By the unread posts thing, I meant this little thingy:

I can see it now, so all is well. The only thing I still can't figure out is how to delete your own posts (see above).
You can't delete your own posts unless you have literally just posted it. As soon as it has been read by someone else or another post has been posted in that thread, that functionality disappears, at least that's my understanding of it.

On the front page of the forums, between the Donate button and the Welcome To The Greenhouse forum are the options View unanswered posts • View unread posts • View new posts • View active topics

Icons with a blue border are ones that you've read the most recent post, while red circled icons have new posts since you opened the thread. The ones with new posts also have the tiny orange square with the black arrow that you can click to take you to the first new post of the thread
I was finding it hard to adjust to the page numbers being right justified, but I hadn't discovered that feature, it saves time compared to the old style - you don't actually have to click the page number at all any more.

This was on the old-style forums as well, made it simple to go directly to the new discussion.

Personally, I only click on page numbers if I'm trying to locate old posts in a thread, takes too long otherwise.

And to think, all that time, I was double clicking unnecessarily!

From memory, it was in the same place, but it was a dark green piece of paper with an arrow going into it.

If for some reason you've got images of the old site, you should be able to see it. It's a great feature. :P

Agree Nick, I'm sure it will grow on me.

I think I like the in thread display better on this one, but I preferred the old home page.

Appreciate the work, I really do. I understand it's not a small job.

But can the black be changed to a lighter colour (dark grey?)? It's pretty harsh contrast. The thread titles are also a bit hard on the eyes being so bold.

Other than that, great job.

I hadn't been back recently during most of the off-season but I noticed the new design, I love it, it looks amazing compared to the old Greenhouse, well done :)
