I've had this "upgrade" done on several forums and sites.. same thing happens. CPU goes to the moon with the unlimited scroll. bout blew my 15" MBP the first time I opened up about 10 tabs. I really hate this process and skin, but the forum owners say they can manage the site and the ad space more easily and efficiently. Great!

I found the top and bottom bars very annoying on my MB Air as they took a huge chunk of space. Also scrolling was clunky.
Thanks for the tip on removing "Infinite Scrolling" in settings. It seems to have got rid of them both. ^
Initial view: Would prefer the previous colour version, this is garish.

Can you please post a screenshot of the mobile Likes on your end? On my phone they're very small and almost unnoticeable.

Is there a reason (apart from the designer’s dented pride) why the previous design can’t be reinstated?

Thanks for replying. I assumed it’s working as designed - my complaint is that the design is horrible. It has introduced many poor features. It has solved no problems that I can see. What on earth is the change supposed to have achieved?

Seriously, I hate likes, but if they must be foisted upon us along with everything else, as big as two lines of text is absurd.

Not liking the new format. Was away for a few weeks and come back to find a new format. Trying to go back to first unread post and in some cases (long threads), I am not taken to the first unread post. For example, my last visit was Oct 28, but I'm only taken back to Nov 8 in long threads. Also, long threads no longer seem to have the option for you to choose which page to go to (this would be a workaround for the problem I just mentioned) or at least I can't figure out how to choose a page - no number of pages is shown within the thread.

I hope you mean that you are passing feedback to those at the other end of the chain, but aren’t able (understandably) to share details at the moment. If that is the case then thank you and good luck.
Switching off infinite scroll has helped greatly (thanks again), so for me the forum now works nearly as well as it did, but just looks twice as ugly. I have heard that this effect is called progress.
