Why change it?

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

A bit like SCD then.

inbetween clicks i get quite a nice dark blue, but then the actual page is some awful nightmare of shades of pale beige, not easy to read at all...

strange new world isnt it? Though it is clear on my laptop screen, nothing missing and the type is about the same size as it was before. Background is a paleish blue and the bit in the middle is very light grey. Quite pretty really

Horrible, you have a massive space of white , in appalling anaemic colours .
Why do they have to change something that was working perfectly, for something appalling .

Four and a half inches of empty space either side of the reading panel. Everything so blooming light, it is hard to focus on the type.

Why on earth...?

And why can't they at least offer a 'DS Classic' in the skin options if they are going to make such radical changes.


EDIT: There are no skin options

I just cranked up my old PC and although it's a little better I am still losing some off the right hand side - still couldn't get onto the next page until I clicked 'first unread' - which actually took me back to the top of the same page (!) but did wriggle it to the left enough to get onto the page I wanted. Sheesh! Not liking this.
I usually read the threads while I'm on my breaks at work - on my tablet - can see that not happening anymore unless they fix it.

It seems to be gradually taking shape now.
It's like they have launched the basic site and are 'tweaking' piece by piece instead of launching a finished product.

(Apologies for the non-technical jargon! )

oooh if you go 'advanced' to reply you see (almost nearly) the complete sentences.

This is crappy isn't it.
My nexus 10 is chomping up my battery life because of the white screen.
Horrid.

This pale beige/grey background is dreadful. I'm all for change and like some of the new features but hate the background/skin.
When I post of click between pages I do get a lovely dark blue but then it reverts to mud again.

I hate it. I can't see myself coming on here much now unless they do something to improve it. I do all my browsing and posting on my iPad and it's a complete nightmare in this new format.
How can you go toa page number? All I can see are four arrows, two go a page at a time and the other two take you either to the first or last pages. Horrible just horrible.

Gee, I was on my mobile, finishing off a pretty long post and then sent it by mistake ( unedited with a load of typing and spelling errors ).

As I went to edit it, the new world came in, totally confusing me, and then yes, I couldn't get to the end of my original, although the punch line kind of worked on a separate post ( fortunately noone came in between ).

I guess we'll get used to the new layout, but yes making sure it worked and particularly a warning would have been nice !

Tis cwap, very poor indeed, hurts my eyes to look at and not easy to follow other posts. It appears to be half finished.

So am I. It's terrible. Pale fonts, brilliant white screen and a header so deep it's taking up a quarter of the space.


Things are a bit clearer though if you post in bold.

I agree it's useless on the iPad as you can't see all the text, and clicking on the mobile link at the bottom of the page made no difference.

It looks better on the PC if you use IE browser but the font on Chrome is hopelessly out of focus, particularly the m,n an u characters.

I hate this! Can't read half the posts, they've cut off and I can't move the screen around on my ipad.

As a partially sighted person, this is absolutely hopeless Whoever thought it was a good idea to have grey text? I have had to alter my VDU (specially set up for me for optimum usefulness) and this makes the print too small. I guess it's 'Bye, bye Digital Spy' for me.
