    I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like any of the new changes. Oh well.

    I'm going to second what Snark said above, just looks a tad too large with the streamlining/minimizing of everything else.

    Looks good, though. Good work. :)

    Yeah, I agree the buttons need a slight rethinking. Oh well, one thing at a time.

    I have smaller buttons that are thematically similar to the accent pieces (like the quick reply bar) that I've been sitting on for a while. Discuss.

    You make alternate forum buttons in your spare time? :wtf:

    Note that if you hover on the date/time, it will give you the post number (in case you really want to know ;) )

    I like it. I always thought the forums awards to be a bit tacky. :P

    Is anyone seeing problems with "View First Unread" since this change? Seems like new posts that are on the same page as the first fail to redirect to the thread. View new works if the new posts are on the following pages.

    You're talking about clicking the thread title from Last Post column on the forum home page? And you're saying it won't skip down the page automatically if the first new post in still on the first page? That's been working fine for me - that bit I actually tested :)

    Works okay for me as well.

    When I click on the link in the UserCP, it often doesn't scroll down to the new post.

    The links from UserCP / My Account never did, to my knowledge. If you look at the URL, it doesn't have the goto=newpost attached to it.

    I think it looks great Keebs.

    The few times that post titles show, the font looks awfully big and out of place. I liked it better when post titles were tiny and easy to miss (since that's about how important they are).

    Can we add that in? I often times just go there to check the threads I'm subscribed to.

    Thread titles are a bug right now. The front page/forum bridge needs another couple of tweaks to prevent the default title from showing on stuff posted to the article comments.

    They might still be too big, but the inconsistency at least is known and being worked on.

    I've ported a slimmed-down version of the postbit to the front page - now your avatars and user titles will show up there as well.

    Also, I enabled Gravatars for guests, which means that guest posters with a Gravatar.com account will automatically have their avatars appear despite not being registered here. Pretty slick feature from Wordpress :D

    For an example, see the post by Tom (#11) in the recent SSD article - his avatar is there, and he's a guest.

    Gravatars now work in the forum too.

    //edit: Also, now if guests fill in their "home" URL, their name will link there (both on the front page and in the forum) - and I did it with the "nofollow" attribute so search engines won't weight it (so spamming that way would be worthless)

    That's friggin' sweet! The seams are disappearing :thumbsup:

    On my last gripe, I'd still love it if the UserCP links went to the most recent post. I guess it has never been set up that way before, but I can only see adding the goto=newpost as an enhancement.
