Yeah, I know.. ProBoards snuck in another big update on us.. gonna see what they've done and see what I can recover from the old theme, like our theme pic and stuff.
Any comments on the new theme?

Well, it wasn't so much a stealth update as I wasn't aware that they were completely getting rid of the old style and we'd have no choice.
Even still, I can make it look similar with color schemes.. seems like there are a lot of appearance and style options in V5.

I don't.
The bright yellow everywhere is hard on the eyes and it looks absolutely gaudy.
The font size has been jacked up to kindergarten size, and doesn't fit well in their boxes, etc.

CHANGE GRRR!!!! Everything seems.. huge... (the boxes space on screen, how wide they are... how far they go across.. ) Is ther a way to...better indicate quotes. Cuz looking at Tatn's up there.. that's crappy - its difficult to tell what is quoted and what is "new" - there's no font change just some indentations, there's no boxes.. there's no lines between what Tant says and his Signature... Is that my settings or is that the new proboards look? IOh and there's not even any line dividers between posts... this is a mess. OH MY GOD THIS EDIT SCREEN WTF...

I'm using the "bluegrey" profile. Posts alternate between light teal and light grey, so they are distinctive. I see Tant's post on a grey background, with Xaeris' quote on a teal box within Tant's post. Font size is ok, a sans-serif font; I'll see if I can find a serif font, but I can live with this. Preferred the old, this is a bit garish.

Uh... what "Compatibility View Settings"? In browser, or in forum? I didn't see anything looking like an options menu in the forum itself.

The "Compatibility View Settings" is on the "Tools" menu in Windows. You can press alt+x to access it quickly.

Found the colors option at least. Blacknblue looks so much better than that gaudy yellow. Still miss the old format.
@tant: Compatibility View settings won't change proportions. I could make everything bigger, or everything smaller, but that doesn't change the fact that some text in some boxes is too big while others is about right. I could shrink everything, but then some of it becomes unreadable.

Uhh is there a way to click on the title of a thread and jump JUST to the NEW posts since you last visited?
I use to could do it by clicking on "New", but now that just...goes to the first post of the entire thread just as if I clicked on its title.
I REALLY like this feature so... did it get changed or turned off or...any ideas?

Yeah, I noticed that recently, too. Not sure if it was part of the change or something that has changed since. I'll research it and see what I can figure out.
