I suspect the forums aren't done yet?
MR will have to update to vB4 soon, and therefore this theme will have to be built to support it.

I'm also seeing this problem. I wonder if Apple documents how the Top Sites feature detects if the web site has been updated? I searched the developer documentation with no success.
From a 1024x768 resolution Windows XP, the forum has a horizontal scroll bar now 
, it'd be great if a bit of the space in the left side was gone, so that there doesn't need to be a horizontal scroll bar. I also don't think the new color scheme for title goes along with the current vBulletin colors.
EDIT: switching to "Fluid" theme solved the problem.

Why is vB4 so bad? Come on guys, It gets to a point where running vB3 isn't secure any more, as vB will stop releasing security patches for it, and plus, vB4 is just a newer version of vB3! I know plenty of sites that use it and there isn't any bad changes. It's sort of like the iMac with no floppy drive. The rest is good, but when you get (or don't get) one feature that you don't like, you get all upset. MR is a growing site and can't stay old with vB3 because some people don't like it.
Beats me. I don't know jack about the subject, but a quick Google search showed a consumer poll of the two and VB4 was preferred 9 to 1 over VB3. Another result turned up template developers generally preferred the ease of setup in VB4 over VB3 as well. The only complaint I could find about VB4 on one site was they didn't like the new theme that was being used with it, which has nothing to do with the underpinnings. I'd be curious to hear why ^^BIGMac doesn't want it.
Excellent timing. I was about to give up this site for Appleinsider to see if their mods well slightly less annoying, but now this site is so much prettier... AI has always been an eyesore tbh, but i was willing to just deal with it if their mods were less annoying. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to manage.
I wouldn't have realized if I hadn't read the caption of this article.. I guess that that's a good thing..
Weird looking navigation
I doubt it is just my opinion that the navigation bar can be coded better. The main problem is that the white border on the right of each menu item is overlapping its rounded corners. Heres a simple fix:
Add:
Remove:
Change (optional):
* The navigation bar ID is #nmrnav instead of #nav in the forums css.

I cleared my cache this morning, and it seems to have solved my issue. Thanks!
When you voted on an article, what were you voting on?
Mac and iOS blog replace page 2.
So how is it now unusable?
Seriously I really want this feature back! It helps us see how popular the articles are and what most readers think at a glance!
Good way to vote on an article.
Find it's forum thread, and like the news post up or down.
having used it for a week now in various formats, including fluid HD, im of the opinion that this isnt the most easy on the eye design.
Why does the tabs fonts and even some other fonts have to be so big?? It looks unprofessional IMO.
I end up pressing Apple - to bring it down a tad, then going onto other sites and having to put it back up...and yes my safari is set at Times 16 standard.
Few adjustments needed on this design i feel....

RSS Feed Debacle...
Wow. MacRumors.com is virtually useless now without the RSS feeds working properly. Why do so many sites "update" their layouts and web designs without actually testing all of the features first these days? I setup three separate feeds to test which one would work best for me, none of them updated after the site redesign until sometime overnight last night, and now they aren't updating again. What gives?
