New NI web page interface

Solved!

Is it just me or somebody else also think the new NI web page makes it practically impossible to use the forum on a tablet or a smartphone?

Yup, it's bad in any device! (PC or phone). Needs to improve.

I think it's difficult to use on a traditional computer.  The header takes up 30% of my vertical viewable area and most pages are over 150% the size of my horizontal view area (when viewing anything but the root website).  The horizontal was an issue before but it's gotten worse, every single post in the forums with more than 1 short sentence causes me to have to scroll to see the full contents.  It seems the forums/community pages are not compatible with this website design.  It's a bad trend IMO, assuming everybody views websites full screen on large monitors.

Hmmm... I'm reading it now on my Android and the mobile format doesn't seem to have changed.

the result is ugly and above all impractical.

It also requires more clicks to get to the forums. There is no drop down menu on Community so you have to click it to get to forums; before you could reach it directly from the drop down menu.

I agree the header is a bit too big.  It could be about 1/2 the size it is now, or no more than 2/3.  The My Account and shopping cart icon is a bit large and too  prominent.

 

I hadn't noticed the footer.  It doesn't bother me because I don't scroll down that far on the page.  But it is a bit larger than it needs to be.  It should be about half that size and has excell "blue" space.

What really annoy me is that the header is always on top so when you zoom in it gets bigger and bigger and is taking a greater percentage of the display area.

ouadji, the lower banner only shows when you reach the end of a thread, when there are more posts it will stay hidden.

 

P.S. Your chess game is awesome!
