    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, I find this view terrible. I hope there is some compact view avaialbe.

Agreed.
My guess is that the update went as well as most updates do,
resulting in a lot of missing data and missing previous default settings.
Perhaps it's best to let a few days go by before delivering a verdict.
Here is where the "Home" tab takes us at the moment:

Please go back to the previous layout, it was considerably better IMO.

Thanks for the Compact view format, by default…

I quite like the new format.

Unfortunately, the upgrade messes up the layout of outgoing email notifications (in my client, Thunderbird). The preview goes to full width with the footer block to one side (left) and not underneath the main content. Devs - please take a look!

I'm a Web Developer by profession (20yrs' experience) and, frankly, am amazed that an update could be rolled out in such a shoddy state. Was it rushed? Was it not thoroughly checked before being switched over? Was it optimised to look good on a 5yr old's mobile or what?

Apart from the cosmetics downgrade (IMHO), here are two errors I've spotted:

Email format error

R.H. panel errors

The latter is particularly unfortunate as the default content is to do with Tom Allensworth (the founder of Avsim).

Avsim has a HUGE following (and I use it daily) so it's a shame that errors like this may detract so many users' enjoyment.

Anyone else getting video adverts start up when browsing AVSIM lately? PIA.

Flying along, browsing AVSIM then all of a sudden, some bloke starts yelling about vacuum cleaners lol.
