Wow to the new forum background. Now, officially, the coolest forum on the web!

It looks really cool, but it seems like a few features of the forums are either removed or not working correctly. Like I can't tell when there are new posts on topics because the little arrow that normally appeared on the left of the topic title is gone.

And the stars that idicated ranks are also gone. ( I want my star back )

Yep, that's my main grievance with this. I hope it's just an oversight and will be fixed. Otherwise it looks cool.

As cool as it looks, I find the new background rather annoying. It makes the posts hard to read IMO. I would like it to be changed back.

Although the background looks cool, the functionality of the forum has really taken a huge step back. It's really hard to keep track what you have read and where new posts are. I hope they fix this asap

All will be sorted in time. However, there is a discussion on the forum change in the Community Discussion forum.
