Also, there's no "Thanks" button any more.

How do you report problems to MSE?


Looks like thanks has been replaced with comp-liment.
There is a snagging thread in site feedback for problems.

I hate the new forum. Its too.... big?
Light colours are hard for me to read at the best of times. Before they changed it my account was set to the old MSE forums.

Can we bring that back as an option?

You can get extensions for your browser to make it dark, ie for Firefox :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/darkify-pages/ 
For Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-mode/dmghijelimhndkbmpgbldicpogfkceaj?hl=en

Thank you! Thats sort of better, but now all the forum is merged into one dark void Which is also difficult to read lol!

Also it doesn't seem to be possible go straight to the latest post in a long thread. The only link provided is to the profile page of the last poster.

This is supposed to be an improvement?  

Going to the latest unseen post in a thread is supposed to be the default but it's a new forum so it counts a thread as unread until you have used it on the new forum it should pick it up after that (I have tried a couple and it does)

Don't know if it's just me but if I hover the mouse over a competition title it's no longer showing any further details, sometimes that would give enough extra info to decide to "skip" if I wasn't sure just from the title.

Don't think I have done this correctly, but it is related to the post regarding extensions for chrome to make the browser darker by Verksies and Sleepyjones
Does this extension make all of chrome darker or just the MSE forum?

Lot of issues, going to latest post on long thread, cannot mark skipped unless you go into each comp and as mjm states cannot hover over a post to see further detail

I just noticed that, that's going to be a pain if they don't bring it back!

I hate it I know they have said they will sort out any teething problems but considering they supposedly had forum testers from each area, who the hell tested from competitions and didn't flag up the skipping issue? It will take far too long to open each post
