We're working on getting the read threads to become un-bolded like before. If you have any other feedback, please post in this thread and I'll see what I can do.

+1 for the "un-bolded" bit.
Large text is good for all the seniors who come here though. 😉

really sorry to say this cause you are a great help @cybereality, but this is an interesting approach the web team is taking toward resolving the issues, maybe one day we'll get there.

I gotta say, I'm not crazy about the new forum appearance on desktop. No colour differentiation between read and unread threads, and no colour highlighting of read threads with new posts. All the info is now in the "new/# new" tag, which makes it harder to spot new activity at a glance.

Also, the text is smaller now, and the emoticons are HUGE. 😕


I agree, I enjoyed the convenience of the yellow highlights for new posts, also the bold and higher brightness are abrasive. First thing that popped into my head when I loaded up the forums was, "Ok... I don't like this." 

The straight up black and white feels like the forums are being high jacked by a progressive commercial.

out of curiosity, and i am sure there IS a good reason.. but why do you guys not just use a generic cookie cutter forum like most other sites use.

perhaps a little boring as you do not stand out from the croud, but at least it will work properly? 

(I dont mind these forums, but stuff like the quoting bug is really irritating)

To get around the quoting bug, I toggle HTML view (the </> button above). Then you can get out of the quote boundary, add some new text, and toggle back to continue.
