It looks like the forum upgrade was successful, but please let us know if you discover any bugs. There is still a great deal of maintenance that must be performed (will happen over the next 24 hours), but if you see any problems please post it here.
 
Looks good !

The image gallery has the old appearance and wont allow you to logon and make comments.
 
Glad you guys like it - especially since it is the default style :D We are still hacking away at a few things and some of the updates take many hours to run (3 million posts and all ) :(

Can you make it pink? Or shocking yellow?
 
I am still getting a feel for it but first impressions are obviously good. One thing that is not as easy to pick up is the difference in colour/contrast between threads you have already viewed and those that you have not. On the old forum the thread title would be bold if unread and not if read. This one now appears to be blue and grey envelopes which are not as easy to see the difference.

I am also trying to fathom what a red envelope means? I'm sure I will work it out eventually but perhaps someone can point it out.

Also as pointed out by someone else the font size is rather small when typing a response to a post. When posted it is larger.

It's a "Hot Thread"

There is a legend at the bottom of the forum section page. :)
 
Hi...

Looking good!

However, no more article tooltips on roll-over ? I will miss those if it is no more...

But, looking good!

EDIT: Seems to be working randomly... sometimes they are there, others not. Perhaps Opera pre-alpha or site needs some settling..?

Where is the USER CONTROL PANEL link moved... used to be top left corner...

must.find... must.keep.looking.

Aha, cool ;)

Is it only me who thinks that the read thread colour is too similar to the unread thread colour though? Maybe read should be green or something.

Nope. It took me at least ten seconds to discover what the difference between the two was.

Edit: When I quoted LancelotSA's post (using reply with quote) only the first line was quoted. Funnily enough, it works as expected for all the other posts in this thread.

I liked the simplicity of the old style and you've carried that simplicity through to this one.

Very nice :)
