    I'm on the ipad and it doesn't fit my screen and I can't see the right side of the forum. Too much blank spae between posts and the colour is awful.

    I usually fine with changes but this is awful.

    Agreed. I never complained about the millions of changes Facebook have made over the years, because I generally adapt to them quickly.

    It wasn't broken - WHY was it "fixed" :confused::( It's bloody awful and the homepage ( for me ) is a complete nightmare as is this forum - it's totally faceless :mad::mad::(:(

    Ahh yes...if you hold the CTRL button and turn your mouse wheel it zooms in and out. It does make text smaller too though.

    Kinda crap isn't it?

    I like the layout just not a fan of the colour scheme.

    Why do so many people try to fix things that aren't broken?

    i can't even get to the end of the threads as the buttons are off the side of the page! I can't see how many replies or views there are,
    Surely someone should have checked how it looked on an ipad? obviously not!
    Unless it changes there's no way I can read it now so will delete it from favourites

    It's awful, far too bright, I've only been on the forum for 10 minutes and I'm already getting a headache because I'm straining my eyes.

    If it ain't broke....

    Ya know! It was prefectly ok and the fonts and colour schemes didn't assault the eye. It was lovely.

    This new layout & colour is giving me a headache, and I'm not one who likes to moan. :(

    Designed by people who make forums and not by real designers. Classic error.

    stylebot is only on chrome but i'd certainly switch if kargo can share his/her tweaks ..

    Here is the tweak that you can import into Stylebot :)

    Whoever designed this 'update' needs to be sacked immediately.

    this is absolutely horrible.

    I've been out since I was on the other thread and just logged on to this.

    O.M.G. I thought the main site was bad enough but this is far worse than I could ever have imagined. White and grey? It's like a vampire has sucked all the life out of DS.

    If this is a 'lick of paint' thank f**k they didn't do any 'major' changes!

    My feedback? It's ABSOLUTE CRAP!

    Try zooming out? I got the same on Firefox, and it seems to have solved it, though, whilst I can see the whole page now, the text is smaller and harder to read.

    I have had to reduce to 100% and now I cant read it :mad::mad:

    This is vBulletin, right? Or based on vBulletin?

    TIP: You have set the thread width/postbit width to a set number of pixels. That results in some users having acres of blank space (like me) and others on lower resolutions having parts of the thread cut off. Instead of setting the table to a set pixel size, set it to a % of the screen, e.g. 90%. You can do that in vB, we've been doing it plenty on our forums to ensure that all users have optimum use of space.

    Bumping this because it should be a QUICK FIX. Change from pixels to percentage width and you are instantly appeasing those who complain about blank space AND those who complain about having part of the postbit cut off.

    Also quoting this because I think the contrast in that colour scheme is much more pleasing:

    More colour contrast would be better. Something like this (very quickly knocked up but a more pleasing on my eyes anyway).

    needs a better font, bold it for a start, but i do like the menu at the top ..... lose the alt text though, it's not needed, unless it's a description of the section or a short text of the leading article

    I agree, a choice between old, new and Kargo would be good.

    I'd pick old though, I loathe straining my eyes to try and read what it is I'm typing.

    An option for
    old look
    would solve it
    although if
    they want a
    new look the
    Kargo would
    be great
