Awful format for this forum

I have no intention of continuing to use such a cumbersome, inferior and non-user friendly format as the one now here.

On the day I apparently become a "Fantastically Fervant MoneySaving Super Fan" (whatever that may be) and to the joy of some and (possibly) the disappointment of others I will therefore no longer use it.

Great shame; as expected the negative feedback ahead of the change was ignored and we have ended up with an even worse result.

Well done, MSE.

    Seems OK to me

    Thread displayed at full screen width on tablet, which is an improvement from having blank space at right, and having to zoom in

    Line spacing while writing the post could do with tuning, as it looks double spaced until posted

  • It’s awful to view on a mobile phone, still it’s only a mobile forum, so it doesn’t matter.

    The more you use it the worse it feels. Leaving a longish reply with a quote is really clumsy.

    Also, it seems clicking desktop version does absolutely nothing...

    OK, it's just buggy, in Safari I can only get the mobile version which is a pile of sh**te with the Fisher Price built for an 8 year old look. Changing to Edge and it isn't that bad, in desktop mode it's a lot better looking.

    It seems really buggy, ie. click to go to a forum and the page just reloads, click again the page loads. 
    Also, lots of scrolling due to page elements being unnecessarily large.
    I know design is subjective but I don't like it, it gets in the way of using the forum and introduces frustration

    I think they did the best they could. There will always be those that complain or don't like it and yes it will take getting used too but so does everything new. Personally I think it looks ok and is more like the old green style than the previously new blue.

    Omg I hate it!  :( Have been using these forums for 14 years, so why, all of a sudden am I getting emails, every time a thread I've subscribed to gets a reply? How do I stop this ?
