Thanks for sharing Jaya – I’d seen that but haven’t explored it yet.? I mostly use Ravelry on my desktop and try to avoid using it on my phone anyway, so this would be a big help for me.

?

My phone still has one “old version” tab open (I did say “try”) and the differences in how things are delineated (what some people have called the grid lines) and the color choices and arrangement of the interface elements makes an amazing amount of difference for me.??

Here's a suggestion to make it look similar to the old site - but not exactly. I found it made it better, but only on a desktop. Can't do it on a mobile device, I think

I’ve had a migraine all day, so the new Ravelry was not helping. Too much white space, too jarring, and too childish/dumbed down. I’m pretty sure that is not just my headache talking.?

I wondered that too, Melisande - I thought maybe it was me being a fogey (ok, boomer).? Great - one more thing to figure out how to modify to recapture it's former functionality!

I asked Ezra for his opinion in case my response was generational.

His instantaneous response (and please pardon his language but this is a quote): It looks like ass.

He expands that it looks like dated, poor forum design and that he has never seen anything (in a forum design) that hurts your eyes that much.

?

Some folks have posted information about plug-ins that can modify the appearance so I’m going to have to figure that out for myself.

It’s an effing disaster. Don’t suppose they’ll listen…?

So I have to ask… what do you think about the new look for Ravelry?

?

I have to say that I’m really surprised by the choice to completely rebrand away from colors and logo, but more than that, I’m shocked by how clunky the interface now looks.? It might function better, I’m not sure, but it’s causing me so much trouble with my eyes and headache that I’m not entirely certain I’ll ever find out.

?

I did post in the feedback thread, but at the moment I’m not sure how well I’ll be able to keep up in the groups I moderate in, much less with other groups that I was active in or things I was following or doing on Ravelry.

?

Pretty sad about this today.
