    The My Forums is in the header now, to the left of the screen (beside your username)

    You mean right? :D

    Button Positions - The buttons around the site have been repositioned to make them more consistent. When reply, the reply button will always be on the right, and have the primary action colour (in this case blue). Everywhere on the site, when there are multiple buttons, the primary action for the group is always the button in blue.
    It's on the left for threads :)

    As for the rest, it'll probably take a few days to get used to, but there's some stuff I know I'll like already, particularly the 'My Forums' quick link.

    [edit] Actually, where it shows my username and the number of notifications, why does the link go to my profile? I would have thought it would make much more sense to link to the notifications instead, I don't think I ever need to look at my own profile directly.

    The lack of "new posts" link is a no-no (unless its there but I can't see it)

    Totally agree about it being too bright too. Just switched back to the old layout and it's just so much nicer.

    That's always been my motto.

    Which is why I still have my damn sexy mullet and my living room is as it has always been, since I bought the place back in '81.

    Few things more I notice:

    -There is no visible Subscribed threads link
    -I can no longer click the thread title at the top to bring me back to the start of the thread (Or to right click and copy link to send to someone)
    -Sitting back and taking a second look, it looks massive, like as if I'm browsing the Touch forum on my Desktop (Just so used to the touch but don't like it for desktop)
    -when you are editing a post, I usually hit TAB then Enter to post it, but now submit post has been replaced with Preview, so it means if I Tab and Enter, then close the tab, that post will never actually be posted

    Same

    I like the new layout and all but I would really really miss the new post link, plus it helps to spot spammers and general stuff I wouldn't probably never think of clicking on

    But if there is a different way of doing it I am sure I would get used to it

    Same, I like the new layout but the white backgrounds are way too bright. If I could darken those backgrounds then I'd stick with it. Going back to previous.

    I like it.

    Only issue is that the auto-scroll when you open a previously read thread isn't perfect. By that I mean it scrolls you to the first unread post, but I've found that it tends to scroll a bit too far and part of the first unread post is covered by the floating header.

    Looks great. The only thing I would like to change is that the "Followed Threads" section would have it's own designated link button rather than having to use the drop down. (like the old "user cp" link)

    I agree everything is TOO BIG. Clunky like. The old skin was more streamlined. Make things smaller and it might look nice but at the mo nope.

    One small thing. In the old beta when you hover over the categories at the top it gave you the full list of forums and their sub-forums. Now when you hover over the categories you only get the main forums and you have to click down to get to the sub-forums. Can this be changed to how it was previously?

    The biggest issue for me is that it looks so big and spaced out. I don't like the big gap between all the posts in threads.

    I also don't like that there's no "User CP" button to go to your subscribed threads without having to go to the drop down menu. But I'm just lazy :o

    The subforums not expanding in the dropdown list is also a bit annoying.



    Otherwise it's not bad. I never used the Beta skin but the Search bar is definitely a huge positive.




    Edit: That gap between the posts appears to have disappeared :confused:

    Not a problem just an observation. When looking at the categories the main forums could be chunkier and bolder. When looking at rec with a few of the drop downs open its hard on the eyes to tell what is what. Not such a problem for the old timers but new people could find it off putting.

    Has there been more padding an margins added or something? I'm trying to figure out why it all looks so big. Maybe it's just all the white space.

    Would agree with the poster who said it comes with a lot of screen waste. Other than that it is fine as most of the smaller issues seem to have been ironed out over the past few weeks.

    I think once a person gives it a chance for a few days, they soon get used to the layout. I hated it the very first time I changed over to it, but now I have grown used to it, gotten used to where everything is on it, and as a result am now fine with it.

    That gap was a gremlin that got in at launch. It's been killed now! :D
