No just a bit more development needed. Give him a chance guys. Adders fixed stuff in the past, hopefully he will again :-)

2 main gripes.
Text too large on forum list.
Can't tell which posts have been read by myself and which haven't. Not at a glance anyway.
Once in the thread it's ok, except for immediately going to page one.

I think that it has lost the forum feel, and looks more like a string of text messages. This works well on my htc phone, but on a larger screen, it's hard on my eyes. I think that's because it's harder to scan a thread, as my eyes tend lock onto each post before moving on.

Overall though, the pages look cleaner

and thanks Dave for valuing my opinion.
because I'm so inclined .....

Ok, nothing we can't fix here I think.

We've just refreshed the text sizing and the header layout so the "recent posts" and the "forum index" are now similar in size to the old format.

Snapzz - we've dropped the header completely, and thinned down the post form for the smallest screens so your iPhone should look a lot better now.

That's excellent feedback, and I agree. For wider screens we'll drop the user info and some of the buttons into a vertical format like the old layout. Separation between the posts will be reduced so should be easier to scan.

It's surprised us how many people use the iPad (and other tablets) in portrait format when browsing and we will revisit that layout shortly.

Carry on... 8)

Admin, the decreased size is indeed an improvement but i would suggest doubling the adjustment it.....its still a little large.

What do the colours mean? ie some are surrounded by an orange border.
When I click on the button to read the latest posts, it only brings up new topics posted, not new replies to existing topics. Is that correct? If so, I don't like it. I can never remember which topic discussions I have previously visited so I like to just pick up on the latest replies posted.
