I tried it yesterday and today. It seems that searching using the date is not working now. There is an error message produced.

Still too much space wasted at the top of the page, with the old search, etc. items plonked on top of the new style.When I open a forum page I only see links to 3 posts; the rest of the page is wasted with guff.0

Hi can anyone help me. My husband has been furloughed and now his boss says all his unused holidays for this year will be taken away and if he wants a holiday he will have to do overtime to have it. My husband hasn’t used any of his holiday this year so is his boss allowed to do this0

Where is the button for the Classic (green) UI ?A couple of years ago, hundreds of us pointed out the ease of navigation from the many existing, helpful design details.MSE listened and we kept one of the most user-friendly Forums around.By contrast, the "new" look seems designed for mobile users, i.e. impaired navigation and less visible content.At "normal" zoom (100%) the top Menu Bar disappears. Navigation is less certain with lack of borders around each word/link to help aim.Text is grey and harder to read. What's wrong with black text ???There is wasted space everywhere - forcing more scrolling (i.e. work).(e.g. This input field inserts an extra, empty line-space. Why ?? )The "flat" look" (i.e. lack of shading around panels) loses any sense of heirarchy amongst areas of the page.New icons are flat, minimalist, mono-coloured (and infantile). Those lacking labels are mostly ambiguous or meaningless. I was going to ask why the formatting buttons had no labels ( a full second's hover for each label seems too long).Why invent a worse wheel ?Hopefully, there is no need to re-cap all the UI differences - as someone will point out the link to the Classic (green) interface that worked so well.Thanks very much
