I have a 13” tablet and today when I logged in I was given a new layout for the forums.
The left 1/4th was home/tools/etc..
The next 1/4th was forum categories, even after I had chosen one
The third 4th, about 2-3 inches wide is the forum area, the useful part
And the last fourth is back to stats
The 3rd fourth is the only part I care about and the part I want to use to read and post on forums. It’s being limited to less than the width of a smartphone on a device 6 times larger. I can’t imagine what it is on a smart phone, 1/2 of an inch?
It is getting ridiculous. I'm on a 32 inch monitor, with 4 columns of shortcuts and widgets on the right side, but lose fully 50% of remaining screen space to space hogs. If the multiple side bars were able to be re-sized by "grabbing" and dragging, or hidden with the click of a small directional tab, that would be acceptable, and what most of the good sites I follow routinely utilize.
Thanks for the comments, you all are not the only ones to notice or complain - they're working on it behind the scenes.
Who launches this crap without real-world testing???

Each upgrade and improvement makes the site less intuitive and user friendly. It's clear that the design now is geared towards selling their various income sources, rather than being a website for real estate aficionados to share ideas.

Those are back of house questions not ones I would know the answer to - but they do solicit and read the feedback. I think there was more optimization done for phones this time around because the new layout is definitely more phone friendly, at least from an Android point of view. But yeah on a monitor screen not so great.

The most helpful thing @Michael Carbonare is folks like you--who continue to give us feedback so we can build things that help you run or buy more properties! Thanks for all you do.
