    Site issues

    1. The Web 2.0 bland colors. Various shades of blue is just dull. The old colors were excellent, though it's hardly the only excellent choice.
    2. The lack of "new posts" and "recent posts" queries. This one is just crippling. It was my primary access method, used maybe 95% of the time.

    My primary access method was to go to the home page and check the "latest forum threads" section. But each time I click on a link in that section, I get "Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message."

        To be fair the new colours aren't that far removed from the oook.cz colours, although I think I will add some orange/yellow. I've tried to make themes toggleable between the old one and the new, I'm not sure if it worked.

          Can you make it so that clicking on one of the threads in the 'Latest Forum Threads' section takes you to the most recent post in the thread, like it used to on the old site? Right now , it takes you to the first post in the thread, even if it's a multi-page post and you have to change pages to get to the recent content.

            You can get that behaviour by going to your profile in the top right corner and then in User Settings->Account->Conversation Detail Options set Display Mode to Latest Activity.

              Something weird seems to have happened to them now if you have Forum Default chosen as the style. Quotes have dark background and are quite readable, but the body of the post is light blue text on white, which is hard to read. I currently have my style set to Dark.

                    It was already known that the link for logging in under the ladder has been broken, but I think I just might have realized why; it directs you to "/forum" while the actual forums are "/forums". I know comparatively little about web design, layout, and architecture, but would the fix be just to make sure that the ladder login link uses the same url exactly?

                      Heavily suspected undead processes on the webserver again; horrible lag for a spoken multitude. Posted in this thread as well in the vain hope that it annoys Gwarl enough to get his attention.

                        Each time I post something I get a warning message (error 500) which makes me think it didn't work so I press the button again and get "duplicate post" because in fact it worked.

                          Yep, this happens to me too. The forums also go through patches where as a moderator I can't delete posts.
