Would it be okay for a staffie or mod (looking at you pb) to unstick atleast 10 threads. Its real tedious scrolling down all the time and we can always sticky them again later. :)

That's odd, someone else said the exact same thing just a moment ago but it got deleted. I guess that was you and you're actually a staffie?

Yeah I noticed it changed the "T" into "..." in my recent thread "The world's greatest restaurant" :D

Well, If you don't like this dark coulours you can always go to general chat through Internet Chat Forums and it will be white :)
Also you can give long thread names, you just have to hover over them to see the full title :)

How long are you going to take? it's up and running now :)

Okay well first I think we can all agree that there was no way we would be pleased to see the forum get even smaller. Its like watching the Simpsons on a 60inch widescreen tv. You've got huge black sidebars either side..

I know the staffies would love some honest feedback but it's really difficult because we dont want to bite the hands that feeds us. :(

wow I cant believe I didnt notice that. That's not good, especially as I tend to have long thread titles. Now I'm going to have to work even harder to keep them really, really short.

Yeah it was the thread listings page which looked a bit squished because some of the thread titles now have ...'s whereas before the whole title would fit in. But that's just being petty, I'll get used to it I'm sure. :-)

The forums are being 're-organised', which will take a little bit of time as it is heavily database orientated. This is one of the trickier changes, which couldn't be done without it appearing live on the site. So I hope this to be all finished soon.
