Congrats Team XBMC, good update on the forums...
Much cleaner and really cool...

Also slow downs here on my end, but hopefully will get fixed...

I dunno if this goes here or not but I tried posting in a thread on the program addon section and got a response back saying that Askimet or something like that has decided that the post was spam and didn't post it.
Also took a looon time for that to show and it was not a spam post.

Looks great. Much more visually appealing. One feature I miss is checking my subscribed posts and being able to quickly jump to the last page in said thread. As it stands I can jump to my subscribed threads but I hit the first page and then have to choose the last one. Hopefully this can be changed. Other than that it seems great.

One thing i really liked from the old one was the fact that unread topics were written bold and read were normal. Now you need to switch between topics and the small icon at the front to see if it's read or not.

I'm seeing unread posts in bold. Of course, Everything is showing in bold because it thinks everything is unread. Wink

Funky you. Wink

Everything is bold now, read or unread.

Same issue, but even worse! My account was banned because of this! I had to create a whole new account to even post this. Who can I contact to get my account restored? I'm a sad panda

And that needs to be fixed asap!

Can you PM me your previous username please?

EDIT: Your account has been restored - thx for your patience as the kinks get worked out Smile

The skin/theme is still WIP - so expect some things to change. I'll have a look on how to better highlight unread posts. But this may take some time - spent a few days (also work days) on the upgrade/conversion of the new forum and need to catch up some work of my job now.
