It may be that the new forum has more functionality but its far more clunky looking than before. takes up far more screen space per message and is much harder to see at a glance what is going on.

Any chance that the spacing of the messages can be closed up more? Seems to be driven by the size of the pics of each member .. and noone uses an image file .. not even Tim.

What do others think?

I agree, but I don't think we actually have any (easy) control over how it looks and feels. I disabled as much of the useless stuff as I could, though, and if it becomes apparent I can disable any more of the things I don't like, I will do so. For technical reasons we had to do the upgrade though.

If you look at some of the demo forums at the developers website, they are much more compressed visually. They seem to exclude pics of the participants (which in our case are all blank anyway).

Good for those with weak eyesight!!
