I usually dislike dark themes, but your example is very nice.. I could probably get used to something like that. I wish I knew how to change .CSS on my iOS devices.A little something I've been working on
Great new site design Arn. Works really nice in mobile Safari as well. Thanks for the avatar privilege!
anyway of getting a new apple logo emoji? or is that an unfortunate loss in this transition. Again, great work on the new forum layout.

Ah. I use Tapatalk for mobile viewing so I can access the various forums I read from one spot.
I'm a big fan of the "New Posts" button in the submenu at the top of the page. However, I would like to know if there is a way to exclude certain forums from appearing in the new posts list. I had a few forums listed in my exclude list in User CP when we were on vBulletin, but I don't see how to do this on XenForo. Is there a way to exclude forums from appearing in the new posts list?
I think I found a bug. I added a post, which would normally appear on page 11 (ignore typo in screenshot), but after adding the post, the page number underneath the post makes it look as if the post is on page 1. I'm guessing that page numbers don't get updated after submitting a post:

I generally dislike it, but I'll adjust. I wish I could make the thread lists display more compactly though; I find it hard to scan through titles with so much white space everywhere.
It looks a bit too white for me. Is there a way to revert to the classic theme?
If anyone is having trouble signing on, as I was, I just figured it out! The new site uses a popup window for sign-ins! I had to create an exception for the site in my popup blocker!
Until I did that, I just kept getting a perpetual string of dashes running left to right near the log in button.

This is standard XenForo functionality. When submitting a post, it loads the last 5 posts (if it isn't on the last page already). If you scroll up, you'll see a notice stating there are more posts in between what is shown.
My eyes are actually physically HURTING after having to look at this FLAT UGLY MESS for the past half hour. Somehow flat design is too much like having to use an ASCII terminal with a bright white background. It's just painful to look at. Even the smallest amount of outline around the headers would make it more bearable to look at for long periods of time. I can see I'll never upgrade to Yosemite if it's like this. UGH.
I did notice there are now green separators between messages now. That does help a good deal. Maybe if the background weren't stark white and more a light grey it would help (I have the old page still showing on a tab and while the background is white on the old site, the MESSAGES themselves are in a light grey background and that seems to make a HUGE difference in looking at it, even though it's not a huge difference in actual shade). Is there a way to get the message content as a different shade than the overall background like before? I think that would solve the remaining visual problems for me overall (more so than any 3D borders even).

I am also missing a "Desktop Version"-button on my iPhone. I absolutely hate mobile versions!
well, it makes it real easy to lose a post. A user submits a post, then looks down to see the page number "1". They go elsewhere and then decide to revisit their new post on page 1 only to find it missing, so they repost thinking the previous post was somehow lost. I feel that page numbers should always update to reflect the page containing the post that are being viewed.
I fixed my login problem by making an exception for MacRumors in my popup blocker - until then, I had no idea that the site was now using a popup window for logins.

How can I view the threads that I have subscribed to? I can only find an option to see the unread posts in those thread, but cannot find a way to view the threads, themselves.
