[i]Note that these are less additions and more amendments, to make it easier to see.[/i]
I have some things that'd just make the new forums easier to see in general, because I'm having a hard time reading posts separately and such:
Put boxes around the new post stuff like the boxes around the posts. It just looks strange everything floating there, completely discnnected.
Secondly, please consider adding some kind of header like the old red one at the tops of posts.
With the new rounded borders and brighter colors it seems, it's hard to differentiate between posts; even for me who doesn't have completely horrible eyesight, scrolling through the posts almost all look the same becase of the lack of border, making hard to find specific ones or read through the threads.

Another important change that actually needs to happen sooner or later--I don't think you can edit titles of threads anymore. This is a problem when you use the same thread for sales multiple times! Please change that asap.

I really hate the stark white, headerless look.
Users have been asking for darker options for ages, with semi-regular requests and suggestions for a 'night' option, and all sorts. Now the forums are whiter than ever.
I assume they were going for minimalism, but it just looks like it hasn't loaded properly. I cleared my cache and refreshed a few times to try and make it display properly to realise that this is apparently a feature and not a bug? It looks unfinished and amateurish.

UK time. Sorry for timezone-related delays in responses. They/Them.
I don't like this new look either ><
When I woke up to this, I thought there was something wrong with my device. It's hard to look at and I don't like the fact that you can't change the title of the topic anymore. I hope this gets fixed very soon.

Please return the headers, the posts floating in this formless white void is NOT doing it for me. And the white forum background is giving me terrible eyestrain, even though I've dimmed the brightness on my laptop nearly as far as it will go.
I happened to have a version of one of my threads already loaded in a separate tab, and since I haven't refreshed the forums in that tab yet, the layout is still there. RIP the functional layout I enjoyed for three years. If I've got to deal with this eyestrain every time I try to chat with other players, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep playing FR, even though I've loved this game for years.

Secondly, please consider adding some kind of header like the old red one at the tops of posts. With the new rounded borders and brighter colors it seems, it's hard to differentiate between posts; even for me who doesn't have completely horrible eyesight, scrolling through the posts almost all look the same becase of the lack of border, making hard to find specific ones or read through the threads.

Support for this part, I don't mind each post being separated.
My opinion: get back the old top bar, keeping the same space between posts (so there would be [i]less[/i] empty space, imagine the bar covering the date, quote etc. like it used to)
Edit: I'll word this better when I go back to pc, sorry if I didn't explain myself well

I completely appreciate the addition here to the thread. The topbar makes it easy to differentiate posts, and I find myself skimming over some posts because the flow's thrown off by not having any headers.
Same, I agree with all of this. I have horrible eyesight and have really sensitive eyes. With the forums being all white...I can't be here, even with my brightness 100% off. It hurts. And it's far too minimalistic, it doesn't feel like "FR", it looks like all those generic pet site forum posts. The previous version had that small twinge of uniqueness.

This pretty much. I like the way the forums look now (didn't mind the old look) but having that floating text between posts is distracting ,and would look much better if there were some of the old red bars there. Even if they were rounded like the posts.
