    I see what you're saying Wireframe. Subforums may have lead to lots of dead forums, but at least you know what you were getting. Would a smaller number of filters not mostly sort out this problem though? You're right about the general filter, there's hardly anything there - so imo that is something that needs to be addressed. But if it can end up so that most people have a good idea of what filter to apply and that most filters are felt neccesary by the community, would that not be a good solution?

    See myself I just kind of assume that there'll be a lot of tweaking, that filters will be added and removed, and looking at the overall number available that the number of filters will probably lower.

    yes, I'm not against filters per se, but there are definitly too mnay atm. And GD and SD need a distinct split.

    General discussion is active and alive, people are choosing to use the varried tags available from within that perticular forum, not just the GD tag.
    I agree that serious discussion would be better placed on it's own and hardware seperated from software.

    do what i've done 3 multi thread filters

    General

    Serious

    entertainment

    Would be nice if these were set as filters on page though like the US and uk filters in for sale section, just so they dont go wonky if new tag are added or deleted

    oh and having just done insert link in the editing box, I dont like the fact that it no longer asks for what text to display, as I edited the wrong part first.

    Why is the a poll tag as when the is one it is stated in the title? also polls have subjects which could be shown by the tag e.g. modding.

    [atrack]username[/atrack] has stopped working. Although I wonder if this is atrack not working with the version of VB?

    What's with the new colours for stickys, read and unread topics? As if it wasn't horrendously garish enough with the tag images.

    You can turn thread colouring off in your CP.

    As Hiren said - if you go into your User CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options section, at the bottom, you can turn off thread highlighting. :read::thumb:

    When I change to the Dark forum style it only lasts until I open a new page, I guess this could be a cookie problem or something on my side...not sure though.

    EDIT: Ignore that it's working now!
    EDIT2: Not working again :S

    well said

    this new forum system is still only like 1 week old, give it another week (or 3), see if you prefer it, as has been said, this is all still a work in progress, and most of the comments made here by users have been listened to and fixed/planned to be fixed
