Well, maybe not a disaster, but I do need to correct the line formatting..

OK - maybe a slight exaggeration on my part! 😂

looks good and as with other comments needs playing with by the masses to get yto grips with!

What I miss in this forum, and also missed in the old one, is:

1: The possibility to be taken to the newest unread post in a thread. As it is now I can read it from the beginning or the very latest post, but it can't show me the first post after my last visit.

2: Some links in the bottom of each thread to take me back to the forum that the thread is posted in, so when I have read the thread and I am at the bottom of the page, this link will take me back to for example the "General forum". Maybe also a link to take me to the forum overview.

Also the Membership type "stars" have gone.

Yes, but they will be back, the code on the old forum setup needs to be modified which I am writing at present and I am hoping to get it finished by tomorrow.

I am pleased to announce that the code for the STARS and "F" is now in place and appears to be working correctly.

the one thing I miss already is the old "Forums" main page which allowed a look at the most recently active topic in every subforum.

Is the old 'Forums' main page coming back or is it gone forever? I found it really useful to see what the latest post was on each forum

Individual posts seem to take up a lot more screen area - I can only view two posts at the most without scrolling

Same here.

I have done some measurements and compared the same posting on the old forum with the new layout and you are correct the new forum layout means each posting is one normal text line height more than the old. If you look at the bottom of each posting there appears to be a larger space than previous, so I will look to remove this extra space which will make all the posts the same height as the previous forum.

i don't see an option for animated avatars

There just seem to be a lot of blank space below the signature...
