Hi!

We are evaluating discourse for replacing an existing forum and we found that the styling of page elements gets completely lost when javascript is disabled. I know that there is no point in actively using the forum without javascript but you could just disable all features that need it and display a warning message, while still keeping the known site layout.  
What is the reason to make it look completely different?

best regards,  
Carsten
