I'm not sure if this one has been mentioned, but I see it on a number of sites: since this is a UK-based site, would it be possible to set the dictionary to English?

 

 Works fine for me:

Ditto for me, it's working as expected.

I have noticed when going into NEW 6, when I have read them all and go back to the list it still says NEW 6

The page refreshed before the update so is that a problem that needs fixing

Thanks - maybe it's my local settings then!

2.  I have disabled and removed the menus (using Adblock Plus) and this has made a massive difference.

I hope that MSE don't see this as an acceptable result though.  We shouldn't have to do this just to get rid of the excessive, problematic broad blank space one the right of the screen.  I know they say this is in place for future use, but whatever they want it for, please put it at top or bottom to get rid of the blank space.

Are you on a 32" screen? mine is 15.6" ...

The trouble is those using large monitors filling the up the space on the right with posts  will make it hard to read.
Will end up with a large line of continuous text to read and that can be nightmare.

The major issue is how people use it.
On a PC/laptop the best place for information (user name, post time, etc)  is on the side as this fills up the blank space, but makes posts readable.
On a phone/tablet the best place for this is at the top, as edge to edge text works well on those devices.

This can be done as a forum I sometimes used adjusts depend on the device, but seems for whatever reason (money, time, skill?) MSE haven't done this, and PC/laptop user have been thrown to the wolves.

The writing in the comment boxes is HUGE ... how am I supposed to complain about people in the room when they can read it from space ?? lol

Main gripe.. PLEASE move the damn 'report' button.. I have hit it 7 times in the last 24 hours accidentally.. put it the other side.. I want to thank people not report their post!

I do keep getting a huge drop down banner thing appear fom nowhere whatever that is it is annoying..

The rest is just a case of getting used to it..

PHK

The current state is much better, the font is still a little large.

My main comment is that the header of each post on mobile is a mess with everything on separate lines.

For example, move time/date of post to top right. The rank (forumite etc) could go next to the name with post count underneath and the badges bottom right of the header.

@prowla re spellings ... indeed my spellcheck options in both Chrome and Edge were incorrect by default, changed as follows ...

Chrome ... 

Edge ...
