Another bright note, this forum upgrade remedies the issues I have been plagued with for quite some time in Chrome involving the removal of stuff like backslahses in code / php snippets when previewing a post.

Paragraph spacing integrity also seems to hold perfectly in this version (yah!).
So if this stuff breaks down the road, I can only assume some mod or custom code re-broke this (fingers crossed this doesn't happen - I hate having to open a thread in Opera just to be able to post things without worrying about formatting / vanishing characters!).

Yeah, it's usually best to write the damned mods for whatever you're gonna do.. no matter how small an edit (since you can undo them), but SMF's code is a PITA.

It's been changed since. It stuck out like a sore thumb before.

I guess it did. It still looks this way on webhostfreaks page, where there are links to other "freaks" forums (now merged into phpfreaks as I understand)

I'm fairly confident that before the upgrade the [php][/php] tags had overflow set on the div/span with a max height. That no longer seems to be the case As all the tags now do is syntax highlight. Which seems to be leading to alot of scrolling.

They did. It was like the code tags, but set for just PHP code highlighting.

Also my REPLY NOTIFY MARK UNREAD  SEND THIS TOPIC PRINT buttons seems awfully far to the left, almost as if they were trying to be centered.

This will take some getting used to, but it doesn't look bad.

Design wise I'm not much of a fan, seems harder to read to me. Not sure exactly what it is but the list generated by 'Show unread posts since last visit.' just seems a large blur.

Anyway.... did we get any more functionality?
