I don't want to go into a rant about the new design for the Board as a result of the Pro Boards upgrade. However I'd like to make a couple of suggestions.
1. Can the Board "owners" please change the default "London" theme so that posts are shown with black text on white background. White on black is very hard work on the eyes. This style of layout is driving people nuts on the redesigned Flickr.
2. Can something be done to tone down the very vivid colours on the basic page design?
I understand from what happened when the District Dave board changed to the new Proboards format that loads of features are customisable by Board owners.

Theres some couple of good stuff from there which is saving drafts. When you make a massive post and you accidently clicked back and then you clicked forward, you lose the posts. But i personally prefer forums to be on vbulletin, but i know its payware, but there is some privileges you get out of it.  |

You can change your profile settings so that drafts of posts are saved as you create them. Go into Profile, then select Edit Profile, select Settings and look down the list of Forum Preferences and select "yes" for "Save Drafts". Don't forget to save changes on the bottom of the page. This tip was advertised on District Dave so I'll share it here. |

The new design is weird and awesome at the same time but I'm sure it will take it's time to get used to.
The new design is a bit like Twitter and Facebook because you can follow other users and be friends with other users too.

I see from fiddling about with my profile that are different "themes" that can be loaded to change the appearance of the forum. They seem to be based on the fleet colours of the different bus groups. I've changed my "theme" away from the default. At least my eyes are not as "strained" as they were before.  |

Just noticed you can get the new topics bit back. Scroll to the very bottom near where it tells you who is online and you should see 'recent threads'

6 tiny things that are annoying me: 1. The 'View 50 most recent posts' button at the bottom of the homepage has been replaced by 'Recent Posts'- that's fine but it only shows 15 posts rather than the previous 50. 2. Clicking on a thread from the homepage automatically takes you to the first page of that thread, rather than the last page. 3. Posts posted less than 24 hours ago now don't show the specific time they were posted. 4. The whole 'Like Post' thingy now seems to have been hidden at the top of the posts, in tiny writing without the old purple background. 5. I feel the forum feels a bit generic; bring back the click able TFL roundels for 'Home', Help', 'Search'... buttons at the top of the forum and the main London Buses logo. 6. The new smilies are just d*mn right fugly.  Other than that, everything else is fine. |

A few things bugging me:
1. Posts don't show a time, just x hours ago.
2. The banner at the top isn't the nicest of colors.
3. Dont't like the default avatar.
4. Main reply page isn't very nice.
5. Stories from around the web at the bottom of each page.

It took me two days to find the recent threads which is at the bottom. I searched everywhere except there. Says it all about this silly design |
