Update...
I guess I'm out unless I use the Android app for AC.
Still unable to reply via Chrome or Firefox now.

Edit:
I can reply under Edge.

For those that are here with the new design activated, we ask that you kindly provide your feedback below.

Thank you in advance for your help, we can't do this without you!!

We appreciate your effort and hard work you put in make this awesome new design work, we are really grateful at least I can now understand what I'm doing and easy surfing with each forum...

I really love this new forum style. That's more direct and objective. Better layout, more elegant and funny.

Hi, I clicked on the link to test the design, and now I'm stuck with it, I can't go back to the traditional style. What am I missing?

One function that I like is that now automatically jumps to the first unread. I was used to using the small icon for that. When it jumps to the first unread though, it cuts right to the text. The Avatar is cut off and you don't see the text bubble, so visually it looks a little strange.

In your account settings, near the bottom, there is a yes/no toggle for "help us test...".

Sorry G_Unit MVP this isn't directed at you....

Hey forum support!!! Why don't you provide this info for users to get back to the existing design when providing the same to test the new one? C'mon man! It's been asked numerous times already.... Us forum regulars shouldn't have to continue to do it for you!

Yes, please! Bet you're already making one as we speak.

I didn't need to use the small icon for that, clicking the thread title did it for me previously.

Please standby, technical difficulties are preventing me from making the video, BUT they should be resolved shortly and I will have the video as soon as I can!

Not sure how I like the numbers instead of the generic icons.



Maybe if the icon was smaller it wouldn't seem so strange. It's slightly distracting to see so many numbers as your scrolling through a forum.

On a slightly unrelated topic, there is still a lot empty distracting empty space. Perhaps it wouldn't be as bad if the grid lines came back to help separate forums/topics.

OR just a tad LESS space on the spacing?

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

In general I like the fonts and dark theme, but seems like a lot of wastes space. Ads eat up too much room on side of forum and spacing is too big.

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

How hard would it be to implement spacing like we see in Gmail? Seems like a comfortable (what we have now), cozy, and compact option would satisfy a lot, if not most, of the folks that have commented here.

Nice(r)! Saw this just today, am all caught up then.

It's definitely on our radar but for the next few weeks we will need to focus on getting these new changes live and trouble shooting after. Good idea though!

Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!

Clicking on Participated used to show the sub-forum name in which a thread lives. That column is missing. Is that temporary? The sub-forum link is a useful shortcut.

100% agree with this, this was useful. I'm also curious how the threads will display there when a new response is posted.
