I'm old and I don't like this new fangled Site. I don't know where anything is and can't seem to navigate it :( I'm not even sure that I have posted this?

Change takes time to get use to. I miss the button at the bottom of the threads to take you back to the category. It's only at the top now, so I have to stop being lazy and scroll alllllll the way back up.... Oh well I need the exercise.:D

I think it's an improvement for the most part. Although like others it may take me a bit to find everything. However one thing that I think should be changed is the font for the posts. I believe that it's Times New Roman or something similar but I don't think that was the font used previously.

A simple non-serif font such as Arial, Swiss or Helvetica is much easier to read across a number of devices with varying screen sizes. Or perhaps just a personal preference. ;)

One other minor suggestion as well. I got used to seeing the 'NEW POSTS' with the number beside it. The number wasn't really that important to me but the fact that it stood out reminded me that I still had posts to check or decide to mark them all read. I realize that 'New Posts' is a tab at the top now but was wondering if it was possible to make it stand out (like be BOLD RED or something) until all new posts are read or they are marked all read?

If it's a real PITA no worries it was just a thought. I'm sure I'll get used to clicking the New Posts button but before there was sort of a reminder. :D

I am not saying it's bad but it took me by surprise. Lol, I think I hit the reload button 4 times thinking it did load properly. I guess the thing I miss is the Quick info that was on the right, I know I am probably the only one but can the Font Size be changed to more of the size it was before?

lol pushing home on the keyboard brings you back to the top... doesn't help on cell phones though... I will add it when I get time.

Changed to Tahoma... Can try Arial if this is too "tight"
