Is there any way to get the forum displaying with a more compact skin? Since the upgrade there is so much wasted white space everywhere. Also a the sidebar with user details in is huge, would like a way to make that smaller.

thanks

If you're stuck in a quote box, press enter twice or roll under it with your mouse till you see a red line and click on that. The giant first post is because these forums and sub forums are in question mode. Pretty useful if you ask me.

This is Neowin's Windows 8 release - everything is huge and optimized for tocuh. Time to fire Neobond!

Neobond didn't make this forum...   Invision Power Services made this forum...  Neobond's devs modified/tweaked the forum as the way they like.

There will be themes to be added in, I hope. For example, dark theme, mobile, etc.

This forum looks crap on phones because there are many overlapping texts all over place.

Just a quick note to say that I've enjoyed helping the many users on the forum here.  However until this sham of an upgrade is sorted I won't be using the forums any more :(  The timing was awful (Windows 10 release day?!), it's usability is absolutely terrible and it's absolutely chock-full of bugs.  I would honestly accept the slower performance of the older version over this.

no offense but this has probably been one of the smoothest upgrades i've seen from Neowin

 

you've been here since 2010 you should know of some of the catastrophic previous updates Neowin has had

I wouldn't call 4 days downtime "smooth" personally...

It's not bad on a 1440p monitor, but the space could be tightened up.

"Vote this answer up" for example could be streamlined into an arrow on the actual post or something. Doesn't need a big sidebar.
