1.  This new forum UI is too fat and includes too much fluff and not enough real information.  Please stop making it all pretty and focus on functionality:

a) give us the option to control how many topics are displayed.  30 is too few.... we don’t want to waste time clicking “next page” and 30 topics at once means we click “next page” a lot.

b) the formatting and presentation of information inside a topic is absolutely appalling.  Why is there an entire header devoted to the user picture and total posts?  Don’t you realize we are here to learn and share information and we want fast, unobstructed access to that information?  You are putting effort in the wrong place!  This is not about ego-feeding… it’s about sharing information and helping each other.  Form follows function, not the other way around.

Fast, organized information is a pleasure to work with and clearly communicates.  This forum is halfway there… please take it the rest of the way…

Thanks,
Joe

Agreed. And the thread-listing is bloated as ever now. You can fit a truck in each table row.

Agreed… Can we get a response from the website developers on this? I flinch every time I use this new layout… I have to scroll down just to post a message now even on a 1900x1280 screen! It’s a mad mad world.

No response from the website devs? Is there any point to this support forum?
