Have to mouse click way more times just to get to the things I used to be able to in less effort. Layout is nice, but is more work to get the same result.

the new design is slightly les intuitive thna th eold one, double colums for the list its REALLY REALLY REALLY irritating, with the odl design i coudl just scroll the entire page to get to what i was after and jsut loko at one spot on the screne whiel the txt scrolls past, with the new design i now have to runmy eys fomr side to side whiel scrollin,g net result it now takes me longer to get to what im af,er and its a lot easier to miss the very thing im looking for
the enw design is quite frankly driving me nuts, the most popular forums listing is just needless spam(most forusm, are totally irrelevnat to msot palyers, very fwe are meber sof every profession, and youve got to be insane to be plaiyng on every galaxy at once (nedd aoubt 4 acoucnts with very little overlap), if i wnated to see spam id reactivate my hotmail account
please either find some ay to give those woh want it a wayto go bakc tot he old method (yes i know you said you cant have both but its possible that thers some way to impliment it evne if its menas 2 addresses for front end sfor yhe forusm so eahc perons gope sin via thier preferred page) or jsut swithc it back, change sohuld be for the better and this is definatly not for the better its just menaing it takes me longer to do what i want and its harder to get to the pges im after at tihs rate im going to end up adding about 20 favourites tot h forusm i actually use and enver visiting the fornt end again, im jsut amsed that an attepmt to improve things cna so compleatly mess tmhe up

I like it... except that it kind of defeats the point of Bookmarks and Subscriptions when they're sorted at the bottom of the page.
Bookmarks and Subs used to be really handy shortcuts to get back to favourite threads/boards when they were at the top of the page, unfortunately making me scroll down three pages to get to them kind of defeats the point (of the bookmarks at least).

Is there a way to make the PA and SERVER under a person's name by their post readable, as well as your own stats on the main page?
I can't seem to make out those texts anymore, it's all a blur.
<--------------------------- Right there is what I'm referring to.

I do have to agree at first I was like what the **** but now looking back it isn't too bad and I can get use to it. I think that it is kind of nice have this compact layout cause it will save some low bandwith people some aggrivation cause the new layout looks like it doesn't have the same huge parts as its bigger cousin the one we were use to.

I like it! 
Note to users: in your preferences, if you set Number of Displayed Boards per Subcategory to Zero it will show all boards per sub-category.

ok quick update on my post
it appears tht you cna swithc of the double columns i was complaining aoubt (dont you love the way browsers occasionalyl load a cached page for no apparant reason), text size is adjustalbe, although for some reason the in focus box is the sidebar and not the mian part of the page so holding ctrl and scrolling your mouse wheel wont work and you ahve to go into preferences to change the size
the sidebar itself is still irritating me tohug,h fomr my pov its jsut needelss spam causing the page to take lnoger to load, the information in it it pointless and irrelevant to me and just fills upscrene space which woudl be much better of fwith practically anything else in it (including empty space)

I like it but can you please put bookmarks at the top, as I only use a few boards and they were at the top of the last layout so easier to use..
