The design is terrible and it really looks unprofessional.
While the old site wasn't responsive, the design was at least
slightly better.
It just doesn't look very well done.
I'm not trying to be negative or anything, but it looks like
someone who just learn html/css in 1999 tried to make the
design of the page.
Perhaps raising money to pay an experienced web designer would
be a good topic for a fundraiser later this year.
I think that would be a great idea. I'd tip in with some cash
for that.
Design is a complicated matter and thankfully I'm mostly back-end
developer.
But one thing that I see around here is a excess of borders in
the layout which may sound dated and for me a visual pollution.
For example let's take this Forum (https://forum.dlang.org):
Starting with the names:
D Programming Language - New users
D Programming Language - Community
D Programming Language - Ecosystem
.
.
.
Why "D Programming Language" + Something?
I think it's pretty obvious when someone is here that they are
accessing a D Programming Language Forum.
Like I said above I think this forums has an excess of borders
and I'd prefer something like this:
https://i.imgur.com/OQCPojN.png than what you have today, but
this is a personal taste.
But I asked a friend who design pages for living and he agreed.
In fact he said that we should get rid of "Threads, Posts"
columns too, or may give a light background color according the
Topic (New users, Community etc.).
By the way the Forum is my main grip today when using mobile.
