What do you want to see here? Some more categories, forums, and mods? Hmm...

Er, no, I use those. I don't like using "view new posts." There's a link that says "mark forums read" that will clear all the "red flags" if someone finds them bothersome.

So I got around fixing some issues:

done
Also fixed the flaw where the avatars could spill into the text when you were using a small standard font size.

But I didn't see your changes commited yet concs?


edit: also got two alternate stylesheets with smaller text size

IMHO:
  • Usernames would look better if they were above the avatar, below it you can't immediately identify who made the post.
  • The red icons for new posts (along with the the new post icon) are quite useful in the "View new posts" screen, since sometimes you've viewed some topics, but not others... They're missing in the new theme* :<
EDIT: * heh, thought all changes would become active immediately :oops:

Yeah, I added back in the 'go to last unread post' on the topic list, so you should be able to differentiate because of that. (see post above yours)


edit//

fix polls
look at the size of the headers
get the breadcrumbs back

Couple more things:
  • the new posts screen looks messy when there are no new posts, see screenshot;
  • links for each post are useful, in the old version this was through the symbol near "Posted: ...".

About the wiki, the new theme doesn't show the pretty colors for removed/added text when viewing diffs.

On subforums there's no indication of which threads are sticky.

Love the theme. But the header of single posts is still missing.
For example:

You can get the link to a single post then, cant find it with this theme.

Also post count and join date is not shown under the avatar (or is that purpose)

I would like the red icons for new posts to be bigger
