Why does literally half the width of my screen consist of empty space?

If you don't want feedback I suggest you close this thread - that's TWO of my posts you've nuked. 🙄

Hi @NaughtiusMaximus,

If this looks like a broken layout could you send a screenshot to ForumTeam@MoneySavingExpert.com with details of your device, operating system or browser.

We can then check to see if we can reproduce the issues you're having.

Thanks,

Ben

The left hand quarter of the new forum is a waste of space. If I am taking part in a discussion, that's all I want to see. I don't want to see a short list of other forums, and then a vast amount of wasted space that takes up a quarter of the page being viewed.
Once you are past the second post, the grey wasteland is all you see.

One of the problems with the last iteration was the loss of post numbers. This makes it extremely difficult to direct a poster back to a specific post, especially when some discussions can be dozens of pages long.
I see the new version still doesn't have post numbers.

I am sorry but I fail to see how the changes can be considered an improvement in any shape or form please return it to its original layout

This caused a few problems when posts were removed by the author or by the Forum team and suddenly 'Reply 13' was now 'Reply 11', for example. We are looking at how we can improve on this without having to rely on numbering, though.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's a complete and utter waste of time ... I've read previous posts where people posted about the change to the new forum (from the old "green" board you used to have) and almost all suggestions were completely ignored. I don't expect this feedback process will be any different. 🙄

Thread titles on the board overview are too small. Does MSE have shares in magnifying glasses? 

Thanks for sharing this feedback. We're working to see if we can make this happen, leave it with us.

And we can reassure you, sadly we don't have shares in anything! 

Many thanks

MSE Laura
