Thanks DS, I can no longer browse the forums from my Android phone. All I can see is the top and bottom of the page- the rest is just a white screen.

Surely I'm not the only one having issues with this? I already hated 'Beta' but this is one step too far.

I agree, the new look is garbage.

It's awful. It won't work in chrome for me at all, I've had to open firefox to be able to see anything.

If you think this is an outrage you obviously don't have much life experience. Am I right in thinking you're still at school?

I have got the old and better DS homepage back all of a sudden but that awful black bar is still across the top of the forums.

For me it depends what device I use for the forum, some devices I cant even log in!

The DS soap news, episode guide and spoiler section is horrific to use

I cleared my internet history and cookies and it went back to the old site look (I use my android phone to view site but on desktop layout not mobile)

I had the exact opposite. Couldn't see a thin on Firefox, tried it on Chrome and it was fine.

I then went back to Firefox and turned on my modified headers (for watching some US stuff in the uk) and that seemed to cure it on there, too.

Totally agree. It doesn't seem to have a logical layout anymore. Where has the comments section gone from the bottom of each news story? The back button doesn't take you back to where you were.

I really don't like it...i may finally get a surprise when i watch an episode of Corrie, Eastenders and Hollyoaks now as i haven't managed to read the spoilers

I am shocked there isn't loads of threads on this. The whole new layout is shocking and not user friendly. It looks good, but that's it.

Same here.

I did flag to them via Facebook, but they seem to ignore that.

What is the home page all about? There is NO configuration to it whatsoever.

'Must read' (surely it's down to the individual to be the judge of that) .. 'Most shared' (who cares?!) Just a plain an simple index with sub-indexing was just fine.

I personally don't know where to begin on the home page and immediately click the topic title, such as 'Soaps' to attempt get a clearer understanding and more enjoyable browsing experience as I did before - however, the layout immediately flaws you and it's difficult to remain bothered or interested in reading an article. The Android version, well, why did they even bother with it?!

DS has never been the same since the initial dull 'grey and white' update we have today and the removal of the rolling eyes emoticon! The overall site and layout is extremely poor and completely non-user friendly.
