Let's just say I hate the new design. It's not an improvement IMO. Others have detailed the reasons why it's a step backward so rather than quote all of them I'll assume everyone read the reasons why. I wish everyone the best of luck reading the newest POS (IMO).
Cheers.
Cheers.

I think my eyes are bleeding. It looks like someone resurrected ClearType and set it as bad as it can be.
Who decided to change font colors to black, but only some of them? "Let's make the thread names black, but then leave blue for the page numbers, "Last Page", symbols, etc"? With a narrow font that just blurs together. So we can leave even more empty white space doing nothing.
Seriously, just terrible. Just plain hard to read. There has to be some parameters, tuning, "legacy mode", no?
If it ain't broke......break it?

IOS, safari
Actual post content within individual threads is huge!
Example, post 137 starts out “I think my eyes are bleeding. ” That sentence takes an entire line, all the way across. Like it’s 10 times bigger in size than the user info text.

HAHAHAHAHA. Just logged onto the desktop version of FT for the first time today.
Who keeps coming up with these "updates" to the website??? This is becoming like a bad hotel (Hilton?) or airline (Delta?) devaluation. Repeatedly "updating based on user feedback" when in reality making things increasingly worse for the user.
My eyes legit hurt from the last 5 minutes spent reading through this. Great job all around.
Comically bad (says this under 30 year old millennial).

Marriott Forum - tons of white space. Two lousy thread titles shown below the stickies.

The forums that have sticky threads look awful! You can't even see normal posts without first scrolling the page; and that is without ads taking up space.

In the PM inbox, the sender’s username is a much larger font than the subject of the PM. That draws the eye and thus the mouse cursor to click on the username rather than the subject line, erroneously opening the sender’s user profile rather than the actual PM message.
