    Have just logged on from my mobile, having been on desktop before. And the same prime niggle that I had before is still here: I can't easily get to post#1 of a thread from a mobile if a thread is, say, 15 pages long. Sometimes you want to look back at the OP, and that's always been difficult from a mobile. It still is.

    Apologies for all the negativity, but seriously - you asked for feedback and I hope it's all constructive.

    I have made it a bit more useable on the laptop by zooming to 120% which gets rid of the right hand side bar, puts it at the bottom. Scrolling is better as well.  It also does not seem so bright like that, the font is a bit large though but much more useable.  The font is pretty awful, just seems to disappear into the background..

    It is a lot lot LOT worse on a mobile device than a desktop wih a monitor

    The screen is blinding white on a mobile, with acres of space and it takes a long time to scroll down the home page. You don't take it in because your eyes start to hurt

    Have tried on a desktop monitor and it is better. I suspect this is where it was developed and tested.

    Not liking the new layout at all.  What I'm finding annoying is when you move the cursor to the green bar at the top, even by accident, the whole menu pops out and takes over the entire page and it takes ages to disappear.  And search in comps is STILL not working properly.
    I ended up using an ad-blocker to get rid of the whole section (Quick Links to Help) as it was annoying me so much.
    Just done the same, thanks for the tip.

    Is there any way to adjust the text sizes? For some reason replies are shown in a much larger text size than the original post.

    Also any way to compress the whole layout? Title banners and areas of blank space now occupy the majority of the screen, with most of the actual content scrolled off the bottom.

    I have just read all of the 16 pages and notice it's mostly negative comments

    Also noticed none of them are from usual latest post board users or for that fact the usual posters on any of the  the top boards 

    I wonder why that is ?

    Using it more is not helping.
    The Closed and Announcement are glaring being highlighted in a darkish blue and that's what you see more than the title of the threads.

    I also can't see which threads are new. The rest of the stuff is just too distracting from the titles of the threads and what you need to know.

    Name and time of post is most important. Should be at the top.
    If it's a new thread then next below
    Posts and badges bottom or alongside in ligher font.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    That's not correct.  I am a regular, and have recognised a good number of forumites, and noticed many others have high post numbers.
