I don't mind the actual layout as such, it's the colours and all that wasted space. On a 1080p monitor there's about a good 5/6cm minimum each side of the forum posts.
I understand the need to appeal to users of mobile devices, but we real computer users should at least have the ability to use a theme that fits our screens too, surely?.
I've just tried it on 2 tablets an Android and an iPad and it's no better on there than on my PC
It's far too bright. It's starting to hurt my eyes and give me a headache. Please, please fix this otherwise I will no longer be able to use the forums.
Please can you get rid of the black boxes where the private message is, it looks so out of place. The old buttons have got to go and I'm not sure grey, grey and even more grey is the right way to go.
Okay, This is what the forums look like on my 1920 x 1200 resolution monitor with the text at a sensible size and THIS is what they look like when zoomed to fit the screen, with text that's prbably visible from space.
Also, almost impossible to type at the moment.
Yes, this is what I see to.
And have you tried quoting someone, the message/reply box is now too small that it can be difficult to properly read and highlight any parts of someone's post you want to draw attention too.
Still, I guess (I hope) it is still a work in progress.
It looks dreadful, the layout is a mess, navigation is non-existent. It really is frightening to think that anything this universally abysmal was put live.
Put the old format back please ASAP, and flush this effluence back down the toilet it came up from.

Do you have trouble reading text written on paper too? Black text on a white background isn't generally considered difficult to read...
Ah it was grey on grey and a quick refresh now has a bit of white in it. And looks like Microsoft office 2013 outlook. ho-hum did you keep the receipt for the early xmas present?

The black banner across the top before scrolling down is asking for screen burn.

Also the right side of the page is cut off unless I go full screen!

So much wasted space everywhere, this can't be the finished product, surely?!
Me too. I was worried about my 'addiction'. Suddenly I think I might be cured.
Far too narrow.
And it just looks horrid. Sorry to be so negative.
Maybe it'll be adjusted by tomorrow...

Other than that it's looking great.
Same here ... I'm on iPad

Well done looks so much better

You're not the only one. I am now glancing at posts instead of reading them, because it's a really unpleasant experience - not good for a forum.
And the more I look at it, the more it feels like it's a website that hasn't loaded properly, which surely can't be the image they're looking for...
...200 quid and I'll fix it
Weird, it's hurting my eyes now and I had a wee focus issue there for a second, and I haven't had a drink.
