Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!
Love the Dark Theme! Kudos to the design team for the great work.
Overall, the forum's UI looks clean and it's much easier to read. The down-side to this is that, the ease-of-reading is achieved by making most of the elements very, VERY large. I find it too large for my taste. I'd prefer if there were some sort of option for us users to scale down the elements so that we could fit more of the neat looking comment thread in a screen, so we won't have to scroll down a lot (having a mouse with a very poor scroll wheel doesn't help either xD).
Another thing I've noticed is the very large gap between the header bar and the thread title. Turning off AdBlock shows that this space is intended for the ads. However, unlike the old forum, the gap somehow remains large when I turn off the ads. In the old forum, this space would disappear. Yeah, I know. Ads runs this site. Sorry, but with my very slow Internet, loading the old forum + the ads would take decades; perks of a 3rd-World Country lol.
The last input from me would be a bug report of some sort? I'm not sure why, but opening my notifications brings me to the notification page, but in the old forum format, not a new one. Not sure if it's exactly the old format though since the fonts seems to look new, but the tab where we usually see the Trending threads are still in the old forum format, so there's that.
Once again, a yuge thanks to all the personnel involved in the make-over of the forum. Thank you for your hard work, and keep it up!
P/S: I must say, I'm a bit annoyed for having to visit the Android forums to post feedback. #WindowsPhone4Life
