I'm not good with change and I think that this change is a bit too much all at once.  I was only just getting used to the old layout.

Maybe it's just me but I am finding it more difficult to browse the community and having to click on more things than normal to see something.

I was also hoping that the new design would include a section for individual members' posts that have been marked as a solution.

Anyways this is just my opinion.  I am sure that many members will disagree with me.

Hi Gemz,

Some great points there and we'll feed them back :).

If you had to pick anything you miss from the old design, what would it (they) be?

 

EDIT: Also guys, the quoting featue should be easier to visually understand. Have a play with it and let us know what you think!

I can't put my finger on why I don't like this. I think it just feels very untidy. I like things to be tidy and organised and have logic, and this just doesn't.

I think the post body is too wide, I liked it was narrower on the old one, it makes it look cluttered if it's too wide.

I would like "unread posts" to be on the nav bar at the top in it's own right instead of under quick links.

I agree @Anonymous - it's hard to put my finger on exactly what the problem is but it is bugging me.

I personally think the new design makes it hard to post and interact with other members.

The thing I miss from the old layout is the home screen - the sections used to be easy to find right away rather than having to scroll down.

Any chance of an "unread post" count next to the section headings on the home page?

Sorry Toby, I meant next to each section (although I do agree with Wanty's request).

On the old layout, from the homepage, you could see if there were any unread posts against each section. Now, with the new layout, you have to click into each section (away from the homepage) to see the unread post count next to each section.
