Easier to read and faster loading for me, but I wish the posting dates were a bit more prominent. Overall, looks really good. Thanks!

p.s. Another niggle: unfollowed links are dark blue, followed ones are black, and it's a bit tough to see the difference. Do you have any control over the colors? I'm happy, even so, because the links didn't change color in the old template (I use Firefox). Thanks again.

Followed links are now gray, and much easier to see. Any way to make the date bold? If not, I'm sure I will get used to it ;)

Thanks!

I like the new design, I also enjoy faster loading!

As discussed I would have liked darker text regarding the info on the left.

Anyway - Thanks for the time and effort for making this a great site!

Great Board. New look is great.

Just one small request. Is it possible to stop links from moving back to the top of the board when a reply is posted. It makes the original post look as if it is a new post when only a reply has been made.

My memory keeps failing me and i find myself looking at the same stuff over and over.

Keep up the good work guys

We are not able to do that but now that the visited links will be grey it should make seeing what has been viewed a lot easier

I have a small issue with the last commenter.

Having the link moved up when a comment is made makes it easier to follow the argument.

Members have also occasionally added pictures and links, which would have been have been missed.

So, I really prefer for you to keep that option. Keep playing with the colors, thanks.

Thanks for the bold date: it's a lot easier to see (but it may just be my browser and hardware that made it more difficult initially). Also, have to agree that moving threads with new posts to the top is far better. Without this, we'd have to search through pages and pages to make sure we'd gotten everything. Now that the links turn gray after they've been followed, it's much easier to see what's new.

Thanks again for your work on this: you made a great site better.

A suggestion

Post by Mick »

I think it is better if you can add the links, View previous topic | View next topic, to the end of reply because it doesn't need to back to the head.

Thanks,

It'll do me! - but what is the significance of the star rating - and at what points does it change? - when can I expect a fifth star? or will hell freeze first?

keeep up the great work! - thanks Fatso!
