No Registry banners for the 'little people' and now this. :s

Maybe, if we flood the first page with our concerns management will return the classic site(?)

    "Retribution"? That's just silly. What are dissatisfied posters going to do? Burn down your house, or what? 🤣

    I don't see a "Retribution" button in the new forum software. Ignore still works, though.

    The redesign wouldn't be so bad if they styled the actual post text so your eye catches it. Instead you've got to scan for the content you're looking to read.

    I found one thing I like amidst this disaster. Instead of seeing 32 notifications of new posts to this thread, there's one notification saying there are 32 new posts to this thread. Of course, there are also notifications that simply say "PluralHeadlineFormat.Comment". Some of the issues with legibility and appearance might be related to not configuring. a good "skin" for the forums, but stuff like that isn't.

    Yeah, it's pretty rough, I'm finding it pretty disorienting with the signature text the same size as the comment body.

    Also, the main "sort" and "filter" tools at the top don't seem to work.

    New forum rollouts are usually messy. However, if they have someone perusing the forum and reading our feedback, they should all be easy fixes.
