New forum layout gripe

I know I'm getting older, but I'm far from blind. Having to scroll forever to get anywhere on the forum is to much hassle. The line item in smaller typeset where you could see a whole page of topics on a single screen was pleasant and quick. With this layout it takes 7 motions to do what you did in one previously, just getting through the stickies is more than one screen.........

Why not go back two versions. Is it my imagination but there was a substantial drop off in participation with the previous change and with this one there is a further drop?

Encore

I totally agree - this new Forum layout has a "clumsy" feel to it, with the endless scrolling just to get to anything below, which one could so easily see / access before!! Now that I have learnt to see the "highlighed" titles, it is a bit easier, but still not as user-friendly as it was previously (mostly due to all the "stickies")!  (but then again, I am also older and change-resisitant - but I really don't believe this was a change for the better....)

The huge font size makes it a tad uncomfortable to see what is highlighted, especially while scrolling. Smaller and closer highlighted items are easier to see when fast scrolling as you have a clear change in hue
