The new forum look - is there a compact view?

Featured Replies

Nice to see the forum was obviously updated, i have seen it first time today.

But it takes wayyyy too much space on screen with the preview of the first post. A neverending scrolling story. I want back to see only the thread titles. But i cant find any option for that.

Some hints?

    OK, the snippets have been turned off and we're back to a compact forum view. It took me a while to find the setting in the new version of the forum software.

    the new layout really sicks in my opinion. way to many text is shown. As you said, compact view like before would be better imho.

I agree completely. Wrong choice.

I believe there is but it may be a global wide setting they have to change. As the official forum for the software they are using does have the more traditional / compact look when looking at threads so it does seem it is possible to get back.

I do like the smaller fonts.

And I do not like the snippets which consume space and involves more scrolling.

What I like the most is that it is mobile friendly. I'm willing to sacrifice a few visual changes for that. It hasn't worked properly for me on my phone for months.

Generally like the new look, but I have to agree with others. Would REALLY like an option to turn the snippets off and see titles only.

This horrible - get the old look back. This is hard to read and follow.

Yea, this is really hard to follow and to read. The font is too small, especially for the titles as the don't stand out and it look like a wall of text. Also is it just me or there missing elements like pictures. I hope this can be modified or I will be spending a lot less time on Avsim forms.

Dark look is great, but titles only for topics should be implemented 100%. It is FAR too busy right now!

Another user that's happy with the dark view, but titles only please, can't see the point in the added snippets.

The general layout is good, and I’m glad I can choose the dark mode.

However, frankly, it’s much harder for me now (with my surgery eyes) with the snippets taking up space, instead of just the Topic titles. This is e.g, like the useless file names that WORD (automatically) comes up with for a new document you create, with bits of text taken from the contents.

Everything looks smaller now, straining my eyesight.

An option to turn off the snippets will be nice, not sure that will give a larger (overall) font size, as was before.

Oh well…I can live with it.

Cheers…!
