Well, I am an Old Fart, I guess. I do not like change very much - especially when it does - again - like in so many places only benefit the thumb-scrolling-writing folks it seems.
Work in Progress:
- why do the descriptions of the forum sections take up so much more space than the field for the "Last Post"?
They get truncated which hinders a quick overview on opening the front page.
- the theme colours are much too bright.
- contrast too low.
- it should hopefully be possible to let me choose a dark theme later on.
- what I see on my 27" monitor is way to thin lettering - so now I am forced to use ctrl-+ to zoom in and ctrl-0 to get back to my medium default zoom level.
- a waste of screen space. But that is because of the so called "responsive" design features I presume.
- please, get rid of the stupid confirmation messages like "Do you really want to mark all messages read?"! This is and has always been...
- "Like" buttons disappear more and more from websites and this forum introduces them...I don`t get it.
This is my first impression. I know it is not fair, it is unreasonable and for sure I will have forgotten all these things in a while, but anyways.
For me webdesign went backwards with the take over of mobile phones and thumb-scrolling.
More and more I find what I find comfortable to use is less and less reflected in what I find in the (Internet) world. But that`s because I am an Old Fart and sit at home at a COMPUTER (

!)
- ON THE PlUS SIDE (for now): the forum loads faster.
(But that might be because it runs without any plugins)
