The new MSE forum. Good - Bad.

Where are your Favourites?

Categories drop down; "Following"?

Very convoluted to get from one sub board to another which was easy with the list on the left of the old forum pages. 

Also agree too much white space so hard to see where you are. Maybe it’s better on a larger screen but not on a tablet. One post fills almost entire screen so it’s hard to see where you actually are!

Martin obviously does not believe in Money saving if he’s throwing it away turning a good readable forum it was into a complete shambles it looks now. But obviously some clueless kid fresh out of “uni” knows better😂😂😂

the “new” and “number” of new posts on a thread are not made obvious, the thread headers on the main pages (don’t know how to describe them really, sorry) seems so much more cluttered than before?? 

Oh and not having a page header button, such as “savings and investments” at the bottom of the page as well as the top like before is a nuisance too

Having said I dislike in the poll, it doesn't seem that bad. However the categories need moving up the forum home page to below the search box, not below random junk.

Also banners (top, quick links & search box) need shrinking, plus the pop out quick links/categories need re-jigging so it reads across the page, not vertically. So it doesn't take over half the screen when accidentally hovering over it!

Desperately needs a Dark Mode now.

Too straining on the eyes, especially on mobile 😎

Used to be able to flip to my favourites easily. Now seem to have to go my bookmark to do so.

Not a fan of the "new and improved" look.

Using a tablet.  Too much scrolling.  Navigation more difficult, right hand panel a waste of space and distracting - now I've scrolled down a bit, the right hand panel which takes up a quarter of my screen is just blank.  I really don't like it.
Titles of posts not clear enough; 'new' indicator too small, not enough posts on each page owing to the white space - I can't be bothered to go over to the next page.  I will spend less time reading this forum now.
