Another step in the wrong direction I'm afraid. The loss of the links up top is counter-intuitive and it all genuinely looks like a step back five or more years frown

A community this big and this busy, something which the whole brand is built around, should be cutting edge and pushing boundaries with design. Not reverting back to web 1.1.

Just my 2p.

Nope, that's not a good move, hard to read forum lists, to the point that it hurts to do so, once inside a topic its fine, but if I can't read the list I won't get that far, change something else if you feel the need to fiddle about, search maybe? .

Oh Christ...

Bright idea time in the office was it?

Well it's not a bright idea. It looks crap. Back to classic please.

PHuckit. It seems fine to me. The Classic system was becoming too difficult to read anyway.

Besides, with 48% left in your iPhone you've got bigger issues to focus on. wink

There are numerous issues with the look and feel of the GTI skin, some of which have already been pointed out, but there's many more that were raised when it was first introduced. I simply can't believe they haven't been resolved before switching off the alternatives. Absolutely terrible decision. What kind of mugs are in charge here?

Bloody hell!

It's awful looking on my browser of choice on my iPad Pro!

Why are the fonts all,mixed up and different sizes too?

It looks and feels very - well childlike? And I do t mean in a Goodway,

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.
Yes, on my tablet it is very difficult to read. This is the only website I've ever come across that has the problem so presumably it hasn't been fully tested on all formats. Perhaps it's time to get some professional web designers on the job ?
