So I can see ok in landscape and pictures are ok, but navigation is a pain.  What used to be one click is now two and it's not easy to see when a thread has a new comment.

But it's not. Previously reading a thread I got to the Leave a Comment box and there was a link back to the forum index page. Now what do I have to do? So far I'm hitting the back button and refreshing the index page.

We've noted the point about the links that used to be at the bottom of the page, but if you're using a computer (ie something bigger than a tablet, have you tried the 'Quick Links' menu in the green bar at the top - this will save you scrolling all the way to the top.

Not a fan. Frankly, it's awful.

Previously, on the main page, a few 'page downs' would suffice to skip down through all of the forum headers, now I have to seemingly endlessly 'page down' in order to see things; same once you select a forum - before I could see 14 thread titles, now it's just 9, so yet more page down/scrolling to try to see things! Much less easy to read than before. 

Come back old forum, all is forgiven.

After reading a couple of threads I have given up.  Making my head ache.  Too much blank space.  Too much white.

How do you mark all threads as Read?

Change is always tricky to adapt to when it first comes, so I'll give this a couple of days before commenting on the style (though I'm struggling to navigate on first glimpse).

Feel duty-bound to report my perverse glee that the "MSE Guide to Coronavirus Travel Rights" appears to still be a pinned thread in the credit cards subforum

Oh, no option now to return to the main subforum page from the bottom of the last post - you now have to scroll up, which is a bit of a pain

Not any more.  Thanks for flagging!

Awful. Who comes up with these pointless changes?

My first impressions. I never use the forum on mobile devices so that may slant my thoughts.

I don't mind the colours, I said before I missed the green and still do. This isn't a bad compromise. I like being able to drag/drop images. 

Design wise it's...well...was it UX tested?  Here's some feedback

The wasted space on the right is especially annoying given how much more screen real estate the spacing now takes up.

Final comment/question - can we apply our own skins or, failing that, change fonts, font sizes and colours?
