Ouch, so much white space. Did they buy shares in scroll wheel manufacturers? The old school site was good because it was information dense and one could see a lot of topics and posts at once. At least it is better on a phone -- lines wrap instead of being very wide and requiring the smallest possible type to avoid scrolling left and right. Making the site phone-friendly would have been one of their goals. But on a desktop with a decent sized screen, it really wastes space. (Setting text size to 70 or 80% helps a little in getting text back to original size, but doesn't do much for the white space.) This kind of crappy design is unfortunately more and more common these days, I guess for fat fingers on small tablets. Have we lost all records of what threads and posts we've seen? One can't start where one left off; one is dumped back to post #1 on page #1 even if it is a thread one has been following while logged in. The addition of drag and drop files is a big plus of course. A couple Facebook rigging forums must have been benefiting from having easy uploads from phones. Other opinions and discoveries about the site are welcome...

Nyet, fear not. Everyone would assume that your SC account had been hacked by Marc's Russian speaking friends and co-workers.

youtube link streams right from the post. again NICE

Different but I'll get use to it.

I also like the ability to "like" posts. It is an easy way IMHO to give certain posts more weight, helpful in a debate

There is an Ignore Poster! this is awesome

I can cut-and-paste GIFs and other images. NICE. URLS with preview! NICE

Thanks for the feedback. I've adjusted the forum permissions for the archives, which were meant to be hidden and definitely was the last time I tested. But I've found the problem there and resolved that. With regards to the white space, our main focus here now is to ensure that users don't feel like important information is being left out in the white space. The white space is more a result of widening the forum layout, we moved from around 650px widths on pages to nearly double that on desktops, the reasons why mobile may feel more nice and compact is just because the screen width is much lower. But we don't think the white space is a result of removing anything? If it is, please let us know. And we are looking into adding possible forum descriptions on desktop, in order to reduce the feeling of excessive white space on the main forum page.
