Meh, I don't mind it but I'm not a fan of the fact that the colour of pinned threads and regular threads are the same.
Yeah, I agree with that, some demarcation line would be nice to save having to hunt for the first thread.
Overall I like these new forum looks, they seem a bit smoother in use - although I didn't have problems with the prior forums. The new moderator boards are sleek and shiny as well, even down to an issue of the new Mark 10 Banhammers, all in all a good update.
