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?

yeah i've missed and almost missed new unread replies because they don't really stand out/blend in with the header/whatever

I personally never liked the old design at all. This one is much easier on the eyes.

i'm not digging the orange text.  What about making it black? usernames, forum titles, etc..

Black text is so typical though. What I like about the orange is it adds some colour / vibrancy.

Personally, I like it as as (going too dark would make the username look more 'depressing'.. but that's just my opinion).

I like the new look :) It may have already been mentioned but I don't have time to read the whole thread: Can you get rid of the massive simplemachines forum logo top left :)

EDIT: +1 for orange. (Maybe red would be better though :)

No, only bug fixes and performance improvements.

I think somebody already mentioned it, but in Chrome the REPLY, UNNOTIFY, MARK UNREAD, SEND THIS TOPIC, PRINT buttoms appear to be centered rather than right aligned.

Hmm... It seems to break when the next/previous links are disabled. I had turned it off because I thought it was pointless selecting these on every single topic view and I didn't see a use for it. I've turned it on for now, and I'll file a bug report.

Great. Now they'll have another excuse not to release final version but YARC :P

"YARC"?

I tried Google define:, dictionary.com, acronymfinder.com, Urban Dictionary, Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

I was only able to find "You're Absolutely Right, Commander".

It looks great! :) It's about time the site had a re-model. ;)
