One issue I noticed-when you go into a forum, and hover over a thread title(which brings up the yellow box with the thread text in it), it doesn't seem to highlight the thread title by changing it to another colour or underlining it.

Is it just me, or was that different before the update?

PS. I'm liking the new layout.

in your closet, in your head
liking the new layout in the bubbles in the top right corner.
Can I make a suggestion though, what would it look like if the Search, Quick Links & Logout buttons didn't have the darker red background just the text?

Congratulation Niall, thanks for everything, and everyone who makes this site what it is.

"Show results as posts"
Aaaah!

That said it's still not as good as the other search for me

Which I've now worked out. If you type in your search item into the space and press search, it won't find anything. But if you press search, enter your search item, and then press search again... bingo

Van der Sar's saved it... United again!
Sorry, I didn't understand your post initially, I thought you were talking about the advanced search. My fault. :)

Yes, the search on the top is a bit pointless as it's basically just a link that leads you to the real search function. Having said that, I usually prefer the advanced search anyway as the results are usually more specific.

Is there a way to get back the old layout? I like the new features, but not the new layout. Maybe I'm just a stick-in-the-mud, though, and will have to get used to it!

Great additions to the site. Redcafe looks a lot more classier now.

What happened to the "mark read" option? Can't seem to be able to find it.

Not to be annoying, but would it be possible to sort this? I had a look at a couple of other forums, and when you hover over a thread title, it does change colour/have a sort of box surround it.

EDIT: I just noticed it's the same when you highlight a username, BUT, if you highlight a Forum Name, it seems to change colour.

Yep I'll be fixing that, some of the CSS changes I made buggered up the hover state of links.

Fratton Park, play up Pompey!
I was just trying to stick some player photos on for the wiki. But they all seem to be locked for editing. Are only certain people allowed to add info onto the wiki?

I don't care what every other person on this site says about you, Niall, I think you're alright.:)

Can we have a quick link to the admin control panel please Niall.

It's a bit long winded at present.
