- Overall appearance is clunky and less pleasant.
- Way too much white space especially at the top.
- In forum views, nearly everything uses an underline font. This is goofy looking, clunky and visually distracting as typically underlining is reserved for highlighting something and not for an entire page presentation.
- Light blue top banner totally blocks the dark blue "menu bar" underneath. Totally prevents much of the navigation functionality!
- In a thread, the new thread navigation buttons aren't easy to read...light blue on white. Elimination of thread navigation buttons at the top, and placement of the new buttons fixed to the bottom, force more mouse and eye movement than the old format!
- There was absolutely nothing wrong with the forum style before.
