Is there any need for the "Switch to old look" link?

I just clicked it by accident - quite annoying.

Unfortunately, there is for the moment.
It's just a temporary thing that we're going to leave there for a couple of weeks.

When you switch to 'Cozy mode' the subscription page changes from large formatting (Like the Touch site) to more compact closer together 'cells'

Unfortunately, there's no way to have the best of both. It's either cozy or not and it applies site wide. Cozy mode is experimental and we won't currently be looking at tweaking how it works.

It seems that the script to move to the 1st unread post is acting up also on my browser as can be seen in the below screenshot it appears to cut off the start of a post

Formatting keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+b, ctrl+i) appear to have stopped working in the new skin? Anybody else able to reproduce this?

(Google Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m)

Cozy mode - nice!

Site seems much more functional, but it still doesn't look *nice*. Lick of paint still needed. Even some subtle gradients would improve it. Graphics overhaul too (to the style of Quite, Reply, etc), though I'd guess that's planned.

Fair enough... Will just wait until everything is rolled out and just put up with it

I'm a little bit light sensitive so I may be in a minority here.

Although the brightness of the background has been improved from the first effort it is still too bright for me to read for more than a minute or two without getting a headache. The current colour scheme has the huge merit of being highly readable. I don't see any advantage to making it harder to read .

Really like it. Only thing I'd say is the text under people's names (Location, Posts, Join Date etc) should be smaller. If you have a mod or admin with a lot of forum names under their name, plus an avatar, plus join date etc, if they make a post with only a line or two, their post looks massive (which would also be putting people off with amount of white space)

Other than that, in the My Forums Dropdown menu, the tooltips box currently says eg. "Last Post: 5 minutes ago (contains unread threads)". The asterix beside the forum name already tells you if there are unread threads or not. Would it be possible to have "Last Post: 5 minutes ago by (poster name)"? Maybe even reduce "minutes" down to "mins".

Yep, I posted this issue in the last thread.

Was just coming in to say that it still repros for me.

Also is there a list of current open issues?
Yep, noticing a few bugs while using my ipad as well.
- while i can press where my screen name is to access how many pm's etc i have when i press the button to view then nothing happens, not even if i hold fown and use the 'open' function.
- also the menunfor the 'rec' is extending off the page on the L hand side. Didn't notice this happening yeterday.

Also, the avatar beside my name in the top bar is an older avatar, not my current one.
