I wasn’t loving the layout, then I logged in and saw a new layout, with categories & descriptions in their own rectangular box, all running down the left side. [I like it.](https://i.imgur.com/NIZSLAF.png) ---

It changed on all of them, so far as I can tell. I’ve been on both “Light” (default, I think) and “Graceful” and the layoud changed a couple hours ago to something easier to navigate and read. ---

The more I play with it the less I hate it. Imagine that! ---

I’m hoping @BigT is working round the clock to improve our experience. 👨‍💻 ---

Some things I’ve discovered help/hurt: 1. Set your font size to large. This takes care of a lot of the wasted white space. 2. The new default for a link swaps the Dope page for the link page, rather than opening a new window. Do I fix this in prefs or do TPTB have to make that tweak? 3. How are PMs going to work on this board? (ETA: That was easy. Click your avatar up in the corner and have 3 brain cells to rub together!) ---

yep, there have been substantial changes throughout the day, and I think they just keep making things better. ---

Just solved Item #2 above. Just a click of a box. It’s amazing how much easier things are to use when you take a couple of minutes and READ THE FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS, YOU NIMROD!! Sorry. Just needed to remind myself of that. Too much ennui and not enough floop today.
