Too bad the redesign can't change the tendency for the quickest comments to be the least thoughtful.

Look back at old Macrumors in a couple of months and see if you still feel the same.
Looks and works much, much better. Well done MR!
This change was enough to make me finally create an account.
Looks good. A bit different, but hey, someone moved my cheese- gotta go find it!
Keep up the good work MR.

The biggest issue I have is that the forums seem to be a tiny bit slower to load--I don't know if that's because everything is bigger or what. Also, I'm having trouble distinguishing between posts. Wish there were bigger borders like the previous layout.
As others have said it feels like we're using a 'full-fat' version of the forums where there's lots of white space around even one-line posts. Would be great if we can could get a half-fat/skinny version - maybe by shrinking down the size of the Avatars which seem to be partially responsible?
I'll pay you double the price of a Mac Pro if you could create a device to stop single socks from disappearing.
My problem is that the iPhone / iPad version is displaying on my 27" desktop. Oh wait, that's the design.
Desktop view on your phone. They are actually the same. It's just how it lays out. No MobileTheme toggle for your screen.
What's the point of an iPhone 6+ 5.5 inch screen if I have to use a mobile version of a site.
Some of us "old men" don't have vision problems, though all the brightness here is sure to start some.
There is way too much white space.
It's like having a flashlight shining directly into your eyes...

I agree. An optional dark theme would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go.
Not referring to the site reducing the adds was referring to contributing again to reduce the add space
Had trouble associating my google account. Got google error msg including "Missing required parameter: client_id" Associating Facebook and Twitter went ok. Oh, and I miss "member since".
Jony Ive voice: "For the new MacRumors forum design we had to rethink what a forum really is. We conceived, designed and developed the new MacRumors forum as a complete novel and unprecedented way of communication that connects with the user at an intimate level yet simultaneously precipitate desire to connect with others. While new it is somehow familiar."
I do love the new look. It is magnificent yet unostentatiously.

just realized that the logo has a question mark in it... haha
Don't understand all the 'hate' and 'love' comments... it's just a forum. This 'update' is ok. It's not ugly so you can't look at it, and it's not beautiful so you can't look away. As for functionality, It works, I does exactly what you expect... and thats fine by me.
Wondering if there's some way to turn off the popup that allows you Quote or Reply when highlighting text? I like to do so while I read and it's not for purposes of quoting or replying..
Gary while we appreciate your sensible feedback, we came here to bitch and moan, it's what we do!
