Wondered where the Pension Board had gone then!!!

Not sure i like these changes, for a horrible minute i thought the  Pension Board had been disbanded plus threads  won't open on my ipad.
Have a feeling we went through something like this before and it is just teething issues so maybe i will get used to it


Though will be completing the feedback form

Not sure i like these changes,

I definitely don't like them.

The pensions forum used to be right next to the savings forum on the list, so I was a bit disoriented to start with.

Odd logic to where some forums have been placed.  To detach Saving and Investments and Pensions is nonsensical. As are correlated topics.

There are a number of posts in the feedback section about how the financial products sections have been split up and put into other sections.  Basically fragmenting the old money forums all over the place.

To make things easier, I suggest you use the favourites option (favourite your regular sections and bookmark the favourites page on your browser).

Whilst I can see some logic in pensions belonging to the "Work" board, as Thrugelmir says, it would be better associated with Savings & Investments.

Maybe it is also time that Savings and Investments were split into two boards - Savings, and Investments. 

Edit: Comment added to feedback board

The UX is far worse, imho.  

Simple actions to go from one forum and then back and into another now take a number of more mouse clicks.

I appreciate this is a free forum and the owners can apply changes as they feel best suits them, which is why I am less concerned about the cosmetic changes, but it makes no sense to me to implement something which has become far more disjointed.  What was wrong with the prior incarnation?

This is what I have done but, the site owners are doing themselves a disservice because it means I will simply bookmark my MSE Favourites page on my devices and will no longer review other interesting snippets as they will no longer 'catch my eye'.

I don't like the changes either, especially since the width of the forum's posts is taking up a smaller share of the screen.

If I could collapse the left hand menu that would be helpful.  I read on a TV and it is weird only reading one side!

I also don't like the permanent bold on thread titles, it looks tacky, like when some people write their titles ALL IN  CAPS!

That is exactly it.  The number of times a topic caught my eye will now drop to zero as I won't be seeing them any more.
