Nav menu includes 'my threads' and 'my replies' and 'my drafts' - why waste headings for those - I'm using the forum to look at what others have written, not to admire my own work! 

It's worth saying that with the previous design we regularly heard from people that it was too difficult to track down a thread they had previously started or participated in.

No plans to add forum index links to the bottom of each page? This is a game changer for me.

Font size and line height in posts - Adjustments have been made to these to make posts more readable.

I wish you hadn't adjusted the font size though, for me, it was the only plus side .  Now, the font and spacing just looks squashed together and the squashed appearance makes it too hard for me.  Again, I can only ask, please will you involve people with visual issues when you make any changes to the Forum.

Can you not change the font size on your device or in your browser ? it works for me on MacBook and Safari

Font is still too big...

Massive font...

It is not too big for those without good vision.  Please don't reduce font size any further.  I already have to increase zoom level on browser and again since latest change.

Can certainly see the improvements, thank you.  It's not quite there yet, but a lot better.  Not giving me a headache and it is easier to use the boards - still not as easy as the old forum, but less mental and visual strain anyway. 
The decluttering of thread titles/links is much appreciated.

As a bug report, I can't see what's under 'spoiler' codes either, using Chrome on Android.

Thank you @MikeJXE, I already do this, and have had to increase again since change, and the text still looks all squashed up.

As a GUI designer (XWindows/Motif) going back to the 1980s (would you believe it) ... I like it ... threads, posts (colours, point size, headings) ... I can certainly live with this.

I withdraw my criticisms of the right hand side of the page, it's not a distraction, the post box itself is good and the changed background colours make a world of difference.

Of course we shouldn't look a gift horse ... it's just that for many of us, although we don't own it, it is our forum.

Absolutely - and on the Forum Team we recognise that the passion everyone has for the Forum - built up over 20 years - is priceless, which is why we all do our best to keep things running as well as possible.

I don't think many of us did, but don't like it exchanged for a donkey.

I see we have links to ‘new threads’ in a couple of places but you have to go to ‘new threads’ then find the drop down menu to select ‘new comments’  

Can we have an easier way to get to ‘new comments’ please especially as ‘new comments’ also includes new threads?
