Why would a lack of padding and small text be something you'd want to bring back?

Information density. Less scrolling, less concentration-breaking eye movement.

That doesn't make information more dense, it just makes it more difficult to read.

Mouseover loading is the path to madness.

You'd be amazed at what a 200ms hover delay can accomplish...

A retro user style, to bring back some of the color scheming, lack of padding, and text sizes of the old forum.

Mark new messages in some more noticeable way. As is, there is only a red arrow on the left side of the message to indicate it is new, while back in HBO, the whole line was grey-boxed.

While I understand grey-boxing might be a bit harder to do, I'm sure there's a way to make them more noticeable than a single red arrow.

This should be doable. Heck, I might not even need Javascript.

It had a good feature where it displayed the first non-comment line as the message title.

The reason that this was good was because you could scan the tree and follow the outline of the conversation without even having to open any messages.

Unfortunately, this would require background-loading every post, so it's not possible.

What could be done, though, is to have the preview buttons load on mouse-over... and maybe even make the text in there collapsible. Hmmm....

Dude!

With the inclusion of themes as a user setting, you could have a mobile theme that optimizes everything for your device instead of adding detection code... which would still be cool too.

That's not addressed to me, right? I've had nothing do do with this since suggesting MyLittleForum.

I can attempt a mobile theme at some point, though they're only easy to install on Firefox Mobile (with Stylish extension).

Sure, there is a quote message button. Buuuut... I'd love if I could see what I am replying to below this input box. I'm way too much addicted to multi-tasking, which means I get nothing done, so a post can take up to 10 hours to write. That means I might come back, find my half-written post, and wonder what on earth I am replying to.

... perhaps I'm the only one with this problem....

Well, quick-reply would help fix this, but this should also be possible with localstorage and/or AJAX calls.

Maybe the next/previous buttons are completely irrelevant :)

Many single-post users like it on HBO. We can throw that onto this list...

But I think adding auto-NMing would be fun.

Joking aside, I'm not much of a techno guy, so sofar I am enjoying the new site. One thing I have noticed that I think was already sort of mentioned: I'm used to clicking the back button on my browser, but now that marks all the messages unread. No biggy, I just have to use the back button on the page instead.

That and the lack of corner shots are my only real "complaints". Everything else is purty dern aweshum.

I'm on my phone right now and it's not bad. Very useable. Everything scales to my screen better than HBO.
