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.

You can always zoom in on the browser, mine is at 125%.

In the followed content list each board listed shows the last comment posted there but not the day or time, meaning I have to go to each board to see if there are new comments since I last looked.
It would be really helpful if the date/ time could be reinstated.
The boards are also really spread out down the page, meaning I have to scroll a lot.

And please can we lose the red button and white cross on the mobile - it covers up everything I write, resulting in even more scrolling.

Many thanks for changing this kind of thing (highlighted) that was beyond bad:

This is miles better:

Even looks a bit stylish and as though it might have been done by a professional!

Agreed.
Better  still to move timestamp so all on one line.
This would cut down post size,  so less scrolling would be needed.

No, it needs the thread title to be on its own line (as it in the screenshot) otherwise it's more difficult to skim again.

And how do we delete drafts made by accident?

There should be an X next to any drafts on this page:

Some are saying they have thousands, deleting 30, 1 by 1 was a pain, the needs to be a select all, delete option.

Easier to read now and back to top button good.
Not getting any notifications at all now. Bookmarks are showing different to what I actually do have bookmarked and if I remove one it jumps up from 27 to 29 I have 24 bookmarked.
Still nowhere to check if skimlinks is on or off for us compers. It seems to have disappeared completely which could cause problems if websites don't like people entering from competitions sites and it tracks back to mse.
Report button still not in a good place. Right next to the compliment/thanks button. Us compers use the compliment button a lot and could end up reporting instead of complimenting.

This is the screen of a 17" laptop. What an absolute waste of screen space.

Somewhere back in the thread it was stated that it automatically adjusts for desktops and mobile devices. It most certainly hasn't adjusted in this example.

The cleaning up of thread lists and colour tweaks are much better thanks - big improvement visually.  At least for me - but the presentation of it didn't seem to affect or trouble me as much as it does others.

I, as others have commented, would prefer the 'Report' link below posts to be distanced from the 'Quote' and 'Thanks' links - preferably at opposite sides, as they're just too close together and mistakes will be made - especially on a tablet where they're each smaller than my finger end.

The notification bell at the top right is still working strangely - it keeps changing behaviour, so presumably it's being worked on.  At the moment mine shows a red circle with a white 1, indicating one new post on a followed thread.  Clicking on it, the top entry in the list is that there are 190 new posts in this thread, but as I looked at it recently, I expect it's only actually a handful at most - probably the one indicated.  So clicking on it takes me back to page 30 of this thread - presumably 190 posts back.

The 'Quick Links' mouseover drop down menu at the top works well on a computer, if you hold your mouse over it, it stays in place and you can select what you want.  But I'm not finding it works like that on a tablet - it drops down, but whatever menu item I try and tap on, it takes me to the forum home.  As the displayed version of the forum is quite different on my computer and tablet and I use both about equally here, I'm trying to find a system that I can use on both devices to be consistent - but at present, I'm having to use them differently, which is tripping me up a bit.  On the previous version, I just got a smaller version of the same on my tablet, so they were interchangeable.
