I'm pretty sure it's the signature that's causing the problem.
If I go into Chrome's web development tool and hover over the signature DIV:
You can see that it is above the reputation button.
If I simply delete the signature node from the HTML then it looks like this:
And the reputation button works again. This also works if you ignore a poster's signature.
Two things I've seen that were essential on the previous board but which doesn't really work out all too well here:
1. It's hard to see which threads have new posts; currently there's an extremely thin black line to the left of the thread name. Constantly squinting and leaning in towards the screen whenever one enters a new forum is not a pleasant experience. Either making the line much more noticeable or bringing back the old design where unread threads were bold and read threads weren't would be much obliged.
2. There's no easy way to go to the first unread post of a thread. I have to click the tiny little arrow first to get a preview and from there go to the first unread, rather than through one click going to the first unread, as was possible under the previous design.
3. This isn't as big of a deal, but the Wysiwyg interface isn't my cup of tea. And that you can turn it off is great, but this also prevents you from using all the nifty buttons that bold text or create lists. In the previous version, there was no wysiwyg interface, but it was still possible to mark a piece of text and haave it all turned into a list. If this can be brought back, so that it is active while the wysiwyg interface is disabled in the top left of the posting window, it would be great. Essentially what I want is to be able to push the buttons without having the formatting applied to my reply window.
I started to write a word document of bugs/issues with the new design and these three are also my biggest points about the new design that I really would love for to be fixed. Then there's lots of small stuff but if these three were fixed the enjoyment of browsing and posting on the forum would go up to "almost perfect" in my book :).
Vertiy, its still here, its still at the top right.
and yeah I miss the status box as well =(
I meant the link for each topic. Previously there was a button you could click that brought you to the "last not read post" instead of clicking for example the last page in a topic.
Another question/feedback
Am I missing something or is the "View new messages" for topics removed? I really liked that feature so I could read through what I had missed.
More feedback, this time regarding the editbox. It's nice to see the feature to swap between the WYSIWYG text editor and the BBCode editor, but I was wondering why I can't use the buttons for text formatting and such while in BBCode editing mode? I used to only write in BBcode mode since that was the option in the old settings. Usually I don't like using WYSIWYG editors since it can just get very messy if you are copying stuff etc.
It's quite annoying to not be able to use the buttons and having to swap or write stuff like [i] or [b] without being able to use the buttons. I see no reason why it couldn't work like before. That it just adds the tags when you click the buttons in BBCode-mode.
Also, I'm a bit bummed you can't use animated gifs for avatars anymore, I liked my robot when he was alive :'(
Regarding the forum post view. I just had kind of a confused feeling when looking around and finally managed to figure out what exactly it was.
I couldn't see what topics were new, and which I had posted in... but then I found it:
Additionally I found this when looking at my profile:
Not really sure why it says "Converted" but I believe that should be changed to something more appropriate aight?
What about the pink box on the start screen next to "Recent Posts" box?^^
That spot is for ads.
If you have adblocker you'll see the pink box instead. If you have premium (like I do) you'll not see it at all and the Latest blue topics & Recent Posts will stretch the whole width.
Edit: Can someone just say if I'm the only one whose emoticons/tiny icons doesn't display? Cause it sucks, It's the only way to convey tone with something you've written!
Same for me. Also a few other icons missing such as the social media share icons on the bottom of a topic (except Google+).
Yes, the editbox drag should work in latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
A bug I found while checking the site in IE9 was the search button styling. It seems to revert to some blueish thingy which doesn't really fit in the deisgn.

You can see that it is above the reputation button.
If I simply delete the signature node from the HTML then it looks like this:

Yup, same for me in Chrome. It's the signature that overlays above the reputation button.
Obviously that's true, but how can we know what's on it and what's not :P? I might or might not post my list soonish anyway

YES! BLUE & EVIL Reptar has succeded in overtaking his green enemy and is now invading the forum with all his evil prowess. BEWARE!

There is an arrow icon at the bottom (in the middle) that you can use to get to the top.
