Sounds like the biggest thing with the change was to make the mobile ones less shtako. Had the side effect of making the PC forums wonky. Sounds like Forums should be good on either platform now. Still a couple things to iron out.

It looks like the old website and old website forum link are now perfect again. The new website is still a massive mess and the new forum link is better but still a horrible mess. I really don't understand how this new website and forum got past basic quality control. If anyone is still having problems try https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/ as these links look great to me. Just keep away from the links.
Can the new layout which places recent discussions on top be reversed?
Going to home and having to face the clutter of recent discussions is rather annoying.
Move recent discussions to a separate column to the right for use by those who wish it.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

its because the link is for the old forums. the new link still is too bright now and a mix of grey and white.
... i know you said updates are coming, but can we just drop the link to the new forums and not cause issues? are they going to update the new one to reflect this older version? can we get any updates aside from what you posted a day ago?
I'll see what I can learn. I can't make any promises, but if I hear anything I'll pass it along. I'll also ask the other mods to keep an ear open too. I haven't heard anything else yet.
I don't know if this is unique to the new forums or an old problem carrying over, but I can't post in this forum on my main account. I had to make this account just to post here. I can post on the Neverwinter forum fine but not here, there's just no comment field or "new discussion" button on my other account.
2. The JavaScript usage seems even more excessive than before. I usually browse the forums in "read-only" mode, meaning I'm not logged in, so I can't post anything, but I can read the forums. When I try to do this now, I notice a considerable delay in the rendering of the pages. There might be two dozen or more script files loaded now, many with seemingly random numbers in their file names. And for some reason, the visibility of the HTML body is set to "hidden" by default. Some script file toggles it back to "visible".

1. The icons on the home page are stretched horizontally. Here's how it looks in two different browsers:
