It is a truth universally acknowledged that -

1 no newcomer to a forum ever complains about its format

2 but that doesn't prevent anybody who has belonged to a forum for more than twenty minutes being outraged at any change to the original format , no matter how small , no matter how necessary because ...

3 every forum user has unrivalled IT expertise which they are happy to share with others

4 on the interweb , style is far, far more important than substance and

5 never mind the message, it's the medium about which so many love to fly into such delicious and self righteous rages

Also takes an eternity for typed responses to appear in the GTi Reply box, like there's the most ridiculous delay.

For those that were using PH Classic before, is it really massively different?

Bit more spacing in places
Slightly different font
Fancier quote boxes

I'm genuinely not seeing much else and it all looks fine to me.

The only bits I don't like are the font and the fact that 'read ' threads aren't greyed out so I can't quickly see if someone has answered a topic recently.

How about fixing the search utility first?

Why can't we keep it as it was? It worked perfectly. At least give us the option to keep it as it was.

Well that's horrific! frown
I thought I was logged out until the PHTechies message came up explaining how they were now going to ruin everything.

I have mostly used my mobile to access PH, in Big Blue mode, which is nice and structured and gives a good overview for quick access to whatever topic takes my fancy.
This so-called "GTi" skin is utter utter crap by comparison, difficult to navigate and looks amateurish and third-rate.

Please don't do this, or I will demand my money back.

I can see a huge mass migration to BookFace or whatever they call it.

Yours extremely disgruntledly,

Mr. Angry of Tunbridge Wells.

PS. I shall write a letter of complaint about this to the Times.
And my MP.

There'll be trouble I tell you.
The masses are revolting!

The font on the forum list is too thin, very difficult to read. I reported this before and nothing was done but could use the classic where it was ok. Now that option has gone. Android Nexus.

Not good.

Well, whatever visual excrescence PH decides to inflict on us, can they at least turn off the popup that reminds us that they're going to do it every two minutes?

I remember first playing with HTML in around 1992.

I moved on. Why can't you?

Does the skin provide chip protection?
