Well I'm sure I'll get used to the new look, given enough time, but there's one massive (literally) thing that I hate. Quoted pictures now appear to be full size, not thumbnails. This will make viewing picture threads somewhat tedious, given the amount of quoting and requoting of pictures that occurs.

Please, if we have to have just one skin, make it Classic.

I'm trying to like the 'new' look but it's not easy; so many ill thought out features e.g. why has the Smilies box gone full screen?

Out of all the previously available skins, it appears we're being forced to use the worst one.

PH is the only forum that looks like it was crafted by a school IT administrator back in 1997 and has refused to move on with technology ever since, a bit like most PH users on here who complain at the first sign of change. Everyone has moved on to phpBB and it has become the norm, the acceptable standard but oh no not pistonheads.

At least PH has finally started to release video reviews now, again 10 years later than everyone else they almost look as good as the videos EVO used to do back when Chris Harris was working for them.

Also - have you managed to create landing pages in the GTI skin for 'watch this thread'?

Also - is there a reporting facility on GTI (I used to have to switch to BB to report any posts).

they don't want a secure site but want everyone to have the same stupid skin, really it is pretty basic stuff.

Don't know if this will come out right. Is this the font that others are seeing on the topic lists ?

That's the best skin I reckon, tried the others, couldn't get on with them so have been on Big Blue for donkeys years now.

Holy crap the change from desktop to tablet/mobile is not how websites should handle responsive design. if you drop below 751px (odd breakpoint) it changes into a completely different website?
