Mobile skin updates July-August
The visual difference between read and unread threads is now limited to that box around the number of replies number and the red thingy. Is this going to stay? This is very poor. I want to be able to see quickly which threads I have read and which not. 
Before, the titles of threads I’ve read were not bold anymore, only the unread ones, IIRC.
I wonder what the basis of this update is as I don‘t recall anyone saying they wanted this as you claim in the announcement?

The new colors tgey changed to yesterday are awful. The previous ones were bright and colorful. These new colors are awful/look like printer is running low on color ink. They're also really hard on the eyes.
Why does FT keep changing what works to things no one wants.

On my phone, a Redmi Note 3 using Firefox, the whatever-it's-called at the top and bottom have now increased drastically in size. Reading the text in-between is like looking through a pair of nearly closed venetian blind slats. Just impossible,

Also just noticed that links now aren't as apparent. Now there's just a underline instead of the link text being colored blue.

Feedback on FT new style, March 2018
That's no news nor surprise, according to the master FT new style thread. Sigh.

That's the most recent fix/solution/downgrade to the hyperlinks for the new 2018 FT style as well:

Hi florens,
I agree that it would be more convenient for regular users (and a possible necessity for anyone visually impaired) to have the bold/unbold, as well as a darker font. I will ask our tech team if they can update.

Also, when I go to view last unread message, if I dare to have the temerity to scroll a centimetre up (e.g. to remind myself of the previous post), it jumps way back halfway up the thread. Very annoying.

Its jumping to top of the previous page. I agree annoying. If I wanted to go all the way back to top of previous page I'd click the previous page button. (Well assuming I can see it with the new color scheme)
