    Hello, there is an option to change the layout on the main page and I wanted to know your opinion.

    Single Column.jpg

    In one hand, i'm more used to Single Column (on the screenshot above), but then Double Column is much more compact. Yet i find it hard to navigate on the Double Column layout... maybe it's just a matter of habit?

    I'm a single column fan, too :thumbsup:
    If there are many people who prefer the current style maybe adding a different forum theme in the options would be a possibility?

    Single would work better, I think, for those of us with smaller screens.

    I like the single layout better...
    it is more relaxing on the eye to me

    On double Layouts (like AZ) i find myself often scrolling twice through the page.

    I suppose that this is not a problem for piano players that are used to read scores on the fly, but for ordinary guys, i think it is more challenging

    I think both layouts are fine. It's just that the single coloumn layout is better executed since it's already been refined.

    If you take some time perfecting the double coloumn layout im sure it will be just as good of an experience as single layout.

    I'm currently really enjoying double coloumn even though I'm used to single coloumn.

    You should also have a 'both' option in your poll :)

    Single column option is more transparent and also looks better.

    Single column <=> Straight to the point.
    We are used to it, for sure.
