Currently the "Old Forum" has a lot of content posted on a daily basis, take a look at the screen shots below. The "Old" forum has everything in a summarized list, in the "New Forum" there is a lot of area used up in showing the Question/Discussion area.  

That alone will reduce the amount of time that I will spend on the New Forum, which will possibly be the best thing that happens in 2021. The way the new layout looks and feels there will be a lot less content that will be answered or even looked at, which could have adverse affects on the Quantity and Quality of the traffic going through here.  

I you make it complicated most people will go to YouTube if the can't find what they want on Google. It is harder to make something simple, give us something better and easier, the current layout will not work......!!

A lot could be done by drastically reducing the header font size....
