I smoke weird cigars and am not a Designer,But the person who designed this Forum sure has an interesting take on UX.After only 2 hours here on network.office.com my mousewheel got so hot I had to leave it for an hour. So I smoked yet another of those weird cigars.... Then spend some hours in Stylish (or use StyleBot or any other Browser plugin that can paste CSS in any page) My CSS is Public Domain: https://userstyles.org/styles/130655/microsoft-network-office-com-css-enhancements It reduces font-sizes, alternates background colors, removes UX elements I really don't care about,and it highlights, with my own applied gold/silver badges, the persons that seem interesting.All in CSS only So my screen now looks like: disclaimer: no animals were killed or jQuery was used in the production of this code aNow I am ready for those thousands of questions here in this Forum --Danny EngelmanOn my way to Ignite: E-magination Ride 16

Thank you danholme, I'm looking forward to exploring what this new community has to offer, and would be thrilled to see much engagement between MS and the community on various topics here. I really hope it doesn't end up as a billboard for people's blog posts ;-) Cheers,Tobias.

Perhaps it's by chance that you posted the welcome to the SharePoint group on a Saturday, as a salute to all the SharePoint Saturdays out there. That is, it appears to me as a Saturday post ;)

And I hope in this guidance is also included usability...something we don't have now

I am not sure what you mean that the blue bars are "standard Microsoft branding". Here are several prominent Microsoft sites that have much thinner top areas and look more polished: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Forum/bd-p/PowerAppsForum1https://blogs.office.com/2016/08/09/react-quickly-to-new-data-and-information-using-office-365-and-windows-10/https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/ Thanks,Rob.

Thanks danholme , this a great community and glad to be part of it. It's not my first rodeo though, I recently switched jobs and my old account was connected to my old work account and I couldn't combine the two accounts. Keep up the good work!

I agree with some replies stating that this forum looks like it is made for phones and tablets. I got the feeling that the same goes for the new modern libraries and site content pages in O365. Lots of big icons, lots of whitespace. I think that most Office 365 users are indeed "Office"-users. With a normal screen size and no touch screen.

I hope that listing site content like SP2010-style will be possible in the future. Visually everyting looks nice. As long as you don't have to work with it. It's a lot easier to pick what you want in a list, instead of scrolling those big icons.

The my feed on this network is quite annoying. As it only shows 5 items....
1. I can't see more that 5 unanswered question even thoguh there are more
2. People can't see my questions once there have been more than 5 people reporting issues after me.

I liked Yammer with the unlimited number of conversations listed.
