BOOO

Why are we being subjugated to this again? So fixed width is back - the color palate is again harsh - features are missing.
What is more - the last time this was done was also right before a holiday or some other activity, so my bet is that
if they do anything it won't be until after the holidays. Why is this kind of thing always rolled out during inconvenient times?
What should be fixed:
Remove fixed width.
Adjust colors to be more easy on the eyes.
Slightly larger fonts.
Return missing features such as ...
-being able to see who else is reading a thread/forum. This is valuable to those like me who are posting bug reports to modders and want to know if they read my post or if I should wait for a reply.
-being able to adjust how many threads or posts per page are shown.
-having the page number of the previous threads follow the same format as threads do. I get I can open a box and type a number, but that is more cumbersome.
-I personally don't care that much about join date, but why not have it?
I don't mind change - when it is for the better. I'm waiting to see the better - till then it is different in a bad way and that is why it is terrible.
