysaver, that suits me fine.

PS, thanks for giving us the option to revert and stay back. When hotukdeals changed for changing sake, they haven't allowed us to go back, consequently many users have now gone.

Is the "something slightly different" an excess of white space down the sides, or a slightly different hue/brightness to the screen?
If so, tweaking the forum 'skin' might be of some benefit.
