Can someone pop over to the chat board and tell me if they see me?

Neat looking update.
Only negative I see so far (or do not see actually) is the red icon for new posts is not sufficiently visible, needs to be brighter, or standard (no new posts) icon needs to be darker. Makes scanning the board for new posts of interest much harder.

I suspect us old folks here will need some time to get used to all of this.
It's all fancified. It does look nice.

First off, what's this about new posts looking red? they all look blue to me. Alternating between a light blue & an even lighter blue.
Why are Avatars so TINY now? That blows.
I don't like the rounded corner bubbly look of the individual messages. It's not as crisp as the actual corners that the old version had. It reminds me of VH1's "Pop up video," and I did NOT like that show.
I don't like the user info on the right. not at all.
I prefer to see WHOSE post I'm reading first. natual inclination is to read from right to left, si it's weird now that it's not on the left.
Not all posts are getting through, apparently. I left one message in this thread, even SAW it in here. Left the thread, returned, and it's not here anymore. Did I accidentally put me on my own "Ignore" list? LOL
Only negative I see so far (or do not see actually) is the red icon for new posts is not sufficiently visible, needs to be brighter, or standard (no new posts) icon needs to be darker. Makes scanning the board for new posts of interest much harder.
I agree.
What is THIS for [*] ?
Sorry, Adam... but I just don't like it.
I'll get USED to it, but I SO prefer the look of the previous boards. More traditional, less teeny-bopper.

I'm glad i'm not the only one
Even my wife looked at the laptop and said "that looks weird now"
We are getting old

Wow, What a way to cause a guy a heart attack. I go away for a week and come back to some new crazy layout website. Its cool though. Eventually I WILL get use to it. I would like to also comment on what MM and Peacemystic said on the layout. The poster info on the left made more sense to me. It is weird being on the right.
Also, am I missing something or are the trader ratings now missing? Maybe I am looking in the wrong location though.
