It may be better on mobile devices, but it's horrible to navigate on a laptop.

All Pictures are tiny. This needs correcting ASAP.

This includes previously posted pictures and also newly posted pics.
I would have used screenshots to illustrate this but they are tiny as well.
Pictures Show OK while using the editor but after posting they appear like the one below (which should fill the space allowed)

Really surprised about the move to a low constrast and washed out colour scheme. The layout is now bloated with whitespace whereas the old forum was compact. I'm aready scrolling way more than I did before. The number of unread/new posts in the forum was a great asset before but now it appears hidden in the summary in the same colour as the rest of the forum. The old forum wasn't actually broken so why the need to fix it?

Why are the embedded images so tiny, how can I view them??

The first two immediate things to come to mind:

1. Was hiding members post counts intentional?

2. As someone who works within graphics design, I can't help but find the number of different fonts used across the site quite distracting - for example, why is the text box  font and size different to the comments?

It does look cleaner though, which I'm a fan of.

I cant find the <view latest posts> button any more.....? 

UPdate...ive found a <latest threads> button,  is it actually latest threads, or latest comments on threads ?

It's terrible now - the text is far too big on mobile - maybe worse due to text size option - but this looks like another of those cases where someone has worked for ages without good feedback until it goes live. It's a forum - it's the posts that matter not the style.

It's not bad but it's not good either.

I like the text is bigger but navigating the boards, because they've been move around, is going to take me longer. 

I don't have the energy to be scrolling forever. 

Has mse ever heard of the saying 'if it ain't broken it don't need fixing' 

My time on this forum may drop off, like it did over the last change, not that I'm an important part of it but I just can't be bothered to try to get into a comfortable reading regime again.

Not positive:  It is *really* white.  I've had to turn my screen brightness down from what's comfortable on all the other sites.

Totally agree, I've never had to adjust my PC brightness and I'm on the web most of the day.
This "update" has achieved a first as half and hour later and my eyes are hurting.

No doubt it seemed a good choice in a bright office, but terrible outside one.

Another gripe. Why can't you mark all forums read in one go that you used to be able to do when you'd read everything that was of interest? Now you have to go to the parent and then mark each forum read individually.
