Could you post a screen shot? The threads I'm seeing on both desktop and mobile are brand new (posted 10min ago/3:05pm)

Also, note the messed up rendering on the lefthand sidebar.

To expand the reply box, there is now a triangle in the bottom right corner that you can drag to be larger.
I will look into IE multi-quote. EDIT: Multi-Quote is not working on IE for me, either. I have reported this.

Since the change all frames are messed up and there is no flow to the pages, please revert back to previous style, or tell me how to fix the framing of the pages.

Thanks to mr tcook52 for posting this link 
Just my own two cents without reading all 13 pages... much better on mobile, but small now on PC.
And more emojis!

I am not enough of a web-picture-thingy-designer person to know how to actually quantify this, but something about the new layout makes the side banner ads just so much more visually dominant. In fact, I had to go back and look at some old screenshots (after like 4 years of daily FT use...) just to confirm that they were, in fact, there previously. The new layout makes me feel like I need to shift my computer 2 inches to the right in order to center the content in my field of vision. Also, is it just an optical illusion, or is there really such more more white space?

Just for fun I counted in this thread:
34 instances of negative feedback
31 problem reports
1 instance of positive feedback
3 instances of neutral feedback
9 requests for a classic theme
Please fix this IB. A classic theme is obviously overwhelmingly desired, not just tweaks to the new thing. And I think most would strongly prefer a full reversion.
If you choose to not do these things, please explain why you're going against the overwhelming and strongly voiced consensus of your loyal users.

The overall thread appearance has waaaay too much white/brightness. Also the varying, seemingly random font sizes within threads is distracting and puzzling. User names are gigantic, page navigation buttons are huge yet the dark blue "Thread Tools...etc" bar is a much smaller font.
Agreed. There seems to be no downside to letting folks opt out who aren't interested in using it.

These changes are ugly, make the forums harder to read and generally just irritate me, but on top of that, the herky-jerky page loading is just amateurish and has really made me dislike reading FT. Jump to first unread first takes me to the top of a page, then it jumps down, and then it finally jumps to the right place. I have to basically give every thread a minute or more to figure out where it's supposed to go before I can start reading it. How is that an improvment?

And speaking of negative space, why when I went to quote this did everything have multiple blank lines (carriage returns) between it?
And then I went to instinctively hit where reply was and ended up restoring auto saved content. Great.

How do I get rid of the "I Voted" badge on my name?
Can I put a picture there instead? If so, how?
