Too much white space. On the front page, the body text is too small relative to the header text for each article. If I increase the zoom so that the body text is large enough, then the headline text is insanely large. And why intersperse videos in between the various forum panes? I want the videos to appear together, like they used to.

I know a bunch of people worked hard on this, and you can't please everyone, but damn. It's just so disorganized.

Edit: OK, who has some condiments? I may have to eat some of my earlier words.
After looking a little more closely at the current DU vs DU4, I think my criticism of "too much white space" is incorrect. On the current DU home page, there are grey horizontal & vertical dividing lines between columns & articles. DU4, I believe, basically just removes those. The perception is that there is, on DU4, a lot more white space, but it actually has about the same spacing, just no vertical & horizontal lines to break it up.

For now, I'm going to stand behind my other two complaints, although it's possible that the difference between the headline & body text size might be because I'm seeing current DU & DU4 in different fonts.

I'm sure I'll eventually get used to the new layout. Old dog, new tricks & all that.
