Forum Display in General

[istan]

Since 3-4 weeks the forum displays differently. I want the old style back !!

Same Mozilla Version and same Windows Version but a different PC.

Old style:

New Style:

More useless space and worse readable!

Agree... The new UI is hard to use.

They are testing a new design. You might get the old style back by clearing out cookies.

I already did - no change!

You probably MUST NOT delete the cookies - they could hold the old style?!

BTW: Where can we complain? PS: I hate such activities from ppl w/o any knowledge and experience..

Yep... Sadly, I remember when irrational UI changes were the beginning of the end for CGTalk.

The cookie reset only works 50% of the time. You will have to do this a few times to go back to the old style.

Where to complain? At the bottom right is a button "report a website issue" - maybe that works?

Hi @istan, @MartinBeh, and @denisT.MaxDoctor,

Apologies for the delayed reply on this thread. 

You are correct - we are AB testing a new forums experience. You can read more about what we are hoping to learn with this AB test, as well as read other comments / feedback, here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/community-announcements/we-re-testing-a-new-forums-experience-feedbac.... 

Even if your feedback isn't in that thread, I've still noted it (including all the feedback and sentiment here) and sent it to the Product Team. They're actually hosting some live Office Hours calls, if you're interested in joining them. The direct message from them is in the thread linked above, but it's quite long, so here's the information:

Hi everyone,

As part of our ongoing efforts to connect with you all about the ongoing redesign of the community, we have set up a series of Product Team Office Hour meetings. The office hours will allow you to connect directly with the Community Product Team & UX designers to ask questions about the redesign of the community.

Any community member can register; however, we have set a maximum limit of 16 people per call to ensure that the discussions remain meaningful and focused. Please only register if you are going to attend. If you can no longer attend, please reach out to me directly so the slot can be opened for someone else.

We have set up two office hours for now:

Thursday 5^th December 09:30 PST – Register Here

Monday 9^th December 17:00 PST – Register Here

Thank you,

Amanda
