The automatically appearing quick links/categories drop down menu is a bit annoying at the moment -would be nice to switch that to 'click to appear'. It swooshes down when you get your mouse too close to it and fills up most of the screen. Fancy yes. Practical no.

I’m using this on mobile and have to admit that I don’t find it that bad… it’s different and different things are always hard to get used to but I suspect I might get there in the end. I agree though that everything seems to be a bit spaced out and putting everything in separate boxes makes it seem very disjointed.

I don't like the pale colours. It's very straining on the eyes..I often like to browse in the evening and the white just isn't relaxing at all. Ifs making my brain work harder to try and work out what has been written.

Thank you, I couldn't find the words for what was missing but that, I really miss that.

I can't be bothered to read the pages of complaints so apologies if this has been mentioned.
Could the 'Mark all read' facility please be reinstated....Otherwise, I don't find it a bad change, just different.

The new skin is very light.

It's awful !!!!!!

In the past we've been given a chance to stick with previous versions;  why not this time ?

Notifications Problem (possibly also messages)

The notifications that I had set previously are working OK, and I can access them through the Bell icon or through my profile, but how do I know there are new notifications that I need to look at? On the old forum, if the icon had a little figure "2" on it, this meant I had received 2 new notifications that I needed to look at. On opening notifications the "2" would then disappear. Without something like this you have to keep opening notifications to see if you have received any. Please can this be investigated - and I am guessing the same applies to the messages "envelope" icon.

It's there when you click on your little bell - but it doesn't seem to work.

Not only is the "Mark all as read" function missing, but even marking an individual board as read has a weird and buggy behaviour.

The only place you can find the option to mark a board as read is on the "All Boards" list.  So you pick a board, click on the "..." thing and select "Mark Read".  At that point the forum takes you into the category of boards that the board you've just marked is in.  Why?  You have to immediately click the browser's Back button to go back to the list to do the next board.

If you have a list of boards in "Followed Content" (the old favourites), then that does not have the option to mark as read, only to unfollow.  You have to go to the full list, and hunt down that for the boards you have read.
