I don't like it.
It is way less functional and looks a lot worse.

And from my side, I really like it. I love the new profile page dessign, also the forums are really nice.
It still doesn´t have the option to go directly to last read post
It makes me sad, and with new forum layout more confused, since it only has the option to go to last post (not even last page where it could make it easier to find last read post)
Anyways, if there is that option currently or in new forums, please someone enlighten me and ignore my post

I think it looks nice, but I want more things to be done for the user page. Other than that, I think it will turn out good.
Though, I prefer this layout.

I really like the design and the animations and I love loading new posts on mobile devices, instead of loading a whole new page.
Things that i Don't Like
1. The Main page is confused, i mean, i need really 5min to find the Beatmap listening,
and a newbie... impossible
2. the userpage look like... it's to heavy to find something
and the Userpage text (supporter only) is under the Main part
3. Where can i find my own maps without using Beatmap listening?
The own maps was Missing in the userpage!!
Thing that i Like
Profile Cover, it's looks nice
Really, i hope this is Only a Joke like the 1.April last year

i think you're all forgetting that it's still work in progress. of course it's not going to be as refined as the current site we have :/
They're not done yet; yes, you can't find certain things because not all elements are linked from the forum to the main platform. That linking is presumably still being worked on.
Visually, the forms look awesome. They pop out, and the hovering over elements in the forum index/categories causing some highlighting on the given section/thread is a nice little touch.
Functionally, the forums could use some work. The biggest thing that needs to happen in my honest opinion, is forum pagination. It is really difficult to go through large threads and read back from a few pages because you have to auto-load everything, and it causes a reasonable slowdown after not too much time. Auto-loading is cool, but you need to give it more control. My suggestion is to set a maximum amount of posts to display and hide posts out of those ranges when a section is auto-loaded; for example, if you have 20 posts per page and you have an 80 post thread, when you scroll up past post 61, then only display 41-60, etc. If a person is scrolling past certain posts, it can be assumed that if they weren't in this current design, they'd be track back a few pages anyway.
Accessibility wise, things are really easy to read, and the colors contrast nicely against one another, making it great for those who might have color deficiencies.

I think opening a thread to this question is way too early. Of course it's nowhere functional compared to the current so I would rather keep the opinion till it's fully released.
Is that when it's replaced this one? "You can't form an opinion about something till it's 100% done!" lol. Well WHAT IS THE POINT IN RELEASING AN EARLY VERSION IF IT'S NOT TO BE TESTED? Isn't that the point of a beta, getting feedback to help the development?Stefan wrote:

And yes I'm gonna have an opinion, there is not a single thing I like about the new forum over the old one. The aesthetics are ugly, dumbed down and oversimplified. The infinite scroll feature is annoying and makes it harder to use.
In terms of design and optical pleasure I think the new design is fairly good.
Stuff I have to critize:
The contrast between the background(triangles, dark grey) and actually used space(threadlistings, white/pink) is uncomfortable to look at. Personally I'd like some color not as bright as white more. But you might also lighten the background a bit to make the contrast not as sharp.
In terms of usability I think that the overlay that comes up when you scroll down in a thread is very small and especially the forumpaths. It took me a good while to notice that I actually could navigate back using this just because it was so small and I didnt know this concept from other forums. And even now I think that it is relatively hard to aim. Like CS6-Level which is already nontrivial.
Plus I like pages. Especially when taking long threads pages are so good.
That being said, despite being very oldfashioned, the current design is pretty good in terms of colours therefore it doesn't surprise me that people like it more than the new one in its current state when calculating in the "old is gold"-psychology.
I'll keep using the old one for now but throw a glance into the new one frequently

I really like the general graphic design ideas, but then I also dislike that everything has to be so (smart)phone-y. There are no pages, the posts looks somewhat smushed together and the endless scrolling is kinda annoying. Not much else to say though.
Kinda holding back my opinion until it's in some sort of "almost live but still beta give input plz" state.

Yes it does? Clicking a thread will take you to the last read.Xanandra wrote:

That's how it works. It only loads back 10 posts.Halogen- wrote:

Pagination as you know it is gone forever. It makes no sense.
I'm open for changes as everything in the life. The design is awesome imo and It is still not finished

the new function for page navigation is looks modern/cool/amazing but in my opinion people not/not yet familiar with it, I had a lot of open forum online and I saw a new page navigation in the new osu forum design is a bit "radical" and this is slightly against users experience
---
the overall design between new forum looks a bit different than other (example https://new.ppy.sh/store/listing), and personally I don't like black/dark color in the background too contrast and make my eyes tired quickly
---
too many empty space when opened in the wide screen monitor
---
that's my opinion ^^, I know new forum design still improving and I know developers are already working hard and give the best to the community, I appreciate it

Well, just now I have tried with different browsers with several threads, and all the outcome was the same, it sent me directly to the first post. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong here

well i dont like it too, the forum is a bit mess, and the page too are not paged like we are using right now
What I really like about current one is a friendly contrast. The new forums have too much contrast for my taste, it's much heavier for my eyes.
Have you checked today? There have been some changes to contrast levels.
Actually, I did not. I just checked it, nice. 
BTW, will there be mobile support for it?
