Being in the centre of my screen on a widescreen leaves too much grey space on the left and right which gives it a very unappealing look and feel
Yes I'd like to stretch it out a little, change the colours etc.
 
It'd be handy to see who is online while reading a thread (the green/blue button).
Should be a little green light in top right of avatars. I'll check it out.
 
For youtube clips, do you just click "embed media" and then type the whole URL in, or just the code at the end?

Looks like all of the old youtube clips posted aren't embedded anymore.

Am I right in thinking that watching forums is almost entirely pointless? The whole idea of subscriptions in vBulletin was to get a 'custom index' in your UserCP, but an equivalent feature doesn't seem to exist here. The watched forums page is useless for anything beyond removing subscriptions, and the alternatives are getting bombarded with emails or alerts, or navigating via the entirely uninformative sidebar.

I've updated my bookmark to point to my most-read forum, but there seems to be no intuitive way to keep tabs on the other half-dozen I'm interested in.
 
Clicking on the grey rectangular box in the top left hand corner minimises the jump bar. It remembers if you like it closed or expanded.

Thanks for the response. Not sure if I made myself clear...

When I'm on the forums page the sidebar is like below. Just how I had it before the update.

Now, whenever I click on a board or open a thread the sidebar changes like this...

How do I keep it like the first picture? This is how it was all the time before the update. Thanks.

Put the whole link it, it will do the rest.

With the animated gifs I believe the problem is that they have been saved as jpegs by default, hence they are only showing a single frame of it.
Example: My avatar

The link:

Oddly it still works as inserted image in posts tho...

Maybe the avatar system relies on the file extension?

To be honest, after using it for a while, things are just more complicated. Seeing thread page numbers only by hovering over them is ridiculously poor, the fonts overall aren't very clear, avatars on the sub-forum pages makes the forum look like a joke, likes aren't needed.

Should have looked at Whirlpool as an example of a simple, effective forum scheme.

Edit: Non scrolling forum map on the left... sigh.
 
As long as it's no less functional, people will get used to the changed look pretty quickly. Once we have a new skin with better colours/fonts, and fix the page width issue, everyone will be a lot happier.
Ah, so this will be happening?

That's good news.
 
Maybe it's just my poor memory, but I thought my join date was earlier than Sep 1 2006.
Or maybe it's just my poor memory.

Did you upload that? Seems a bit of a pain.

Yeah, I have no doubt Chief will add more when more important stuff has been settled.
 
Possible dumbass query inbound. It's not letting me change my avatar. At the edit avatar section where it says "choose file" I click on it and nothing happens? Am on an iPhone if that makes a difference?
