I'm checking the comp board and the thanks button is there for me ...

edit - you found it :cool:

Distinct vertical striped shirts suit you better and have almost become a trademark, the one you're wearing in the masthead looks like you've just got out of bed.

I am not a fan either, The old version was fine for me and I agree that the replacement seems flatter or more bland.

I like the sticky pin effect, but that's about all.

I would prefer you stick to the original, but maybe do something with new colours if you want to make a difference. Subtle, though.

A rather glaring glitch with some board announcements. Excessive white space and title pushed to one side.

Hi Martin..... sorry I'm going to be a bit negative so I'll start with the positive side! It's better than the original version but I'm afraid on a widescreen there's still a pretty big block of "nothingness" at either side.

I'm also having problems with the mastheads (both currently & on the new version) - I don't know if it's the distance between the links to the menu at the top where you click to move to another part of the forum (eg if I was trying to click onto "site feedback" on this page) & the masthead - but often the banners drop down their pick lists which is really frustrating.

I don't like it, sorry. There's too much white space with nothing going on, it'd be murder looking at it if I had a hangover!

Edit - I can't switch back, you tricked me!

I couldn't switch back either, the link provided doesn't work. Had to do it manually, using the instructions in the old thread.
Needless to say, the expanse of blank screen did nothing to impress me!

The new sticky "pin" icon is vastly better though.

When viewing a board index, I would still prefer it if the backgroud colour of a sticky thread could be a different colour, distinguishing it even more from the running threads on the board. Some forums do this.

Switching back works alright for me in IE9, it appears in a new tab.

I notice that location has gone from the posters personal details on display

I dont know if it is planned in the re-vamp but with all the extra space around would it be possible to make the button for 'last post in thread' to be made bigger?
