Welcome to the new site
is there like an actual game available for download already?
Re: Welcome to the new site
A couple of things I've noticed:
1) Having to actually go into the unread thread to clear the unread status is counterintuitive; having to thumb through all of them to change the status is tedious. I could just ignore it, but then how would I ever know if there was a new post in a particular forum I like to browse?
2) The firey thing for the 'hot thread' basically covers up what color the thread status indicator is, so you can't tell if you've read it or not.
Suggestions:
1) Create a function that will find unread posts. Also, have the function clear the posts and set them to read status roughly 15 - 20 minutes after the last time the forum reader uses the function.
2) Thread subscriptions and a link that shows a list of you personal subscriptions with links to the threads themselves.
3) Change the firey thingy to an exclamation point, or have the actual fire change color to match the read/unread status.

You can click 'mark forums read' or 'mark topics read' in either the main forum list, or individual forum. Both located at the top of the forum.A couple of things I've noticed:

I can easily tell the difference between the black and white one and the color one. On threads created by you, there will also be a orange dot. However the rest of the icon remains black and white if read, or color if unread. I'll try adding something to it to make it easier to tell the difference.2) The firey thing for the 'hot thread' basically covers up what color the thread status indicator is, so you can't tell if you've read it or not.
There are functions to 'View unanswered posts' and 'View new posts' both at the top of the forum.Suggestions:

Also located at the top of the forum, 'subscribe topic' & 'subscribe forum' respectivly.2) Thread subscriptions and a link that shows a list of you personal subscriptions with links to the threads themselves.
The fire (and entire icon) is in color if new/unread or black and white if read, as shown in the legend at the bottom of the forums.3) Change the firey thingy to an exclamation point, or have the actual fire change color to match the read/unread status.

Re: Welcome to the new site
oh by the way, you said this post didnt show up as new. It might be because this is an 'announcement' which is global to all the forum. not sure though.
edit: some research shows that this behavior is part of how the forum software works. Essentially 'global announcements' are not tied to a forum id, which keeps them from showing up as a new post. I'll look into modding that.

The bluest part of the sky seems so far away. I suppose thats what keeps us striving for it.
