Welcome to the new Forum!

Controversial but I like the new forum. It takes a bit of getting used to as a comper but as a regular poster of comps, it is much better. As an example if I cut and paste a paragraph from a page to the forum on my iPad and it contains a hyperlink, it now brings over the hyperlink whereas previously I had to manually add the link in. Also you can now see the headline in full when you post so if I need to add something to the end such as FB, I can do it now without having to cut and paste into the body of the post then cut and paste it into the headline.

Is there some theme option I am missing to pick a different theme? 
I realise its all personal preference but I find this default pretty unpleasant to look at.

I see this complaint coming up time and time again in the feedback tonight so it's not just me then...

Unable to locate the date of posts. Can see the time but not how old they are.
Example 1 I looked at on the house forum said "7th Feb edited 1st nov"
Also the date is only right at the top and quite small so very difficult to see if someone has resurrected an old thread.

Spacing in typing this is awful. But presume from peoples posts on hitting send it will bunch up.

Colours work for me. But there is s lot of scrolling as everything is huge and takes up a lot of space

Absolutely not, judging by what is mobile users are subjected to, this is the view on my phone:

Add nested quotes to that and it gets worse, far, far worse.

I don’t hate the new colour scheme (I was on the green one before as I really hated the blue) but am finding the forum pretty much unusable. (Bookmark drop down opening behind the welcome box renders it unusable, no times/dates on posts, everything is jumbled up with very old threads listed above new ones and everything takes way too long to scroll through.)
I’ll just dip out for a bit and check back again in a week or two, hopefully some of the glitches will have been resolved by then...

This is virtually unusable on mobile devices. There’s so much endless scrolling and wasted space. Please sort it out MSE.

I don't find it a problem on my phone at all, quite like it.  However, I've not tried on my tablet yet.

You can actually change the nesting to allow 1 - 5 of the posts showing in full. I discovered that last night.
