The same effect applies to the threads listed on the forum page.  This new layout gives me claustrophobia because it is like looking out at the world through a keyhole.  Not only are there 50-70% fewer threads listed, but the red font of the unread posts jumps out.  It is a fundamental graphic principal that warm colors advance toward the viewer, and cool colors recede.  So it seems to me that scanning up and down the list creates a sort of stumbling feeling that makes it harder to assimilate the content. I don’t believe most people are judging the forum layout as though it were merely an abstract graphic design.  The point of the layout is functionality.  The better the functionality, the busier the forum gets.  The busier it gets, the more successful it is.
