There are some good innovations on the new board BUT personally would like to see restored.

1. avatars/member info positioned back on the left of the screen
2. ability to click on "replies" and see who has posted (and by how many) in a thread
3. the displayed names of which members are active in a particular thread.

I also think,
The red bars that separate posts and sections of the forum are miles too thick, they tend to dominate the page.
The "related" topics are a waste of time, for example, look at the "related topics listed on this page , we're talking about forum changes and one of the generated related topics is "Books - Suggestions"

:laugh:

Anyone else finding that they don't stay logged in during a session?  I just tried to post in the match thread and I was logged out before I could submit the post. ???

The only major gripe I have with new forum is you have lost easily navigation to last post of a thread from main index.
The rather cumbersome having to go into specific sub forum and into thread is major drawback
Other then that it's a winner for me

There is a box when you sign in that automatically keeps you signed in

80x80 for avatars is a bit small.
Also the file size for the avatars is tiny considering the size (file & dimensions) that are allowed in signatures!
I'd also prefer the avatars on the left, not the right, but that's just personal preference!

Beside that, massive improvement! Thanks!

The thing that bugs me is that clicking on a topic doesn't take you to the last page, instead it starts at page 1 which would have been a nightmare in the old Hicks and Gillett thread ;-), surely this can be fixed, other than that I quite like the new design.

Don't click on the topic, instead when you're looking at the topic menu screen if you look on the right you'll see who (and when) was the last person to post in the thread. Click on the tiny box next to their name and it will take you to that post.

Sorry, even in this new board, Heimdall's avatar makes me wet myself.

Post more dude, I'm sick
