Kemperites' Views on the New Forum Format?

My only complaint is that it takes 3 clicks to get to the “unread posts” button.
You can do it in one click , if you add this link to your browser Favorites bar:

Thanks for fixing the pictures!!!

I wouldn’t worry about the functionality. I’m sure once things settle down (edit: once the webmasters smooth out the wrinkles), it’ll be back to what we know and love. I’m already getting used to the brighter scheme and the responsiveness on iPhone is more than worth any qualms I have about the lighter shades.

There's an up-pointing arrow bottom-right-of-page, Alan, at least on a desktop / laptop machine.
Yep, found that on my desktop version, Nicky. I thought I was just being stupid but then I noticed it doesn't show up on the iPad which I where I was looking when I posted. Looks like it just doen't work properly on mobile devices yet but I'm sure it won't be long until that gets fixed so I'm not losing any sleep over it.

In addition to that, it takes 3-clicks to "Mark All Posts As Read".
Both are annoying.

Just hover over the forum link in the top bar, and click "Unread Posts" -- one click. Unless you're on mobile, then two clicks I guess.

Double tap the top of the browser window on Safari mobile. That’s been built-in to iOS since at least that major update (where they introduced the flatter, more colourful look).

On iOS, I just add the Unread Posts page to my reading list.

I miss the preview window when you touch a titlefield in one subforum with the mouse.
The titles are not always meaningful.

Something's happening:
A "Dashboard" tab just appeared top-left-of-screen.
Takes us to a generic forum page, but something could be in-the-works:

I think it looks better then a error message

The main site's use of shading is IMHO just-about-perfect for the forum.
In the example below:
The white background looks as if it'd be perfect for quote boxes and stand out nicely.
The light-Kemper-green background (behind the main text) would IMHO be perfect as a replacement for the white we have now.
The bolder text would be welcomed by many based on what I've read so far.

Monkey_Man I just tried to PM you Nicky, and got this:
"Monkey_Man is already participating in too many conversations and cannot be added."
A "feature" of the new forum, or could this always happen?
-
Bizarre! Must be 'cause I'm so-pupolar, mate.
OK, I checked it out, and it seems the forum-software switch added a truckload of conversations that were over-and-removed eons ago. This would explain why, as I said the other day, I suddenly received responses from up to 2 years ago that I'd given up waiting for.
Currently my PM "quota" is 101% full, apparently, so I'll have to go in and figure out what to delete. Pretty sure it was around 30% or less prior to the software update.
OK, removed a few and am down to 99% so you can PM me, bud. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT:
I now have 10 pages of conversations (previously 11), but parsing them's gonna be tricky 'cause now for the first time ever they appear to be in a "random" order (previously newest->oldest, which is what works for me).
Can't find a setting in my control panel for this...
What are you... some kinda Doomsday machine, boy?!!???

I consider it very likely that the use of another Forum Lizenz has economic reasons.
I think the benefits for the operator are greater than for the user but it's quite legitimate.

This!
I was totally going to take a screenshot of the Rig Exchange part of the site and show how much better the font-color, font-weight and the colors are in general . It's easy though, just click this : https://www.kemper-amps.com/rig/exchange
Notice the darker font (RGB 38,38,38) instead of the the one here which just does not pop against the same background (RGB 80,94,91).
Please at least make the font be the same as on the RigExchange. There really is not enough contrast with this light one.
And also, the strange 'W' looking browser tab icon , please change it to the normal Kemper icon, like in Rig Exchange

The edit button in every post I've made in PM's has disappeared.
This happened barely a few minutes ago. I'd say that qualifies as being strange.
