So the forum look has been updated again, and am I alone in thinking it's a step back?
The big issue for me is ease of navigation. You should be able to glance at things and very quickly tell what state they are in. For instance, users who were online used to have a lightbulb next to their name - very easy to tell right away who is online and who isn't. Now it either says "user is online" or "user is offline." Yes, it's easy to read, but at a quick glance, not so obvious, since the two phrases are so similar. I have the same feelings about the disappearance of the new post icon and sticky icon - a lot more reading is required now to see what is new and what isn't.
A link to *all* new posts since last visit, regardless of forum, would render a lot of this moot for me.
Thoughts?
