    Will there be an option for different forum skins? This gray sea of gray grayness is depressing......

    Is there a way to see if other members are online in a forum so I know if I'm in a room talking to myself?

    That's what those little blue bullet points on the Watched Threads page are: unlabeled (except on mouseover) first-unread links.

    While we're talking about it, a usability complaint: those little blue bullet points are great if you're using a mouse, but horrible for touch interfaces. There should at least be an option to make them about ten times as large.

    I have tried to rep different people and posts, and this message comes up...

    "The following error occured: The server did not respond in time. Please try again."

    It's been like that for me for about 30 minutes now.

    Agree on both YouTube videos in the signature and the avatars.

    Does anyone know how to scroll when you are posting a reply on an iPad? Makes it almost impossible to multi quote without using a pc.

    What happened to my Rep? I had 103 Rep points, now I only have 35 :/ (Is this affected by the threads still being imported?)

    Thanks for all the hard work! I takes some getting used to, but I'll give it a chance.

    Something I haven't been able to find: I used to be able to download and then delete PMs. Since PMs seem to have been replaced by "Conversations" - how do I remove those from the system?

    I think it's kinda weird that the little picture next to each thread is the thread-starter's avatar. Is it going to stay that way?

    Everything is affected by the ongoing import. Just take a deep breath and relax and I will post when the import is done, all the counters are updated, etc.

    On the forum page listing of threads, go down to the bottom of the page and select Thread Display Options.

    That's for forums only. That shows the newest threads first. We want to be able to have the newest post up top in each thread.

    How do I navigate between forums faster? Besides going to "Forum" then scrolling down to say... "USA Men"? Is there something I need to be doing or is that function not up yet? Basically I want something similar to the subscribe to thread feature that was in the old format.

    The little button by threads that takes you to the first unread post is slightly too small for my fingers to effectively tap on the iPad without hitting something else.

    This situation makes me feel somewhat like Homer Simpson despite working 30 lbs of flab off last year. Which makes me sad.

    I would appreciate slightly larger buttons in order to restore my happiness.

    I have a really frivolous comment that I haven't seen mentioned. Apparently, the avatar limit is 10kb. Pretty limited! I tried a few possible graphics and could not get them small enough, and I ended up with this (for today anyway). But I notice that others have larger avatars because I was, yes, petty enough to download them and check the size.

    It was 50 kb when I uploaded mine, and I had to reduce the quality of the jpg to get it under that. One thing I've noticed though, is that the form says to upload at least 200x200, but the site doesn't seem to display it any larger than 192x192 anywhere, so you can reduce the dimensions to save some of the filesize.

    I have disabled ALL Alerts in the "Alerts Preference" page of my profile, but I am still getting alerts.

    I have not been able to find the page on my profile to disable ALL email notifications. Not having to constantly delete BigSoccer email notifications of replys to forum posts, new posts creations, etc ... in my subscribed forums or threads would be greatly appreciated.

    Problems:
    1 - no access to mod forum.
    2 - multiquote does not work for me on multiple pages. When I switch a page, the quote goes away.
    2a - Also, it is annoying that when the quote button is clicked, it brings us down to the quote box. This is a problem when wanting to multiquote.
    3 - The alerts (which I like) do not go away when I go the thread alerted.
    4 - edit thread is set at "0" (zero) minutes (never mind - fixed. But what is the time length?)

    Suggestions:
    1 - make the "open quick navigation" buttons bigger, as mentioned in another thread.
    2 - As said by Heart and Soul, make the time stamp be the top of the post.
    3 - Those soft grey mouse-over things (page numbers of thread, edit/delete/report at bottom of post, etc.) need to become easier to see.
    4 - left navigation.
    5 - removed images/youtube from signatures.

    Android fail. If I can't get text wrapping, using the phone to view the forum is all but useless, that would be very sad.

    Being able to read the text at all is the most important necessity in a forum
