    Old forum had a forum list at the bottom of the page. Try adding it back, it was very useful.

    How do you discern read from unread topics now? I'm really having a hard time seeing a distinctive difference. Could you please make unread topics in bold text and read ones with regular fonts?

    It's at the bottom as well. But I would probably make the button bigger and give it some label which would explain what it does.

    Ah ok, didn't notice that button. Could you make it a little brighter on dark theme? Older one was more obvious and the drop down was faster to use. It takes a second or two to appear for me.

    For those who might not be familiar with some of the features in Xenforo based forums, you may notice if you copy/paste text from articles or other content, its in rich text. It preserves the hyperlinks, text formatting from source. Although convenient, you may not want that all the time, ie if text too large, etc. Theres a 'remove formatting' button on editor toolbar to the right to disable that when not needed.

    I think it would be very nice to be able to disable/collapse the fat sidebar to the right. I tend to do my browsing on a 16:10 monitor in portrait mode, 1200x1920 resolution basically. The 310px worth of sidebar take up a very significant chunk of otherwise usable space for actual posts, it would be very nice if it were made somehow optional.

    Actually, I was easily able to remove it with a minimal amount of custom CSS in Stylish, but in general I think it takes up too much space. Not everyone browses full-screen on a 1920x1080 (or above) monitor and in any browser windows that's not very wide having a 310px side bar is a bit much I believe.

    Unread messages in threads no longer seems to tag the thread with bold text.

    Known issue?

    I removed that as it looks cleaner. If you look to the usernames to the right, and they are in bold. Same thing. You guys prefer to have the threads in bold?

    I prefer it as it is now, with the old board it was useful to have unread in bold and read in normal, but once you've read a thread on this board and hit the new posts button again, it's gone from the list of new posts, so not much point having them in bold anyway :)

    Yeah, I think that bolded unread threads are easier to spot:

    Less of an issue with a properly working email notification system though.

    while not complaining Hilbert but there's not any ads on the right except a single Dodge truck ad at the top right....then its just a wide grey bar on the right.

    It may sound crazy but I kinda like seeing ads of stuff that I have googled recently and maybe you could get revenue also.

    One of the things that gave this site its own character was that odd, one-off set of custom emoticons that sort of chronicled the site's history. I didn't think I'd miss them.
