    It doesn't show the new post tag in the main menu if there has been a new post in a sub-thread.

    I am not certain yet, but I like where you are going.
    My biggest complaint is the top 3 posts and the MtGPQ banner take up over 1/2 of the page

    I have no influence over the choice of forums, so please, don't tag me here ;)

    Sorry about that, was testing the tags. I guess they work! Just need someone to tag me to see how annoying it is.

    Testing images next:

    But you can't use regular html, you have to use the image tool to put the picture in.

    EDIT: there's only a 1 hour edit window, and it let me use a picture of any size -- the old system would have made me resize it first.

    That's odd. I used edit function and it came up with a new post

    Yeah, don't worry, I've left them broken for the moment to demonstrate that we lost the old forum's smilies.

    Here's another Con, that drives me crazy:
    Ctrl+left send you to the start of the line when editting text. That's what Home is for! Ctrl+left should send you 1 word back.
    I wasn't going to say anything about that one because I thought it sounded a bit nitpicky, but then madwren mentioned it was driving him crazy too.

    • There is no way from escaping quoted text if you start quoted text with backspace or start with the word which you delete...........
    • You cant increase size of the text
    • links to old forum are broken
    • Quoted text is much bigger
    • too much white space 
    • First 860 pixels needs take future posts and banners ughhhhhhhhhhh
    • White post background on light gray forum background and dark gray text is one recipe for your eyes to suffer
