Couple of minor things. I really miss the "View new post" button, the way you have to keep the mouse in the center to get the page to scroll (I prefer a full width page), the sub-forum headings don't seem to light up to let you know of new posts in the main forum page and for some reason it always takes three clicks of the back button to go back.
Other than that great job on the new look.

I will look into the "View new post" button to see if we can add this back some how.  What browser are you using so I can investigate this more -- do you have a screenshot you can provide?  Also have you cleared your browser's cookies and cache since we launched the new version of the website -- it is possible something could be cached.  As far as the three clicks -- yes it takes that many 'back' clicks to get back to the forum main page since it took that many clicks to drill down into the post -- I would recommend using the breadcrumb to jump back to the forum main page or use the 'Forums' link in the site's navigation.

Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it!

I have added the 'View New Posts' functionality back, it is on the same line as the breadcrumb but it is right aligned -- it says 'View New Content'.

I don't mean I'm trying to get all the way back to the main page with one click, but rather it takes three click to go a single page back.  I'm using IE8 right now, and have never run into that particular problem any where on the net before, be it just surfing or in another forum so I'm not sure what would be different?

Awesome work on the "View New Content" button.

Okay I see what you are saying now, I tested it in IE8 since this is the browser you mentioned it was occurring in.  I am getting the same results but unfortunately I think this is some type of bug in IE8, lots of users complaining about the back button not working correctly in IE8 here, http://social.answer...7e-e073eb5576ca.  Actually there are tons of Google results for it, http://www.google.co...q=.  Personally I don't use IE8 since I don't like the fact that it tries to define it's own standards and I believe it takes way too long to render pages.  I use Chrome 90% of the time and then Safari or Firefox the remaining.  If you are willing I would recommend that you try installing one of these browsers over IE8 and I believe you will see that the back button will work as expected on our website.

Thanks, we appreciate the feedback as this was just something that we had overlooked and didn't realize we left it out until you brought it up.

Just gave Firefox a try and it seems to have fixed all the bugs. I guess I'll just live with it though, as I can't stand Firefox.

Give Google Chrome a try -- I prefer it over Firefox too.
