The site works fine for me. The cleaner design makes it easier for my old eyes. Less zooming and panning required on the phone. As with any design, there are some quirks that I thought I would point out just in case the observations are useful for the administrators or other users. My regular browser is Opera 40 running in Windows 10. I also found similar behavior in Chrome and Edge browsers on the same Win 10 machine.
1. Columns disappear if I zoom in too much. In Opera, the Replies/Views and Last Post columns and log-in info on the index pages disappear when going over 150% zoom. In Edge this happens when going over 235% zoom. I assume that the exact level at which this happens depends on the default font lettings in the browser. These zooms levels are adequate for me. However, a person with more significant visual problems may find this a problem. If you are missing these columns, try zooming out a little bit.
2. A rather wide column on the right side of the index pages is devoted to check boxes. Not really sure of the purpose. I'm assuming it's for the purpose of selecting multiple threads so they can be marked as read. I cannot really test that because I unintentionally discovered that clicking "mark read" without any selections will mark all threads on the board as read. If possible, it would be better if the "mark read" button only worked on selected threads. Anyone wanting to mark all could use the select all box on top of the column. Also, It would be better if the proportion of the screen width devoted to the check box column could be reduced.
