new format for forum

Is this new format for threads on the forum a glitch or a conscious choice? If its a planned change, may i just add a vote that I think its awful, too hard to keep scrolling right to see the later posts. I reloaded the page 4 times (thinking it was a browser problem) before I even realized how to find those posts. I am not usually a Luddite when it comes to change but I really don't like this 'new' look. Ah well, had my say, thanks
