Personally, I hate it
It's hard for me to see where the new replies are, and if someone makes a reply to something further up in the nest it makes conversation very disjointed (a bug I've had with all the boards). It's a bit like Marmite in that some hate and some like. I figure though it won't go back to the way it was, so I'll just have to live with it. Still, it proves a personal thought that not everything new is good.

I've asked cr3
if we can have new/own post highlighting like the other boards... not sure if/when but that might help.

I should do that really instead of whinging.

I use b3ta on my phone exclusively
and I actually find this layout much, much easier to follow, especially breaks in the conversation. From post counts since the change was made, it looks like it's encouraged considerably more posts in individual threads, so anything that helps people use it is a good thing :)

One of my other problems is when using it at work
My computer doesn't have a particularly high resolution, so when there is more than 10 replies to a post, particularly the larger ones you get in OT, it gets squished up

Often
to
a
single
column
of
text
like
this.

And I have no idea how to force the browser to scroll sideways (which I hate doing too)

Middle-click
and then move the cursor over to the right?

Sorry, didn't make it that clear
I mean, force the browser to extend so it will scroll and come up with scrollbars instead of being a fixed wisth and forcing the text to bunch up
