As an impatient web user I'm a little fussed by the idea of not knowing where to look! I would like to be able to see the list of subject according to the most recent post. That way you know which is the freshest topic. In the Open forum section I can't tell which posts are being responded to, not sure I want to go through 30 pages of posts to find a new post. But despite that overall I like the look!

If you look in each Forum, the list IS the most recent topics. When one get's repsonded to it jumps up the list. Try it out.
We're working on implmenting this at the top level of the Forums, the page that has the nine Forum areas on it.

Didn't particularly mean to reply to Cymbelline it was a general post! Still getting used to it!

Hi all - love the new site design. Wondering if I'm going to come up as a colour or that really old pic of me holding the chopsticks!
Update: it appears I'm bright purple. I'm sad.
I'll upload a piccy thing ... ho hum
Yay!

has the forum been over-organised or something?

The new overhaul has had a bit of time to settle, with the regulars (gradually) getting used to it. It all feels very fresh and new! I can't think of what the 4 all-new sections to be added before the end of the year could possibly be!?!... Suppose we'll just have to wait and see!!...
I feel sorry for those on the team who are re-organising all the previous forum threads when considering that about 80% of it was complete guff!!...
Ok, so perhaps my estimation there is a bit unrealistic but I reckon it would have been better to have a total reset of the forum to coincide with the "relaunch" and then just re-add the occasional thread whenever something genuinely interesting is found!
The profiles/viewers section is a great addition to the site and should develop into something very intriguing over the coming months!!
I wonder how many of the 4700 previously registered users will return to create a profile of their own but it looks set to work very well in conjunction with the forum!! The profiles which have been filled out so far are looking great although perhaps the history of forum users' messages isn't really a necessary inclusion for the Viewer's pages? Forum stats is more than enough - surely?!

Anyway, overall the update appears to be a grand improvement to an already amazingly brilliant website!! Well Done Everyone!!
