I’m sure you folks have worked pretty hard on this and I hate to be a critic, but I don’t care for it. It removes the clean UI and really confuses the platform by adding things that don’t seem necessary. It seems like a step back in time where websites always had sidebars which have primarily gone away due to mobile.
I do understand the hamburger menu will remove the sidebar. I didn’t realize that at first until someone mentioned that on here. I would like to see the hamburger menu move back to its original position as well.
Also, the user menu with all the icons looks overwhelming as well. For new users, it truly will be. They will need to click on each one and remember what each one does. Perhaps, information overload. Just one man’s perspective. Thanks for your hard work on the forum folks.
