@MartinS saidIt’s amazing to think this site was launched before Facebook and still owned by the founder.
I appreciate Russ taking on board some of the issues.
Yes/No you cannot please all the people all of the time and people don't like change.
My comment
Sorry Russ - still too much stuff in bold - but, mate, a fantastic job on the site having been here since the early days.
I know squat about programming but I suspect building new code onto 20+ year old code is a nightmare.

@Russ saidThanks for listening and acting.
A new "compact" mode resembling the previous version will appear later today, with luck. See Site Announcement for details once available.
If you fix the forum search engine I’ll buy you 2 remote beers and resubscribe forever.
If you can return it to like it was a few years ago I’ll make it 3 beers and a packet of snacks.

@divegeester saidI'll get into this later, but the new design in not a just a new UI, it is jettisoning a massive amount of legacy backend code, rewriting it, and making it close enough to the old UI to prevent too much pushback.

The client side code (javascript) is still in transition.
