Hello there - great job with the forum upgrade and new modern look (I happen to love it, as I'm a whitespace fan)!
However I do wish to say this: I do not like that the new software shows the thread topic name in the URL. To most, that may not be a big deal; but I felt much more comfortable surfing at work (under the radar!) with the older forum not having thread URLs with the topic name in them.
While this is a tech forum at heart, and I mainly use it as such, it's easy to get caught up in some other non-tech topics here; and I'd rather it not be so obvious to our firewall guys. lol - so my forum participation will probably decrease. Shame. I'm guessing there is no option for that to be changed on a per-user basis, is there?
Oh, and my chosen avatar looks horrible now that it's cropped by a round, white circle. Probably best that I just change it here, shortly, before it gets on my nerves. [EDIT: Updated avatar - lol]
I'm aware as anyone that you guys can't have every base covered; I get it.
Anyways, our beloved Anandtech looks fresh and great. Thanks!
Greetings AnandTech!
With the launch of the new XenForo forum (which goes live this Saturday!), we’ve endeavored to keep it as vanilla as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition. As with any new product launch though, there are bound to be small issues that only emerge when we have thousands of eyes peeping around at every corner of forum.
To that end, we’ve set up this thread to aggregate all your feedback and bug reports. Please let us know what you think of the new AnandTech Forums and, more importantly, if you spot anything out of place.
...
We’re looking forward to hearing what you think!
