I like the new look, but there's some minor things that caught my eye (using Firefox).
Some avatars are wider than others (like mine... sorry! ;) ) and fall over the top of the first post. I also agree about the separation between posts, the background colour of a post doesn't really jump out so the white line between posts is barely visible. And when I posted something a couple of minutes ago, I noticed I have two Quote-buttons on top of eachother:

Yes, the board will get tweaked to look "correct" on each browser, it'll just take a bit of time because Hieg is sneaking in tweaking the board between a currently hectic work/music/life schedule. So a bit here, a bit there, but eventually we'll have it where it needs to be.

That's because no changes to log in have been made yet. That's coming and will be exactly that, a bass related question. :)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, cant really read anythings because everyone's avatar/user picture takes up most if not all of the posts, I don't know if this is just happening to me or if anyone else is experiencing a problem. P.S Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

What do you know: Ever since the new look of the board was introduced, the network in my office no longer blocks Leftybassist.com because of 'adult material' :mrgreen:

What browser do you use, what are you viewing the board on?

I've noticed that no matter what browser I'm in - Safari; Firefox; Chrome - when there are pictures attached to a thread, the pics need to be scrolled through, rather than just being rendered in full... I hope this isn't going to be the "norm", as it's hard to look at pictures by scrolling in a narrow window...

I've realized that if I click on a picture that has the scrolling bar around it, it will be rendered full size. That's OK by me....

The avatars are no longer blocking the post, but the right side of the post is cut off.

I just noticed the posts are being cut off to the right - both iPad and Chrome. Hope this helps.

Wanted to chime in here that the posts are running past the right side of the screen... I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox; same thing... just sayin'... :)
