So, is there an "active threads from the last 24hrs" equivalent around here? I think navigation is the same, but I really loved that option...

I don't think it's all so terrible, though. Most of the smiles aren't showing at my browser, but I have no idea why...

I miss that option as well but I find 'Show unread posts since last visit.'  does about the same thing.  I will see if there is an add-on that can do the 24 hour thing.

One thing that I found hard is distinguish the "important" threads from the normal ones. Except for the fact that are at the top of the subforum, then there is no big difference in highlighting them.

But I like that you can put a little personal visible message :-D

Man this is scary, i mean this is so much different but i think this will have so much more ZOMG SMILIES :| The horror.

 :whistling:

yeah sorry i got distracted by the strange smilies in here :p

as i was saying, i think this will have a lot more benefits then the previous ones ( specially the spell check considering the spelling can be horrible at times :P )

Forums with a lot of options are bad.

Disable them all.  So complicated just to post/read.

Will the new theme make it easier to distinguish stickied thread?  I've a hard time at first glance without them being a different color.

Yes, stickied threads will be far more visible.

ThomPhoenix I nearly got sick watching your post.   :surrender:

I would appreciate if maybe the text could be put on the list of fixing and to have it a little bigger?
   I've been outside, it's overrated and the graphics suck!

yes, under 1280x1024, the text seemed a tad bit harder for me to read, but I just held the control key down while I wheel moused down a notch, and all better.  I just have to remember to change it back before going to another site since it makes text on other websites a bit too large.

I like the new pastel look except for the little icons next to the threads (sticky, hot topic, and so forth) - a little too similar for my tastes. I'll just have to get used to them before the forum is skinned.

And for some reason, I was getting a slash before any interverted commas, which is kinda weird. (Tests to see if it's still happening... No, some wonderful person has fixed it :) )

The spell-check option is great too - though I'm doubting it'll be used by the majority of posters...
