Upgrade (?) is crap - so long. Flyer talk
Unreadable on Safari or chrome in iOS You have ruined a good thing, doubt that anyone will see or read this message but this is bad on several levels. So long.

What specifically is the problem you are having? You need to post screenshots if you believe there is a formatting bug.

In my 10+ years as a member of FT, I have never felt the need to look for a feedback/tech support thread due to an "upgrade" - a few minutes here and I see that this is a common theme. What is with the ostrich approach? Stuffing heads in the ground will not make this better.

Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what you are seeing that makes FT unreadable, and detail your concerns?

I don't think there was a video ad, although it kept happening so there might have been at least some of the times. I changed my settings to get away from infinite scroll and it's better, but still happening some.

New bug I've noticed:
Right click to cut/copy/paste/etc does not work in the quick reply box. It brings up the save page as menu instead. There are a few spots I've been able to get the cut and paste menu to show up but not many. Have to use shortcuts to cut, copy, paste, select all, etc.
This is a hilarious disaster.

Can't post screen shots because the page that first tries to load is blank and then it loads the same amazon.com fake ad/site images that a dozen other people have already posted.
Posted this in the advert thread but no one seems home there.
FT is completely unusable on my phone - and yes, I have cleared cache and files, rebooted, etc.

I'm not seeing the vertical banner ad anymore. Was this fixed?
ETA. I spoke too soon. It's still there.
Unusable on the iPhone. Ugh.

I'm loathe to do that. Since to even get to the point of making the *Monkey scripts useful, there's a lot of Ad Block, uBlock, and uMatrix setup to get there. Fixing my annoyances is one thing, showing others how to do it crosses my "actively hostile" line.
It's a design choice they have appeared to make. They've got huge margins and fixed widths set. Those right 3 columns, for example, are fixed to 20%, 10%, and 10%.
This is my attempt at tightening stuff up with 5 simple style entry changes:
