Yep, I was taken by surprised when I checked a new post in a topic I posted in on a game board.

Looks like it's forced now. Shame.

Honestly the way it looks now still has a modern and classic feel to a forum because its not loaded with jank like older forums

not a good look tbh, looks like one of those fake websites that pop up from slightly typing an address wrong in the web browser

Hit the gear and click the style button so it says classic and you'll get a similar look to the previous look. I don't think there is a way to opt out now

Close but not exact. Now, the usernames and timestamps are above the posts now, not on the side. And if you turn the Columns to one, it moves the game info all the way to the bottom of the page, but still takes up a lot of space there.

Gamefaqs users didn't ask for a Beta but gamefaqs admins delivered a Beta-tier site design

No wonder GameSpot got incorporated into the URL, gamefaqs was too beta to say no

Oh right I forgot people used the left side for info. I've been using the info above the posts for a while now so the classic style is pretty close to what I'm used to.

I swear the rounded edges conspiracy is getting out of hand.

I don't mind it in some places, but it's taken over too much for the sake of it. Is there seriously some sort of consumer safety where users are getting hurt/injured on a 90 degree angle of pixels?

Firefox users now have rounded tabs/icons, now this... and I see windows 10 is gonna incorporate rounded windows. The list goes on.
Btw I don't even know how to feel about this change... over than to repeat my other one *vomits*

I'm going to copy and paste my top tier post from the Switch board:

I know people complain about every design change and that's why SBAllen tends to be dismissive of feedback about it but as a long time user I think this is genuinely the absolute worst site redesign I've ever seen. It's ugly, it barely feels functional, when I first saw it I honestly thought the CSS on the page hadn't loaded properly or something.

@SBAllen please sort this out, it is horrendous.

This thing not only looks worse, but it's outright missing previous functions that the old design had.

I never really complained about the previous makeovers, but this one is just bad. Reminds me of what happened when DeviantArt forced Eclipse onto everyone last year despite also being a barely-functional mess.

Why is the only option hitting back or scrolling all the way to the top to go back to the topic list?

Is this babby's first website design?

Yeah, also when I'm at the end of the topic, I'm used to selecting "My Posts" from the dropdown that has my username in it at the end of topics.

That's no longer there with the update, and it's just cumbersome.
