    My issue with the new forums involves my own monitor. I have a 27" 1440p monitor.

    Font sizes are small and I'm already zoomed in 200% for this forum. Checking the Valhalla board, text stretches across the entire screen due to the dimensions of the post modules, even at 200%, so I'll have to zoom to about 400% with the new board. Wikipedia pages are not fun to read lol.

    PSA - there is a user option to switch to "list view" that uses less vertical space per thread/post, and is closer to the information density of the current forum.

    *sigh* I guess screenshots are going to be needed for people who don't bother changing their settings.

    The "List View" option makes the forum/thread list look more like the current forum:



    You get to it by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the screen. Selecting it makes the forum look like this - after you've clicked on "General Discussion"



    What I suspect confuses a lot of people is the view before you drill-down into "General Discussion". That view now shows a mix of threads from various sub-forums instead of a list of sub-forums.

    LOL, I read about the list view, but the overall colors, and layout I still don't prefer. There's an obvious resemblance to reddit in the style that I do not care for.

    I'll hold off until we see the Division tomorrow, but changing to list didn't solve it, although yes, it did make it better.

    As much as I appreciate the passive aggressive (just straight aggressive?) *sigh*, you yourself made it quite aware that it isn't as intuitive as you'd hope:

    Suggestion: Moving the "X posts and Y likes" elements up to the same section as the tags would improve this greatly.

    The screenshot below shows a before and mocked-up "after":



    Alternatively, move the "Official Response" element to the same row as the other tags.

    You might wanna tone down the holier-than-thou approach if you wanna be taken seriously in the future.

    Edit: Though I do appreciate the heads up.

    LOL. I make a complaint, provide a suggestion, admit I'm wrong, then share what I learned. Then get tone policed? On a forum where people argue it's OK to call people names? Never change Ubi forums, never change

    I think the colors are themed for each game, so wouldn't be surprised if those are different for Division. Not personally bothered by nested replies, if only because they make it easier to ignore thread derails.
