Most aren't visible, but improve functionality and reliability greatly. The dev site has always been there, but Max recently decided to make it public and solicit opinions. Opinions/Suggestions should be posted in this thread. I don't like the new logo and I'm not sure about the font, but I like the rest of it. -Joe- |

The main threads page doesn't seem to have changed much, mainly the top menu bar and fonts. I'm not sure I like the 'quickjump' in place of a simple list of posts, but I understand that it takes up less space. It's like storing files in a filing cabinet--you don't want them spread out all the time, but can easily open the drawer when you need them. I personally spend a lot of time opening the drawer. Others likely don't, and appreciate the tidyniess. |

If it is a long list, I use 'find in page' a lot, and there are various quick scroll techniques. I suppose if I had 10 years of the 'quick jump' habit, I might feel differently. |
