That's got me a couple of times. So used to seeing the padlock on the thread status icon. I'll get used to it eventually.

Privacy Badger. Works on all sites and stops Google and Facebook (and others) from tracking you across the web.

seems to have improved a bit from last time I was on so at least its going in the right direction, I'm not sure if I like it yet still though lol but it is better than a couple of days ago

Nah, I can't look at the blue theme for more than a minute or so before I have a splitting headache. Just got the lowdown from Wiiija on how to get the old icons back into the dark theme.

'New Posts' doesn't show the forum section that the thread sits in, pain in the backside to try and determine what threads sit in what forum section.
It does..?

It does, but it isn't very clear. Would be nice if it was in a seperate column like before, or at least bold and coloured.

Members online at the bottom, needs the top line taken away from above the first row of usernames.

Someone posted a screenshot of how it would look in yellow, looked a lot better.

My bad you are right.
Yeah this whole new forum isn't very clear to be honest, messy
Hopefully it can be salvaged with some work

With a forum open there's a 'Last Message' column that shows you get the poster's name and when it was.
On PC with Chrome I can click on the when it happened text and it works as a link and takes me to the last message in that thread.
It doesn't work as a link on iOS/Android or using Edge on PC.
Edit: Just realised that it only works it you're logged on and isn't browser/platform specific.

Since my observations above, I can see a lot of changes and it does appear to be improving. Still not as space efficient or as easy to read as before (honestly the old 'Forums' > 'Sub-Forum' > 'Thread' text layout was and is still by far the best layout of any of the forum applications, space efficient and worked equally well on mobile when you wanted to view in desktop mode)
The spacing and layout still isn't very efficient making harder to read.
The horizontal blue line between threads really needs to be increased in thickness to 2 or 3 pixels. Readability would be much impoved purely due to the easy to see borders/boundaries.
Also the quick comment box, really could do with a different or darker coloured background to make it stick out more.
Anyhow, keep up the good work. (as someone else said, the change is very like the change to the website. Snazzier looking with some new features, but harder/more awkward to use that the previous version)

I've had them off for years, it's so much cleaner and nicer to browse with them off.

It makes everything too difficult. I have to look at peoples usernames and try and remember who they are. With the sigs you can quickly remember.
I used to do that but I noticed that @Von Smallhausen sig was stolen recently, I don't think that should be allowed tbh. Turning them off has eliminated the ambiguity.

New forum/layout, same old rude you. GG
Good to see the changes and tweaks happening to the forum to make it more useable and easy to view - cheers to all those making the changes o./

Is there a way to open the first page? With question threads that stretch over more than say 5 pages if you click the link it takes me to the last page and there's no way to open the first page?
