Not sure about the icons showing which threads have new posts? Seems a little unclear to me (Black & blue) but other than that I quite like it and I HATE change! Posters details are better on the left IMHO.

Cheers Phil.

It's really difficult to see what are stickies and what aren't. Is there any way of making them more obvious? A brightly coloured icon or something, because right now all the icons look the same unless scrutinised.

My only gripe is that the Forum name isn't that easy to distinguish when using the 'View Unread Posts' view. Would it be possible for the forum to be shown in Bold?

eg:

instead of the current layout

Not sure if this has already been covered, but since using the new layout I find it hard to see any links that's have been cut and pasted. It almost appears as one word such as this http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 3&start=30

Is there any chance to make it BOLD or maybe a different colour?

Cheers

+1, or maybe underline it as it appears when you roll over it?

Tried some colours and they just looked wrong, so opted for a simple underline which seems to be just the job?

That was an epic fail!!!! Reverted back to default as the style affects all links in the forum.... Not a 5 min job.
