title. this forum layout sucks. is it going to stay a feed and impossible to navigate? the traditional forum structure with categories is much easier to navigate.

I feel like I"m looking at a fraction of the forum, like Iām āmissingā a lot because it seems so minimalist. Itās devoid of any flair. The black theme is nice, but thatās it. This isnāt a āI want the old back,ā But the structure is awful, not intuitive, and really there are so many good forums on the web - there is no reason to try and re-invent the wheel. I hope this is a temporary placeholder or get an actual human to work on it please.

Iām gonna be blunt and honest here
I absolutely hate the new format.
Itās a waste of space using it on a desktop, and yet you still donāt see what you need.
It seems like 10 steps in teh wrong direction when it comes to web design compared to the old forums.
Time moves on, I guessā¦
(This forum seems more useable for a phone, or tablet etc thoughā¦ since a lot of things we usually had are stripped and hidden behind other tabs/buttons)

I have the solution, or at least I have found the way to restore a Visual Appearence that resembles the old PCF forum 
First of all, you have noticed that in the new Forum the dimension of the Text is actually TOO BIG, so BIG that itās even bothering : so, in order to set a smaller text appearence, quite similar to the old PCF forum Visual-Feeling, simply do this :
1) Click on your Avatar icon in the upper right corner of the screen : some small Icons will appear, forming a column; then find the āPROFILEā Icon, click on it, then find and click āPREFERENCESā :
- When you enter āPREFERENCESā, in the right zone of the screen you will find and CLICK āINTERFACEā : OK , at this point you can IMPROVE DEEPLY your Forum experience : as āTHEMEā, just select āMaterial Design Themeā, which BY DEFAULT provides a bit smaller Text than the other 2 Themes, THEN as āText Sizeā now you can choose a smaller text as well (I personally love the āSMALLEST TEXTā-option : which recreates a kind of good āPCF visual-feelingā ).
- If you like a very good āDark Modeā -like I do- also select āClover Darkā as Dark Mode.
Then just click āSAVE CHANGESā, in the bottom of the āInterfaceā page, and here it is : a MUCH more USER-FRIENDLY Forum
( If other people, as I think, appreciate this pleasant āPCFā-Setup , I would suggest Moderators to implement all this as the new DEFAULT-INTERFACE mode. By this you can totally improve the User-Experience, very easily and very fast. Enjoy )
Cheers

Thanks a big bunch there, Paul. This helped indeed quite a bit!
Yeah is does, but thatās Discouse. Not sure why so many people like itā¦
Surprised they didnāt just make their own forum solution with AI lol
But whatever. Something is better than nothing.

Thanks, tried it, but I could also just set the Zoom at 80% in Chrome. 
So far, what I dislike:
. A lot of empty space (like the new windows ingame actually), need to scroll a lot.
. Missing the clear categories, maybe add them on the left ?
. Iām confused, but I will probably get used to it.
What I like:
. Finally we can paste an image from the clipboard, no more need to save then upload !

Agreed all layout was better
Logged in after a long time, why did they change the forum?, it was so much better before. This layout is horrendous, old forum was alot better.

I didnāt want to jump on the bashing wagon at first, but after two weeks I still canāt get used to this. I donāt see the advantage of this layout/forum.
I made a few threads in Site Feedback, but I could do moreā¦

Is there a way to get to the last post of a thread without scrolling ?
If you are on PC, you can click or drag this (on the right side) to quickly navigate to the comment you wish to see:
If you are on mobile, there should be a small square at the bottom of the screen that tells you which specific comment you are at, out of how many total. If you press that, it will open up the above and you can navigate the same way there.

Is there a way to divide the longer threads into separate pages ?
Edit - I now see the internal page slider which moves nicely , I was looking at the browser slider which is a pain.
