Couldn't agree more with this. It now looks huge and takes up so much space and it also makes the persons comment look rather odd.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

I'm not finding the new look very easy on the eyes.
On my iPad, in portrait orientation, I have to scroll to bottom of the page to get to Recent Discussions which is irritatingInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Loving the dark mode feature better on my eyes
-
If the line between the post and the signature could be made bolder? That would separate it more.
-
The dark mode is great for me too
Found my inbox eventually but not easy to see if you have a pm like the inbox tab that used to be under your name -
I really like your idea @MarkN88 - there needs to be some distinction between a text/reply & a signature where used..... that may indeed work.
-
I think if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I liked the old look.
i liked the way you could look down a long list of threads and easily see if there was a new one at a glance.“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

still a shame that the "like" button hasn't been replaced with a "thanks" button like so many other forums.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Thanks for all the feedback so far and please keep it coming, they're helping us to prioritise and decide on changes and improvements.
@mikehughescq, thank you for the accessibility comments, some of these have already been flagged by our accessibility team and we're working on them. When you say about not being able to see all of your replies, they should be accessible from your profile under 'Comments'. However I've noted this is missing from the profile menu.
@woodbine, we will be looking at the buttons again once the re-theme settles down a little. It is still definitely on our list.
@leeCal, unfortunately the old theme was no longer supported so we had no choice but to re-theme.

One of the points Mike raises I also have. Apparently I've started 142 discussions; I've just checked, & it's 22.My main problem is simply looking at the site. Dark mode seemed OK on the whole, but, when you click off a post to go elsewhere, then as it's loading the contrast with having a very bright screen briefly I found to much. I've lowered the brightness on my screen to cope with the ordinary mode, but this is too dark for browsing on other sites, which is a nuisance.

I agree with the very bright loading screen, hurts your eyes when you've been looking at a screen with dark mode. I did lower the brightness but still hurts, also then have to change it for other sights.
