Quotes from the welcome message of this forum:
-
"It is fast, modern and has all the bells-and-whistles you might expect in the 21st century"
-
"Beautiful, Brand-new Visual theme
Why?
Because we believe aesthetics are as important as functionality. Modern, clean and readable - we hope it will make interacting in the Opera forums more straightforward and visually pleasing."
Please remove all the bells-and-whistles and aesthetics and bring it back to basics because this terrible to work with. I'm sorry but this is a terrible interface undermining the main purpose of a forum.

Locutus last edited by@whisperer I've been giving Opera a run and it's perfectly fine with the "bells and whistles".

@whisperer Wrote a lot and said nothing.
What exactly is your problem with this forum? The interface has been the same in the last five or six years, and it works fine.
It's used in many other forums by the way. -

The layout makes it hard to quickly read thread titles and reading threads themselves is a pain too. There are enormous gaps of white space, and displaying deleted threads you can't access takes away even more space. I find the way the replies work confusing, why are they displayed twice? Attention is not naturally drawn to information that matters most. You can't customize the layout. In my opinion these things make the forum not intuitive to work with and in fact a pain to work with. For that reason I would rather not post on this forum, simply because it's unpleasant to work with. -

As for my opst about the browser I was heading you off at the pass before you could wrongly go after the browser like you wrongly went after the forum.

Why? For me it's very easy to read the topic titles.

I don't see those gaps here.

They aren't, but there are two ways to follow them. You can read them like a conversation, a thread or you can just read them as you read the main topic.
You can't customize the layout
What is a common thing in many forums.
For that reason I would rather not post on this forum, simply because it's unpleasant to work with.
I'm sure you can get used to it and learn to use the forum.

I tested this with ChatGPT-4 and my girlfriend.
Did not give the desired result in relationship.

The display of deleted threads that you can no longer view takes up additional space, and there are huge voids of white space. Why are the replies presented twice, in my opinion, it unclear. The information that matters the most does not automatically attract attention.

Yes see the two Dead spots above this post for a good example.
