Taking a few minutes to look at the new forums, the overall design and UI may look more “polished” than the old one, but has a severe decrease in readability and density of information. Let’s take a look at a side by side comparison of the forum index : -The new forums shows 6 categories that are l…

Hey Falcon, I feel like changing the colour of the side bar may help as well. If you group certain sections by colour that should make things a little easier to separate.

This might be an improvement over the old forums but to make it usable I need to stay zoomed out to like 67% otherwise stuff is just taking way to much space and make it unreadable / usable since you have no overview off it. Especially on the frontpage it is confusing. So yeah overall I think there …

I feel like the index page is a bit cluttered, and messy. But i like the new colours, the text and font, They are all great. With the old forums, i knew where to look to read or post about a certain topic, now i have no clue.

I fully agree, when I first came to have a look my eyes found the forums difficult to read and sort out visually, because they are just too clunky and blocky, maybe it’s just the font being used, but that’s doubtful. All in all, compared to the old ones…rubbish and a poor effort, D minus.

I kinda like the new forum. The layout is interesting and new :smiley:

To me, the “Summarize this Topic” button alone is worth pushing forward as fast as possible, considering the sort of threadnaughts the EVE-O forums typically generate.

I dont know about you - but I use a 16:9 Screen with 1920x1080 resolution - not the other way around … and I dont like the fact that … about 40% of my horizontal space goes to “nothing” but an ugly black white blueish space-view - instead getting used to display valuable info … another felt “third” …

The new design is clunky, a waste of space and lacks old features

I like the new forum tbh, but there’s some changes that could make it even better
