Thank you for those screen shots (I know this was posted earlier also) - I just got hold of the test iPads we have here and can reproduce that. Will need to understand in the morning with the team how that has passed QA, and will work on a fix for this to go out tomorrow.
Galaxy Tab S 8.4 looks the same as that top pic for me Pete.

Not checked today and tbh no real desire to try again considering the difficulty I had to get out.
From memory, the updated posts indicator , arrow or bold font didn't work consistently. Plus if you did go into a thread didn't see delete, quote buttons. No report button but that was the same on the mobile skin iirc.
Sometimes it would just dump you in a laptop type screen with small text and multiple columns seemingly at random. Almost as if it didn't recognise you were on a mobile device.
Yet if instead of my stuff you went onto what's new it looked ok.
If you can assure me that I can get back out of GTI after having a look will have a go later this evening as running out of battery and the dog is wittering to go out onto the common and chase saround like a nutter. Hope that's okay for now. See you later.

Yep, have reinstated the ability to switch between skins, so you can get back to Classic after you look.

So it looks like the majority of issues and dislikes are coming from those on tablet devices. If that is not the case then please let us know.
When using tablet, what orientation do you like to use (portrait or landscape), and can you please let us know a bit more about what you do not like in the new skin so we can improve it. At the moment it is hard to do improvements on general comments of its quality.
I am sorry, but I am struggling to see any improvements, only degradations on both iPhone and iPad. I haven't been on a desktop today because I'm travelling.When using tablet, what orientation do you like to use (portrait or landscape), and can you please let us know a bit more about what you do not like in the new skin so we can improve it.

It may only be a small proportion of users on certain skins that are affected, but it appears that these are mostly frequent, regular posters and the change has locked us into the GTI skin. This cannot be that difficult to reverse.
I've just checked and portrait is far worse than landscape.

And my hudl and iPad both look like MissChief's above.
On my laptop (Mac), it's now reverted back to what is, I assume, the classic skin. To be honest, I quite like that old skin as I know my way around it and it suits the way I look at the world
Just had a quick look. My 'My stuff' topics and replies screen looks like the pics posted above MissChief and Bill.
Regardless of whether the topic title is inbold or not it only takes you to the first page. You have to manually navigate to the last page which in case of fast moving threads is not last viewed. This is a major obstacle for me.
However if you click on what's new that looks more like it with arrow link to last viewed point. Sorry can't do a screen grab.
Once you're in the thread then quote , multiquote and delete buttons are there. Not the report button, but as before that was missing from mobile.
It seems very difficult to get a hit on the my stuff and other icons at the bottom of the screen but maybe that's my phone as the screen glass has a few errr issues.
Will keep gti for now and try to stick with it to see more useful stuff later tonight and tomorrow. All this is for galaxy mini 3. Will also try ipad and laptop tomorrow. Not much for now but hth.
May I ask someone else to post up a grab of the what's new screen to see if you're getting the same as me and would that sort some of your issues?

New items in My Stuff should be bold, and are that way on my phone at the moment, and out test phones in the office. We obviously do not have the resource to test across all mobile phones so will test on iPhone 6, 5, 4 and Samsung Galaxy S5 / S4 for all releases. These cover the top 5 most used devices on our site and IOS and Android.
On iPhone 5s unread 'my stuff' is now bold but still does not go to last read item! Same with a Motorola Android phone!
I've changed my skin back to Classic and everything is fine again. The only slight issue is that it's a bit harder to use on my mobile but it's way better than whatever I've been on for the last day or so.
Will I be able to stay on Classic or will I be changed to something else soon?

I've also noticed that on the PC my posts are not highlighted blue, unless somebody quotes me, in which case the quote is highlighted blue (which didn't work on the mobile beta).
Hmmm. On the iPhone, my posts are highlighted blue, but not quotes, the opposite to on the PC this afternoon. Craikeybaby said:
