while the previous experience was certainly broken, what they've done was take it, shit on it, rape it, shoot it in the face, and leave the body in a dumpster.

Font size is way to big and everything looks like it's out of a cartoon.... 

I wish you'd kept the threat folder looking things yellow instead of blue. This is way different and it looks like you changed shit just to change shit.  Looking at the site now it's like running my monitor at the lowest rez setting.

With computer stuff, if it ain't broke, it will be soon if you don't upgrade it occasionally... whether it "needs" it or not.

Yup, this...if you've hardened the ads so they can't be blocked, ain't no fucking way I'll be renewing my membership.

If I have to let ads play, I have other things to do.

Either Goatboy ignored the feedback or they only let idiots into the beta testing. The new site looks like shit and is giving people headaches. Give us the option of the old format with the updated features! It can't be that hard.

It's...different.  I'm sure I could get used to it.  Kinda liking the new mobile site better than the old one, personally.  Not sure how much, if any, difference it will make in data consumption, compared to the old mobile site.  

I'll have to check out the full site when I get to a PC.

It looks interesting.   Definitely has a more modern look and I'm still going around checking the changes.

One thing that immediately caught my attention was that new button with the little tools (wrench and screwdriver).  That symbol usually represents "setup".  So, I was a bit surprised that it's not the forum preferences setup but just a views selection that replaces the old horizontal bar where we could click directly on the link we wanted to see.

My personal preference is for the old style but if most like the new one it's not something terrible.  My problem is what I feared.  When I click on it, it does not "stick" open. It simply "pulses" the list of view options and closes it again.  That happens in several other websites that appear to be designed for traditional desktops with mouse pointers that can hover over a menu and it opens the options.

However, in my tablet I cannot hover so if touch something and keep my finger over something it opens a context-based menu from the operating system.

So, bottom line is that it's not working for me and is actually a now broken site feature   It used to be a nice one that I used a lot.   Any way to fix it?  It's really annoying.

Running more tests later.

First impression WAY too stretched out vertically with far too much unused space.  requires a lot more scrolling to view same amount of content.  Needs "shrunk" for lack of a better work.

I I only use my phone and have found it impossible to navigate in full site while zoomed in the upper boarder covers the screen, when i click in the text box it auto zooms and puts the upper boarder directly in my way

I do not use mobile site settings nor will i download the app. This will not retain the full site setting when I exit the page like the previous site.

All I see is change for the sake of change. Much like a few years ago when the ee got separated into a confusing mess.

Another vote for this.

Also can we swap the location of the "Select File" and "Submit" buttons.

No way to bulk unsubscribe threads in subscriptions?

Sure wish I had cleaned mine out before the change, most of the green arrows don't work anymore anyway with the posts-per-page changes anyway.

Just manually navigate to the last page. Once you get out of there and refresh, the green arrow will work properly.
