Welcome to the new Forum look – give us your feedback

Dislikes:
*No option to return to Board at bottom of page, means having to scroll back to the top everything.
*No option to post a comment at the top of a page, means having to scroll down to find that option.
*Lack of contrast with grey font.

Like:
*Prefer this for reading on my phone, although the font size is a little large - can this be altered?

When I click the bell icon to see my notifications and then click "mark all read" it doesn't do anything. Is this a bug? Is there another way of marking notifications as read so they no longer appear in this list?

I clicked on link from forum home page which said there was a feedback survey to complete. Instead it links to this thread. Can the link be corrected?

That's how I ended up here... someone doesn't know what someone else has written!

Sorry it is less than friendly for me. Bring back the old look.

It would be very interesting to hear how much user feedback MSE garnered before commissioning this 'upgrade'.

It appears that all the 'negative' comments posted before the upgrade were justified.

I've found the forum less busy for quite a while than it use to be
I can only see it going further that way.

I don't like it. I preferred the previous design.

It does seem that the new design was made by someone that doesn't regularly use such boards

Think that's a big part of the problem. The designers have no idea how we posters use the forum, thinking we need something pretty & stylish rather than functional.

There is a tiny one line "leave a comment" box at the bottom!

No problem with the new design as such, although I’ve only looked on my phone not on my laptop.

But can we have the most latest threads button back at the top and somewhere obvious? Took me ages to find it scrolling right down to the bottom of the list of words. Many of us use the forum, by just seeing what’s been posted rather than going to specific boards.

I’ll be back to comment on the search function when I’ve had chance to use it.

PS, the draft button is too close to the post comment  button. I keep saving drafts instead of posting.
