Love the new forums. Its so sharp. Much much better from what it was like a month or two ago when initially changed from old theme. Hopefully it stays like this cause im digging it. 

 
I really like the new forum design, and having the option to go dark is perfect. The bright is way to much though, swear i went blind when i checked it out lol

 
I wish there was an option to resize the whole forum. Something like when you press CTRL + scroll the wheel on your mouse up or down. Right now it's pretty huge on my whole screen. I wouldn't mind if it was slightly smaller, but I haven't seen any option for that.

Text spacing is weird when typing, layout feels too simplistic / boring, and I'm not sure I like the username placement or at least the separation between posts. And I think the "Report Post" and "Share This Post" are too close together, I guarantee a lot of ppl will click the wrong one by accident. Maybe The Share This Post icon could sit next to the heart icon instead? The "Unread Content" feature needs polish, but otherwise awesome.

I would be interested to know what kind of shiny new features the moderators might have now though, if any.

The Unread Content folder at the top is pretty cool, Fox. It lists all new posts you have not yet read and has a number of cool filters you can enable to tailor it according to what you want. For example, for those who just want to see new posts by Madmole and faatal they can enable the Ownership filter and whenever they check the unread folder it will only be the posts from those users.

Couldn't care less who posts what. I'd love to be able to filter out categories like console section, Mods section, Announcements, etc, so I don't see them anymore, but that doesn't seem to be available to me. Instead, it offers other features that serves no purpose for me at all.

Also, it asks for confirmation for the "Mark site read" which is annoying, but that's minor I guess. At least it's there.

I will say though, I do like the fact that we can FINALLY attach full size images here now instead of those useless blurry thumbnail pics that couldn't even be expanded. Though I wonder if it'd be better to have thumbnail view in post and you have to click on the image to see full view... so that it doesn't take up so much space in a post as I'm sure ppl who posts pics of their creations will often post several pics in a single post, and having that many full size images load up could be an issue for some in terms of bandwidth.

One more bug from the Unread filters, sorry. The main menu items are trying to assert dominance: <image deleted by author>

Could you follow the forums you're interested in, then use the "content from areas I follow" option?

Actually it's even better. You can select which forums you want (I have selected 'Topics' and then clicked the gear icon):

I see five stars at the top of this page on the left hand side. Do you not see that?

Yes, I do indeed see that, no idea how we can vote threads. How are the threads rated as it used to be a drop-down on the top right-hand side?

YES! You can. I was in the middle of typing how and saw you beat me to it.  Just follow the forums you want and then use the follow filter in the unread content folder so you get content only from those.
