You're not missing much.

Although they have resurrected that board (f=268) as of yesterday, they seem to have deleted the large number of threads and posts in which helpful people pointed out the many, many bugs (as well as the lousy design).
Very little notice seems to have been taken of those comments.
Many of the bugs are still there, as is the lousy design.

Do they seriously expect people to go through the exercise again?

Agree 100% and it's a very poor use of screen real estate with tiny fonts and acres of wasted space.

That works.

I get the impression the new site is supposed to be more "mobile friendly", but me personally I hate when websites do this, it NEVER works properly and you ALWAYS lose useful functionality.

I was on a website yesterday "Oakley" (the sunglasses) it forced me onto the mobile site, would not let me view the desktop version and then asked me to select my country/location, only the list was missing "United Kingdom" or "England" or "Great Britain".

AND, what genius designs a mobile website using Flash, which doesn't work on the vast majority of mobile devices because Adobe withdrew support?
I mean I have Flash installed on mine, but i've found some Flash based mobile websites which just do not work.



If it works, then don't **** with it.

There's a 'new look' forum? That one must have passed me by. I consider myself blessed.

I was one of the ones subjected to the new version before, and again just recently. I managed 5 mins before I had a headache and switched back.
I am all for updating the look and making it mobile friendly etc but really from the feedback that I have seen a lot of people really struggle when looking at the new design.

Yes, too much white, also I have trouble with the grey font on white background.
For example, when revisiting a thread and wanting to pick up on the third page.
When returning to a forum I'm finding it difficult to quickly pick the point where I left off because dates are also grey on white.

The main site is bearable, for me it's just the forums.

Hideous design, hideous white spaces, hideous font sizes. For a moment I thought I was on a forum for clowns.
