I prefer it the way it was before. I have a basic phone, so it is a nightmare trying to even get on the forums section as I can't do drop-lists!!
Its also mis-aligned now and too big for my screen - I have to keep reducing the font/screen size!!
Hope these are teething problems DS will sort out!!
On ipad you have to have the mobile version to read the whole posts, and that looks exactly like how basic phones look. Its like theyve taken a product from 2013 and made it suitable for products from the early 2000s.
Trying it again in this morning in Natural light. Makes no difference, I am struggling to read posts in normal text. The words are not defined enough, they blur into the background. When using Bold it's fine. My eyesight is fine and I don't need glasses but If this stays like this I will end up needing them as I can feel that it is straining my eyes reading posts.
At the foot of a thread there's an obvious button that says Add Reply, and then a little below that there are the words Quick Reply. However, Quick Reply doesn't seem to do anything and doesn't seem to have a box associated with it in which one could type a reply. (I'm using Firefox.)
Does Quick Reply actually let one type a quick reply or does it do nothing? Am I missing something obvious?
On mine, the Quick Reply box is below the pink "Posting Tips" section with a "Post Quick Reply" button below that.
but ive either got black on the right that cuts off 10% of the page... or on other threads its a white area on the left that cuts off 10%. but no quote, reply, bar thing on the bottom, gaps between posts/threads.
First time on since Friday so taken aback. OK - a) it's new, and there's always a familiarisation period, b) I'm ancient and less open to change and c) the old DS was looking a bit dowdy.
However...this is AWFUL. It might look cool and minimalist, but for someone like me with a squint that makes screen usage tiresome at the best of time, the huge amount of unfilled space makes it a total nightmare.
I'm not being a comfort zone merchant, but please look at condensing the content to make browsing easier and use more contrast in the colours. It's just terrible as it is.
It's weird, I feel as if I'm trapped on this thread, all the others are still going on and I usually flit around many of them like a butterfly, but it all seems so much effort now, that things are passing me by and I just stay here.
My last whinge, after which I'll bugger off because I'm really fed up with this crappy layout: Is anyone else finding it hard to read the members' names, now they're blue?

The correct question is:
How much do they pay their in-house monkeys?
I believe the correct answer will be published in the not-too-distant future, in a document which I believe is called, a P45.
My main gripe has not been solved.......the right hand side of the page is missing and I can't read the whole post
There is no sideways scroll bar to get to the side of the page
It could even have been alpha tested, but it appears even that was too much trouble!

its unusable.

eDIT, OH I TRIED TO TYPE IN CAPITALS BUT IT CHANGED IT TO LOWER CASE
seems like about half of members
can't see the right hand side
of the page
Could we have a gentleman's
agreement that everybody only
types half a dozen words per
line so the whole post is on
the left hand side of the page
Maybe add it to the Terms And Conditions......:cool:
^^^^^^^^
like this !
Anyone else feel the same?
"Overall the roll-out was a success. Forum usage was up 60% overnight!"
[they won't mention it was 95% people screaming they were blind]
why do we all have to use it then. it simply doesn't ****ing work. basic problems.
No! There was somebody who liked it last night, on about page 40-something. But since then, likers have been few and far between!
Exactly! [Smiley Face]
I'm henceforth doing all my posts in bold, not because I'm scared of not being noticed, but just so that I can see the damned things!
I'd bet you a green smiley that those messages will be front and centre of the Tuesday Morning Review meeting.
