Just to add my thanks to Joel.  My part in this was very, very small (mainly me moaning at Joel and asking him stuff :P) so the thanks need to go his way!

As we've mentioned before, not everyone likes change and it can be difficult, but a lot of time has been spent making things as similar as possible.  There's still some work to be done in the background by both Joel and moi, the main aim was to get the forum back online and we could tweak as this week goes on.

So thanks for the feedback so far, keep it coming.  Please don't think we're ignoring stuff in here over the coming days though, the old day jobs have kicked back in for us all and so time is short to fix any issues.  Bottom line is at present we have a working forum, which so far appears to be much better (for me anyway!) in terms of performance and far more stable for the long term too :).

I have a question: Is it (or could it be) possible to "ignore" a whole topic? So that topics you have no interest in stop showing up in the "new posts" search?

Obviously it's hardly a major concern right now. I know you guys are still working hard on more important tweaks. I was just wondering out loud. :)

Open your options (http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/profile/) click "Ignore board options". Not sure if thats what you are after but seems like it.

Almost... That seems to be for ignoring entire sub-forums, rather than an individual topic.

Just something I have noticed, the green font here for the moderators is not at all legible. Could it maybe be changed to a darker green? I know I am clutching at straws here but it is the only thing that is bugging me ... Sorry Joel.

I'm really warming to the new TTF now, and I've had no problems with speed or reliability, so it's all good.

Cheers!

Done.  Although it's never going to be massively clear on that colour as a background!

Thank you Craig, it was a tad eye straining before.

Very minor request here, but is it possible to increase the number of posts displayed in the shoutbox?

Fully concur with John. The new forum is definitely faster, thanks! Now I just need to work out how to get an incredible title under my name! :P

Moved from 20 to 35, see how that goes :)

The shoutbox doesn't seem to like various formatting codes such as italics etc.

Has it disappeared since you updated your signature/profile? When you update your signature the forum deletes your avatar.

Yes, but it won't go back when I try and upload it again? :)

Traffic Boost posts currently don't need approval :)

Dunno if this is just me, (quite possible) but the "update" button in the shoutbox seems to do nothing on my iPad, requiering the whole page to be refreshed.... and a twenty minute wait to see if anyone's posted or not.

Is there any way of getting unread posts colour coded?

They are aren't they. Unread posts have their own colours on the index page and great big "new" symbol on all the other pages.
