From the very first post on the new forum, there's been no problem for me using the latest Chrome.
 
I don't imagine any one would give $hit & half whether I like the new forum vs. the old, so I'll leave that out.
 
Besides, there's enough stated opinions already, and I doubt anything would change now for quite a while anyhow.
 
I agree that the idea of showing lines of signatures is taking up necessary space, so I'm gonna hide 'all my stuff' and only post it when needed for others to see to answer tech. questions, which I almost never ask.
 
Although I may put a wise crack line or two in just for some added levity.
 
Lastly, win, lose or draw about the new forum setup & design, I do applaud the intent & efforts regardless of my opinion of it either way. Good to see something done, as it was overdue indeed.
 
Oh, we're a 'fickle bunch' aren't we? 

OK - here's perfect irony for ya'!

OK, so never mind then!    
 
But I know it isn't Chrome, because the only reason I ever installed Chrome in the first place was just for this very Forum some 5 months ago, and it was fine until.......well....like I said,  - never mind! 

Same thing here - I am using Chrome.  Everything is HUGE.
Font size is at least 5-8 points bigger than just about any other forum.

Maybe I am just not seeing the setting to change it, but....
 
Everything in the forum is now HUGE.
Font's are larger. line spacing is larger. There is now a ton of white space everywhere. The thread listings now show about 10 on a page where there used to be 25. Everything is bigger and really spread out. 
This is no good.
Is there a setting somewhere - similar to the gmail display density settings (compact, cozy, comfortable) - that will allow me to tighten up everything on the screen?

That is strange. I have tried it on FF, IE, Chrome and Safari and haven't come across that. What browser are you using?

It certainly is BIG! And WHITE! My wife can tell when I'm reading here now because my face is lit up like a beacon.  Why can't we have a nice normal forum like Gear slutz? I've never had trouble posting or navigating there. 
 
I agree with excessive text or advertising style signatures. Put that stuff in you profile page and If someone needs to be inquisitive they can quickly look at your toys. I think it's a good idea to share your gear list because we are all nerds and this stuff matters to us, but why not have a "see my gear" tab or something.

Well, seeing as you can't drive your car through a forum. How else are people supposed to compensate for their inadequacies in the trouser dept ? ;)

 
Yes I suppose you're right.....I don't have the need to compensate for anything so I'll leave my signature blank.......

Oops!  I've been doing this wrong all along!
 
(I'm sooo embarrassed...)

Why not make the forum the same colour as Sonar?

Problem with that is it still leaves all the blank space where the sig would be, so just adds to the acres of blank space.

Try the Essentials Only view. The Full Version includes the user info on the left which consumes vertical space, creating your acres under short messages.
