Agreed. The site just feels really congested now. Might take a couple days to get used to I guess.

Yeah...this is just terrible on mobile. I don't mind when a frequented site changes the layout a bit, but when the functionality takes a nose dive thats a problem.

Responsive Design? Why is main content centered in a narrow middle wrapper then while about 50% of the available real estate is taken up by blank whitespace on the left and right?

Sure, it's good for mobile but you're unnecessarily taking away space from desktop views. Nothing responsive about that.

Anyone else having a problem with their posts disappearing? Also what's up with the SQL error after every post that I make?

It'll take time to get used to like any forum change. Any of the lost features need to be returned, no reason to take away. As for the drop down menu up top, it's very irritating and the first thing I did was get rid of it. No reason for it, just cramps the page.

In web design, simplicity is the way to go. Too much on the screen gives the same sensation of being at work or school and having your desk cluttered with papers and objects.

Lack of notifications is stupid, it was among the best features this site had and made it simple to navigate.

Redesign is awful upon initial inspection.

The topic lists used to show the page counts, which allowed you to go directly top the last/latest page. Now there is only post counts, so you'll have to browse into a topic and then go to the last page.

Biggest complaint I have off the bat is that I have to enter a thread in order to then select a page to view on it, meaning I have to click twice to get to the last page assuming that is where I was browsing. Seems redundant.

EDIT: I see there is a view latest post but that doesn't help if I want to get to a particular page very quickly like during a game thread.

I'm still getting an error message when I try to "View All" of my notifications.

Maybe you can check to see if my quoting of your post generates a correct notification. :lol:

Please let us turn off that incredibly annoying top nav bar that's always persistent even if you scroll down.

I'm liking the new Redesign. Major kudos to the web developers responsible for it.

"I don't like change!"

We'll get used to it. I liked it better before the new changes, but whatever.
