Topic title search seems to be working.

Thanks!

Mmmskyscraper, just check the Forums Main page i.e. forums.anandtech.com

There's no list of users for me

Nobody has commented on the overall speed? Much, much faster for me to open and read through the forums (11am ET). For that alone, I'm grateful. Nice work guys!

I'm blind. I can't seem to find where to change the theme?

Click on "profile" at the top, then "Personal options". Good luck though, most of the options are poor at best.

I like it, I also like chicken, pizza, and beer on a warm sunny afternoon when the children have all flown away for the weekend to visit grandma in the Jungle. The button mashing is easier to see along with my wee wee, so this get all chopped up thumps up from me, and all the hitch hikers I have mangled all my life while being a truck driver

It looks great, I love updates, gives me something to do having to re-learn how to use the forum all over again because of it. Does this mean the search feature actually works good now?

Jason, is the forum software still updating or is it fully complete? So far I like the new look and feel of the new forums.

Wow, you should tell us what they'll be .

I'm already prepared for the onslaught of posts trying to be the first to post in new forums.

Test to see if I am me.

SRSLY.

Wow, this is ugly. I really don't like how flat everything feels now. Makes the forums much less usable for me. Who decided any of the visual changes were a good idea? Was anyone actually complaining? It really feels like you tried to copy some of the crappier forum softwares' appearances.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

I can't find an option to turn off the thread rating stars when you're browsing a category.

Pretty much guaranteed that these themes are Fusetalk's doing and not ATs, joshsquall.

That said, why is this happening?: http://www.dotstrosity.net/anandtech/titlecutoff.JPG

No matter how horizontally small you make the window, that component never resizes, so there is no reason for the text to chop. Particularly General Hardware, which would actually be SHORTER with an 'e' on the end

Hiding the side menu bar causes everything to show up as it should. For longer posts, the Quick Reply box goes across the entire width of the window, but the "Search Topic" and "Topic Tools" buttons are still too far over, causing horizontal scrolling.

This is with the "Steel Red" theme on Firefox 2.0.0.4. Looks like the other themes aside from the "Default" theme also suffer from these results. It looks as expected with the "Default" theme selected.

Count me in for this problem as well. FF 2.0.0.4 using 'steel gray'.

Confirmed, I am not seeing this problem in FF with the default theme.

Jason Clark is one of the original developers of FuseTalk. AT Forums ends up being a testing ground for their new "upgrades".

Looks... Web 2.0ish. But it was more usable before.
