I would imagine that the Venn diagram containing circles for those who prefer a 70 year old guitar design and those who dislike change is more overlap than not.
That setting is browser specific. I had to do it for both browsers on my machine. No biggie - just an FYI.

The menu opened for me in the blank space.
I'm not sure why there is a 'what's new?' AND ' New posts' on that top bar?
It confuses me a bit
It confuses me a bit
I speak from experience, having managed, admin'd, and mod'd multiple forums and e-commerce sites simultaneously, including a huge one with 360,000 members.
Each site requires management, development, and maintenance = time = people = money. Time, people, and money are constraints unless we decide to fund more of them through dues, fees, advertising, etc.
The closer one can get to keeping sites uniform, the closer one can get to:
- Consistent configuration across sites
- Consistent code across sites
If things are consistent, if there's a problem with site A, it can be readily fixed across all sites. If a feature is to be added or changed, it can be readily added or changed the same way across all sites. A common configuration can be used across all sites. Maintainence can be performed the same way across all sites.
Sites gain stability and that improves functionality and user experience.
We use software, together, to converse, get information, and buy. That has practical and rational constraints that aren't addressed by your statements:
"That all the so-called sister sites look practically the same as each-other & TDPRI, except for slight variations, such as colour, is horrid. Removal of all characteristic individuality to favour a "one site concept to rule them all" is quite an arrogant insult from a brainless business minded "function first" group of insensitive, anti-artistic, dictators"
If you believe that forums should run on emotion, art, and no money constraints, you should run your own 10 forums simultaneously so we can see if that basis is beneficial. There are sites that offer free hosting of forums. Here are some beginner-level how-tos:

They actually removed it...
as they feel that the membership here can't handle rejection.
I'm surprised they trust us with angry face.
That's a Windows standard. You've always been able to do this, as the site runs in a browser.
Change width does nothing for me. Also, no secret menu. I'm using Firefox in Manjaro. Maybe that's why?
I checked the zoom button in my URL bar, and the size had become 90%. On 100, it looks better, but usually set mine to 110%. At 110%, it looks about the same as ever.

When trying to insert an image, the drop image from another web page did not work for me. And the 'Click Here' opens a File Upload dialog. How do I point this thing to a URL of an image on another web page?
My usual M.O. is to right-click on an image and choose "copy image address". Then, here on TDPRI, I click on the "insert image" menu item, tab to "by URL" and paste (ctrl-V).
Thanks, WW. Hmmmm, I tried, but can't find the magic spot. But wait, Just under the new "what's new" button, is a "Find threads" button. Was that there before? Hmmmmm
Here I'll shed a little light on the new forum for you.

It works on my Android phone, but I notice now there's no equivalent space on my Android tablet, but which has some of the menu headings showing.
I have no problems accepting the legitimacy of all your arguments. That is incorporation management logic. Doesn't mean I have to like it, or should not feel free to grumble about the big-fish dietary habits; in go all the exotic small fishes, the out come, well, less interesting...
Hmm...double posted, There is a less than satisfactory improvement. I've not had that before.
Keep tryin, you'll git it, TDPRI!
