With big thanks to our dev team, we're all excited here today to unveil a long-overdue visual and back-end update to the message boards which should now be prettier, more mobile/iPad friendly and speedier...

Hopefully it's kink-free, but if you hit any problems, please drop me a line.

Any chance you could get them to work updating my back end?

If I go into a thread with many replies, the print in each reply gets smaller.

For some reason, and maybe it's just me because I'm older, I find this new design a lot harder to read overall.

It's harder to read when most of the thread headings are not in bold.

I think the slightly grayer background made it easier on the eyes, too.

The lighter color (almost white now) makes it tough to browse for too long.

This is ridiculous. I can't read anything past the third or fourth post on a page.

Sorry Rob (and Dev team) but it is extremely tough to read, and the bright white does not help at all.

Titles of threads don't appear to change color when one has read them.

I am also unable to read the messages as the page progresses. I'm having to copy, cut and paste into another document to see the message after three or four entries.

I'm not having any problem reading longer threads. I appreciate the lighter background. I don't think I'm "old" but I don't count as "young" either. I think it looks a little more "dramatic" - but the "latest headlines" look awkward.

BTW, the change happened while I was reading and going "back to the message board" - For a minute, I thought there was a problem with my browser until I realized it was a site redesign.

The small print problem has been fixed. Thanks, Rob!

The small print problem should now be fixed for those IE users it was affecting... The color change on threads you've read is coming in a few min too.

I am not having any trouble with reading it or font size, but I do miss the thread titles being bold so that I knew at a glance whether or not there was a new post in a thread I was following.

Rob - how do you read back through posts on previous pages of a thread? If a thread opens on page 3 and I want to see what was posted on page 2, there's no page numbers on the top of the thread. I'm stuck reading only the posts on page 3.

Sorry, didn't see your post, Rob, before I posted about the thread titles. Thanks!

BlueMoon, I came in to post about the same thing. There are page numbers when you're on the first page of a thread, but once you go to any other page, you have no way to navigate except going back to the first page again and navigating from there.

The young guy can't read it either. This hurts my head and eyes. Let's go back please.

Scratch what I said earlier -- it's only on the last page of a thread that the navigation options disappear.

Would it be at all possible to add a "mark forum read" option/button?

I'm with iluvtheatretrash, this young guy can't read this either. The white is really headache inducing.
