not a great "update". who we're the updates intended to benefit?

If it aint broke, don't fix it. It just looks clunky with a lot of empty space, it's like someone put it together with no testing by actual users.

I understood this was going to be optimised for mobiles. I expected it to become better on my tiny tablet. But the line length of posts now means the text becomes very small if adjusted to screen width.

I'll try my laptop in a minute and suspect that will be ok

I expect you will be disappointed.

Why are the Quick Links on the right of the page?  In the western world we read from left to right  It makes no sense.  AND... what is this awful font on the comment page?  Can I change it to a different default?

It's now missing forum board bookmarks at the bottom of the page. I have to scroll back to the top to go get out of the thread and go back to the board.

The ‘New’ or ‘x New’ is nothing like as obvious as the previous version 

whole thing seems unpleasant to read when using an iPad
 
When you’ve read to the bottom of a thread there’s no quick link to take you back to the sub forum, unlike previous version.
don’t suggest the back button as if it’s multiple pages of posts then you’ll be clicking ‘back’ to go back through the pages. 

Comments made on a cursory play with a couple of sub forums.

It's pretty awful on laptops too - just too much wasted space.

The Quick Links and Categories links in the header are on a hair trigger, the drop down comes up whenever you mouse over them (from, say, another tab or the back button in your browser)

It needs a small delay

Embedded images are too small

Horrible.
I was barely here anymore anyway but I suspect this will be the final nail in my MSE Coffin.

Who's idea was it for white on cream/magnolia, it's hurting me eyes.
Not environmentally friendly, all that extra white needs energy to view, multiply by the claimed 10m viewers and this is a disaster for the environment.
Where's the dark mode option, or at least normal mode!
