So far the only things i dislike are

No quick reply
user info on the RHS.

Other than that, good work Josh.

Quick reply would be useful )if its an available feature) but would have to go hand-in-hand with a "max. no. of posts per minute" sort of rule to avoid flooding. But I think we already have that - ever tried editing one of your posts moments after submitting it when you realise you've made a spelling mistake for instance?

One other thought - Josh, can you make use of the "Global Moderators" user group to easier identify the Moderating team? I think we would show up green where you as an admin show up red? JM2PW.

I've had absolutely no issues or faults in navigating or using the forum though :)

Cheers

Good work to admins in charge

I think sigs really help break up text and help define one user from the next instantly.

There just needs to be a strong restriction on size

Not overly keen on the new design .. maybe just needs some getting used too though :) . Is it possible for a banner to be made? Looks abit boring with just 'UK-POLOs - THE UK POLO FORUM' at the top of the page.
