Since there's an overwhelming dislike of the new format is there any reason why MSE can't take note of the comments and revert to the previous version (or better still the version before that) ?

Without any response from MSE,  the whole thread becomes utterly pointless.

This. ▲▲▲▲▲

I've just struggled through '20 pages' (probably only about 6 pages on previous version) looking for positive comments about new format.

I only noticed a couple and think even they might have been same one quoted.

This, pretty please 🤞🤞🤞

Is there a reason why everything is in a teal blue colour?

Nothing stands out at all.

They have responded a few pages back. They said:

We want you to be aware that even though we're unable to respond to each post, we are reading all of the feedback in the thread. We're sure you'll appreciate that there is a lot of it to go through!

It's early days so I imagine they will be taking it all in and then deciding if they need to change anything.

Before it was changed last time you could hover over the posts and see the thread.  This was greatly missed in the last update.  Hoping you would have put that back this time round!?

This is a feature I'd also like to see return.

Especially with some of the thread titles that people use.

And whenever I click on the bell, I am told "You do not have any notifications yet", although I have a number of bookmarked threads carried over from the old format - but none of them appears under Notifications, whether or not there are new posts in them.

You can choose here whether or not you wish to be notified about replies to bookmarked threads: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/profile/preferences 

Thank you, but I have that set;  I always received notifications until the change of forum, and I still receive e-mails.  I just want to be able to access them from the top right-hand corner of the page the way I always used to, and the way it sounds as though everybody else still can!

I am not a fan a all. Been using this site for over 10 years and this is my least favourite update ever. It feels very....clunky. The report button needs moving away from the quote and compliment buttons.

Can someone explain why my favourite category:

Greenfingered MoneySaving

... has an image of someone knitting at the top?!

I'm an avid gardener but even I can't knit whilst weeding my vegetables! 😹

Good point @Black_Cat2 🤭
The boards inherit their banner from the category they sit under. But you're right that the Greenfingered MoneySaving should have its own custom banner. I've added a new image (a branch of 'Senegalia pennata'). Let me know what you think.

I normally spend a few hours a day on here but now find myself just not having the urge to visit any longer. I've given it a couple of days and I absolutely hate it. The absolute worst part is not having the forum index links at the bottom of each page. Scrolling back up to get to the forum index ruins the experience for me. I agree it's time to roll back the changes to the old version.
