As I said in the other thread, there need to be more borders. Right now everything just runs into everything else. Put a border underneath the thread title and timestamp of each post (or slightly change the color of that area) and put a border between the post and the avatar area on the left. Then add much bolder borders between each thread when looking at each forum section.

Carriage returns don't work in here as has been mentioned unless I hand code the break into it.
And there's not enough difference between the threads read and those unread to make it easy to see which are new... more as I play in here.

Pretty sure Pongky doesn't work for FS anymore.
Anyway, I too, cannot stand this new look. The forums see to load and respond slower too.

I wish a site owner would drop in and talk to us about it. I can't test a link from the message posting unless I right-click on it and choose new tab. I still hate having to confirm marking all messages as read and the lack of distinct highlighting between the upper section where threads are stickied and the newer ones below makes for a tougher time seeing the difference in them.
While I'm behind you all the way, the option to have links open in new pages exists. You have to select the option though, which is pretty sad. The default is set to have links open within the existing window. Anyway, the oprtions are in a pull down menu at the bottom of the box that appears when you add a link.
I call for dark blue with white text for the stickied threads.
The extra spaces that the forum automatically throws into quoted posts is really, really pissing me off. I don't like wasting space, so I have to spend an extra 10 seconds every time I write a post with a quote in it editing the HTML so that the extra spaces don't appear.

Nice to see posting again, Pammy. Another concern of ours is the lack of a significant contrast between stickied threads and our regular posts. Can we get a darker blue to represent the sticked? The colors just kinda run together as it stands. Thanks!
One last thing. Prior to the update, moderators had the option to edit their log in names. Can that feature be reinstated?
That's what I've always seen, but not here. Maybe a switch isn't set?

Is there anyone I can write and ask that a simple "Mark ALL posts read" be added to the main forum page? Every other forum I'm on allows me to reset the counter on all threads at once.
Each community is different, but there should be a quicklinks module on the main forum page, where you can mark all messages as read/new.
Also, could you maybe make links a litle bit darker, as currently some of them are hard to see sometimes. Might just be my monitor though, but there are a few links that are hard to see sometimes.

Agreed. Black and navy text are not very easy to distinguish between. Especially since the link is no longer underlined.
