New Forum layout problems / bugs / How Do I?

I agree. I use mobile on IOS. My main pain points are:
1. Text way too big - takes too long to scan through posts : have to change pages more frequently
2. When loading a new page of results, you have to scroll past all the top-level forum gumph and other thread details before getting to results list 
3. I want to be able to sort by end date
4. I want to see post content straightaway when I tap into a post - currently I have to scroll past all the top level forum gumph every time before getting to the post content.
5. I want to be able to mark posts as skipped without having to tap into them
6. I want to be able to mark posts as entered without having to tap into them
7. I want to tap a “My bookmarks” link on mobile to view all the posts I bookmarked to enter later (currently have to go to url - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussions/bookmarked )
8. I’d like to be able to sort bookmarked posts by end date

Well what a mess this board is now - whose idea was it? Dreadful to read and navigate

I think we should set up a support group for all of us traumatized by the new layout.

I agree - why is the text on my phone so huge?!

They've completely ruined the forum. 

I can't see how to skip quickly to another page
i can't see what I have entered and what I haven't unless I go into a thread
there is too much other stuff in the page
Are they going to address any of our concerns?!

I can't see how to make links clickable, see attached post

@cornishpasty1 @MSE_Ben_H I've managed the email link in that thread via "Toggle HTML view" button </>

Seriously it's not ideal so I've mentioned it in the snagging discussion. I guess for security it's not so easy for **reasons**

To achieve the same:

1. Edit your new discussion via https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/post/discussion/competitions-time (bookmark this if you create new posts regularly)
2. Where an email link might be test@test.com
3. Select the "Toggle HTML view / </>" button
4. Wrap the email link in the correct HTML code. And using this test email example:

<a href="mailto:test@test.com">Test email link</a>

Which would achieve this: Test email link

NOTE: this is not at all easy and the HTML editor seems to enforce certain behaviour thus breaking my attempt at explaining here several times. This is why I've tagged Ben

Ok..... posted this elsewhere but just seen this thread..... About why we cant hover over thread title and size of page

Why can't we hover over title of comp anymore I can't be bothered clicking on every new thread to see if I want to enter it.  Everything is to big too... i want my green page back that fitted a lot more comps on each page.. all too bright and in my face... hopefully a fix will sort it soon.  Also I changed it to mobile view and can't remember how and want to put it back to desktop... Help please haha

Is there a settings option where i can change things?
