New forum layout?

[RavensFan]

I noticed this morning that the higher level boards show total posts and new posts differently rather than in two columns?  Is this a change?

Let me register a vote that I don't like this new appearance.  Previously, it was easier to scan through the top level board looking down the New column to see if any boards had non-zero new posts.  (or some boards where I have a magic number in my head that if it is larger than that number, I know there are new posts.)

Now, scanning through it,  the # of new posts gets lost since it is intermingled with the total posts and the world "NEW".

I feel like this is one of those changes made for the sake of making a change, but doesn't have any improvement to the forum.  It is actually a detraction.

Another negative is that it makes each row just that much taller meaning you see fewer rows at a time within the screen.

To add to how this is worse: "NEW" is an attention grabber and the "NEW" is there even when there are 0 new posts.  So this feels like I am getting a lot of false positives.  I'm with Bill here: 2 columns is much better.

I'll third the complaint. The new design is harder to use and doesn't seem to offer any benefit.

Hi tst,

Thanks for your input. I have sent your comments to the community team as well.

Thanks, everyone for the feedback. This change was been removed and you should see the number of NEW posts in a separate column once again.

Thank you so much Carli.

Yes, it's much better now, thanks.
