The forum has changed!

Question. When I click "new posts" some of them have an orange envelope next to them and some have a blue. Any idea what the different colors are? After I've read it, the envelope is gray.

which threads you are subscribed to?

I don't think that's it - I'm not subscribed to any, and I'm getting different colors too.

I think the orange appears once a thread goes beyond one page. Another forum I post on gets a little flame once it gets to a certain number of posts. I think this is similar. One pagers the envelope is blue, more than one, orange.

Except I now see ones that are orange and not multiple pages. So.... never mind.

I'm really sorry to be a crankypants, but I'm finding the new user interface hard to read, in both the default and blue styles.

I find the Ariel font difficult to read.

A couple of suggestions influenced by the old forum format: I'd like to have the TE retail website open in a different window when I click on "Shop". I also miss the thumbnail previews of pictures in individual posts.

Hi Artista,

The thumbnails are working now. I'm working on a fix for the shop link but it involves modifying each template - in the meantime, you can right-click on shop and choose "open link in a new window" from the drop-down menu.

Thanks,
Jeff

I should add that the UI for the individual threads is easy enough to read, and pretty similar to before. The pages that list threads are the ones that are harder for me. They seem kinda busy, and the thread titles don't stand out as much as I'd like.

For me the font when the "new forum" first went live was very nice (tho I can't remember how it looked now). Now it is all scrunched up (not enough spacing between the lines), like instead of single-spaced lines, it seems more like less than single spaced. Anyone else see this? It just looks really busy and is tiring to my 51-year old eyes!

I'm reading on a standard laptop, not a mobile device. Is there any option for the user to modify the font displayed herself?

Ah, I got my Serif in one of the skins. I am happy.

I'm using Window's 7 and Explorer 8 and using the new luburox blue skin. I like the additional colors, new font, font size and so fourth. I'm still trying to figure out what the different color envelopes mean. I could probably read up on it and find out but I will figure it out soon. Been a bit busy this week to be on the forums much anyway. Also it's nice to have the choice of different skins. I like the new normal one and the red. Nice.
