Overall I like the changes made to the board and I think it runs faster, but I do have some suggestions that might make it a little more useable.

1. When typing a reponse to a PM, you can't preview it. The is a bit of an annoyance since you can't verify that all the contents will show up correctly on the other end.

2. When looking in one of the forums (General, Tech, WarRoom...any of them), the pages show up at the bottom right on the thread listings. But, if you enter into a thread that has multiple pages, they are on the left hand side and Last Thread, Next Thread show up on the bottom right. Just its inconsistent. Besides, does anyone actually use Last Thread, Next Thread? I think they should be swapped. Put Pages on the bottom Right and the Last Thread, Next Thread on the Left.


3. When you are viewing a thread and want to post a reply, sometimes it is easy to click on the Post New Topic button accidently instead of the Post Reply button. You will type your message and hit submit to only find that you started a new thread by accident (or get an error about a missing subject line). Perhaps that button should be moved or just removed (since its kinda silly to create a new thread while in another).

4. I have noticed that when you edit the subject (title) of a thread, it doesn't actually change what people see. Atleast it didn't a couple days ago when I edited one of my selling threads. This is very handy when using the Market Place.

those are some good suggestions.
I'm glad that the thread titles are back on the front page..and I like how a popup comes up saying you've recieved a new private message.

That is my biggest problem/concern and a feature that I really came to like on the older boards.
