I'm not too fussed about the skin.

However how do I get the full website on my mobile.

The mobile version is awful.

Hi All!

Firstly, there may have been a little confusion about if this skin is actually new due to the title... It is in fact the GTI skin, that many of you use already, that is becoming the "new" single skin format for the forums. Sorry for any confusion caused!

We'd like to thank you for all the constructive feedback so far. The community, dev and product teams are actively reviewing your comments and working together to formulate a roadmap of updates based on your feedback to improve the forums. We will be responding to individual feedback posts/questions tomorrow to get more information. Please keep it all coming in!

The PH Team
Can you add the option to sort by forum after using the What's New function back in please?

Thanks.

Am I being thick or does what's new now only go by last visit? On classic you can pick by last 24,48 and 72 hours?

Only having one "skin" is fine

But this one belongs back in the era of the Lynx browser

Don't all the additional adverts allow you to hire a decent UX designer?

I find the first page and fonts too small, so difficult to read easily - it is like you haven't logged in.
Then click on a thread and there are 2 banner ads separated by the PH thread title. This means the first comments are below half way down the screen.
I can live with it - but far prefer how it was before ( presumably that's the classic skin as I've been around for ages and it has larger fonts).

Update the skin change the text became unreadable.



This is sort of dumb mistake made by a rookie, you would have thought ensuring text on an internet forum is readable is a coding 101.

Expected a lot better from you.

It looks fine to me.

There are some very angry, and probably a tad unhinged people on this forum!

It's the page background layout and colours. Click your username, click preferences and then change the skin drop-down menu at the bottom. Each one has a different look. smile

Are we all experiencing the same thing? I'm on an iPhone and have no issues with GTI.

I suppose it could be down to it being the skin I've used for years.

Usually I'm not against change, but this feels like such a backward step.
I can understand the need to simplify things but this end result just looks basic and amateurish at the very least.

Wow, this is dreadful. The text is too small (Mac/Safari) but when I press the "A" button on the toolbar it goes weird....



Reminds me of this website from the 1990's

Take a look here: http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/alldesigns/

It's exactly the same web page "styled" by a multitude of professional designers (what PH needs)
