Looks like table widths have been adjusted in an attempt to be more reasonably accurate for the info contained in each cell, but now the Last Post column is too narrow, and any "Yesterday xx:xx pm" posts wrap to a new (unneeded) line.

Why does the forum need an entire column dedicated to New Thread post icons? The vast majority of threads started on FT don't have any icons at all, it is dead space that could otherwise be used to accommodate some of these other formatting issues. Just a thought.

Is it just me, or is the little arrow sign that once allowed you to jump to the first unread post in a thread no longer working? For the last day or two, every time I have hit that to look at a thread I’m subscribed to, I just get dumped onto the top of the last page of the thread, not the first unread post.
Also I am now noticing that when I hit the down arrow key or return key while typing in this text box, rather than having my cursor just skip to the next line down, the whole page resets and I end up at the very bottom of it (and have to scroll back up to see the text box again).
Sigh. I really have no idea what was so wrong with the previous look of the site. It worked, it looked OK, people were used to it, and I certainly didn’t hear any complaints about it. The new one is ugly, clunky, and full of bugs. So...why?

Column width (Last Post) clearly being fine-tuned, but not quite there yet ... and "Manage Attachments" took over 30 seconds to load the page for functionality arrived. My Download speed is 69mbps, before you ask (Mac/Safari).
EDIT = Another attempted upload took nearly 5 minutes for the Manage attachments page to load.

Same issue here. Outward pinch to zoom causes the vertical ad on the right ti land smack in the centre page. I can't see what ai was trying to enlarge beacuse of the stupid ad.

Perhaps somewhere in this morass of a thread it may have been reported, but when I post a reply I can see it appended to the thread, but the reply box and all the text in it sits there as though I have not posted.

I have been inexplicably experiencing that anomaly only in certain discussions — such as this one, for example — but that has been occurring for me long before the upgrade.

Noticed that the insert image by URL option now copies the image local to IB servers and serves it from there. Seems like a potential copyright issue there.
