I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).
One hidden benefit of the redesign is that it's responsive, i.e. it adapts to phone screens: everything's in one column, buttons are bigger so they can be tapped more easily, and so on. There's a couple of problems with it at the moment (duplicate pagination at the top of thread pages being one) but it's much more usable in a phone web browser than the old version
Sorry NickFitz, but it's unusable on a mobile phone (Android using Chrome). The mix of fonts and sizes, and the clickable buttons and their sizes. Tapatalk was one font, and all the additional unrelated bits were just not present - clean interface.

But that was a separate app and nothing at all to do with what Nick has been asked to do..

I'm not suggesting it's NF's fault - just about every single forum has Tapatalk integration, which is provides a single pane of glass for users of multiple forums (as an example, I am active on at least 6).

So go and hassle admin as it's a commercial decision (to pay Tapatalk money) that he needs to decide upon.

NCIS S5 E18 "Judgement Day part one" wherein Jenny gets offed rather than off.
I've watched it & part 2 at least half a dozen times.

I've never used Taptatalk, so I wasn't aware it was more like a glass Teletype. Anyway, the mobile design is what the people at vBulletin came up with, so unless CUK is going to hire a designer for a major revamp of it, we're stuck with it.
It's a bit cluttered compared to some mobile sites, which I can try to do something about, but I reckon the powers that be are still going to want the branding and significant interactive features to remain, rather than turning it into a Reader Mode thing

It means less traffic to the forum and the site in general particularly from autumn onwards when people become more mobile again.
