Sorry, I Hate the New Forum Format...
oh I also miss the forum tab that would show you just the threads you were commenting in and if there were new posts to those. why would you remove that?

Long time lurker/reader/user/contributor here…
In addition to not working with current ipad mini and older macs…
There’s too many ads and superfluous none-sense on each page which makes it impossible to scroll through and read.
Any other opinions out there?

“too many ads” is the reason behind the new format.

I agree the new forum is harder to navigate and the viewing panel is crowded by stuff on the left, right and ads at the bottom. Also, they should restore a like/thumbs up button – so one can agree or express support without having to type a comment. The “related discussions” column suggests posts from 10+ years ago that are not the most relevant…
