    Ok, I'll supply reasoning. It may look good on a phone, which I never visit CP from so I don't know. But threads take up waaay too much real estate on the screen than they used to. Is there any way to fix that? The text and area taken up by each response looks like it was made for someone with a visual disability. I'm using chrome, btw.

        That is a good one!

          The site looks great and works well for me, IE 9 and IE 10 The font to me is very easy on the eyes, I also like the layout and colors ... Oh yeah, and the icons!

                  things are starting to look better, but the font too small, head over to the Page | Text Size menu and go larger, and it doesn't make a bit of difference so your style sheets can't be using scaled fonts from base and are using fixed sizes. On the whole though, thoroughly refreshing, and great to see, as I did recently begin to think the site was getting a bit 'stale' if that is the right word. Have a :beer: on me!

                        It looks great Chris.:thumbsup: I honestly hated the previous look. This one is more clean and professional. I have an issue with the new font though. It's too light and with such a bright background the text gets blurry, for me, after reading a few words. Other than that good job.:thumbsup:

                                Metro style promotes excessive use of whitespace, and the new design is less functional even if the webpage scaled to 75% as it adds more whitespace to the left and right sides. 10 :thumbsdown: 20 GOTO 10

                                    I really like the new menu, but the listing of articles in the home page imho is too minimalistic.

                                      Quite like it tbh. Though you might alienate the non-Microsoft side of the user base!! :-D A bit more pop to some of the colours though, the orange in the article section headers fades a bit too much into the background, needs to be more vibrant. And actually the article text would be better if darker too. The quick answers boxes (the number of answers and views) needs a look at...they run into each other too much. The fluid layout is far far better than fixed too, think that should be standard.

                                          Overall, I like the design, some issues from my point-of-view though: 1. I don't like usability of the new forum - its hard to see which posts have been read previously, are popular etc. 2. It bugs the hell out of me to have the News section relegated right down the page - on the old site that tended to be my first port of call.
