It's just appeared. I'm losing 3/4" of screen real estate on my 15.6" laptop screen.

Since I have 2" of Browser Bookmarks, Menu and Toolbars and a Double Height Taskbar, it's really intrusive

I DON'T WANT IT.

What to do?

The mobile font change is awful as well.

A pointless change. Who wants it?!?!

Pages having to be reloaded a couple of times.

Type size of the fonts is smaller as well and the pages seem to be jumping about more before they settle.

Path and Breadcrumbs, at the top, are sufficient. An extra Navigation bar is ridiculous

A Close or Minimise button would suit, or Right-click option to get rid of it.

Hate it. Also hate how little things are now different such as the forum icons are smaller.

WOW!
what a cluster**** this is.
This is what the new DS forums looks like

and this is what any part of their site now looks like

Genius design so minimalist

and why are the smilies so small over there>>>>>>>>
now? they are barely visible.
Does incompetence get you a pay bonus here?

Here we go again...

Could not load on Firefox but have managed on Chrome.

Why can`t you leave things alone as they are?

IF IT`S NOT BROKEN, DON`T FIX IT

All of the above, and my smilies have shrunk to be nearly invisible to the eye on the right hand side

Do not like

Kill it, kill it with fire.
Intrusive, pointless and amateur.
I know where the main DS site is and I avoid it because it is not my cup of tea.
Intruding on the forums will just piss more people off.

I'm guessing that the powers that be are winding down the forums & prefer the Facebook posts on the articles on the front page.

No forums visible in Firefox (just top and bottom bars), but working on IE.

I had to clear my cookies and cache on my iPhone as the forum had disappeared.

No point in complaining about it - nothing will happen.

I definitely don't like it. Maybe we just need time to get used to it?

Instead of changing the wallpaper they should be fixing the search engines.
