It's much harder to use. Will people just quit, cannot be bothered because they've made it so much harder to use ?

i could see that earlier but halfway through masterchef that bar at the top doubled in size and now blocks all that out

It's doing it to me too. I'm using chrome ....you?

My guess it's a problem with chrome users, but Firefox users can see it fine

yes posting on a live programme was a nightmare, it took forever, then madly scrolling about trying to find where you had reached as it took you to some random page in the thread

Thank you for replying, I thought it was my PC playing up slow.

Too many emails, all negative, I'm un-subscribing.

Total waste of space, time & effort.

Did no-one field test this.

It's as bad as SKY News, top 2/3 unusable, 1/3 either side blank, what a total cock up.

I complained and was basically told use the mobile site on my iPad or not at all. I can hardly see what I am typing,

How do you do that?

LightningIguana · 03/12/13 - 02:38

Not enough contrast, the pale grey/white is making me strain my eyes to see it. Can't we keep the blue?

My eyesight is pretty naff on the best of days and this is really uncomfortable.

All these people having problems with the page off the screen - my page is displaying fixed to the central 50% of the screen!

Waste of space.

Is anyone getting what I get? - when you post a comment, the screen goes black (their black background I mean) and it takes up to twenty seconds to see the posted comment?

I see my posted comment within about 3 seconds.

I'm sure the advertisers will be really pleased that their paid for advertising banners are hidden under that huumungously deep header....

Watcher #1 · 03/12/13 - 02:39

Yuck, yuck, yuck

Hideous colour scheme. Big bar o useless white at top of screen. What I now know to be breadcrumbs hidden if you use adblock on chrome.

Please put it back and think again

Is the word cluster**** banned by the content filter???

EDIT: bollocks! But they'll get the point.

Pete Grain · 03/12/13 - 02:39

Damn...2 minutes, and my head is hurting trying to read just one page :mad:

If you squint hard enough/long enough at the home page - you can just about read at the bottom of it 'Made In Error'

This is dreadful. On I-pad there is no right hand bit to the screen, I can't read the right bit of posts. The screen just cuts off. As I use DS. On ipad only while I'm watching tv if it isn't sorted I will no longer be looking at or using DS.

I agree. It's unusable on the iPad. Shame, I usually visit several times a day.

It's only the fastest growing platform.

Crafty buggers. If you use an ad blocker, you don't get the navigation options.

I am too. And yep, the top bar has doubled in size.

I prefer a flashing green background with purple text.

Yep I'm on iPad Air and can't see right side on the forums section now :mad:

Agree :mad:

I'm usually of the 'give it a chance' mindset but this is dreadful. It's just not very comfortable to read this forum, the stupid DigitalSpy bar at the top is a crap idea.

Shitstorm isn't.

It is better on IE, but I prefer to use Chrome.

[Deleted User] · 03/12/13 - 02:41

NO NO NO

I've had to turn style off in Firefox.

As your developers to use a 1024 0x 768 screen resolution instead of the epic 4 monitor setup and you will find that you can only see 1 or 2 posts.

Why can the header not disappear on a tab or something rather than fill a third of my screen.

Too much space.

Please shoot someone.

[Deleted User] · 03/12/13 - 02:41

Sorry DS but I hate it. The grey makes it so you can barely read it and you cannot see a full line because you can't see the right side of the page.

In the top left immediately above where it says DS Forums

It doesn't work for me either.
