    I think the comments on this thread:
    Welcome to the new Forum look – give us your feedback - Page 30 — MoneySavingExpert Forum
    give you the answer.

    The question is...will MSE take any notice?
  • I'm using an android phone for information. 

    Using site for the first few hours today I didn't like it.

    However, after the different format and the clunkyness became a little more familiar with my slow brain, I'm now finding it better and I'm surprised. 

    Still feeling a bit clunky looking through the various sections etc etc but, when reading and replying on threads finding it nice now.

    Horrible. For a money saving site, it seems a total waste of time and money. Immedately, found myself browsing a 1/10th of the pages I did the day before

    There's no option for "Not fussed either way."
    I go on a board that still uses the original PHBB or whatever it was format, and that's a pain nowadays, but it seems churlish to whinge if the thing's working OK, as it is for me. Of course, the experience may depend on the software and device.
    So, no serious complaints, but from a personal perspective, more than ten posts a page would be better.

    There should be an "Everyone dislikes change at first, give me a couple of days with it so I can establish to pros and cons objectively without jumping to conclusions" option.  :)

    Yes, but if everyone with this opinion abstained for a week or so it would give a very misleading view of the overall opinion as all the people with an axe to grind would skew the results.

    Nothing wrong with the old layout, why has it been changed?
