I don't care about "Members online now", "staff online now" that's floating on the right side. I just want my damn quick links to the other sub forums thats always there and not hidden at a small random looking logo at the bottom right!

I don't have a floating box on the right side anymore. There isn't a quick links to the subforums yet though, as that's more than a stylish edit...unless someone has come up with it in Greasemonkey already.

Overall, I kinda like it. I'm glad to see that HTTPS encryption is finally there. Since we didn't have that before, using public WiFi was a risk. Anyone could see your password transmitted in-the-clear or just capture the session ID as the site reads it from your browser's cookie file.

I updated my bookmark to subscribed threads so now it points to:
https://forums.anandtech.com/watched/threads/all

My bookmark to list my brother's posts doesn't work anymore. I'll have to see if there's still a way to do this with a direct link.

Yeah, I don't like how much space is at the bottom after the last post on a page. When I scroll all the way to the bottom on my phone, I have to analyze the page intensely as I scroll back up to find what I'm looking for (the last post).

I'd much rather have a forum index fill the side than see the list of online / active users.
