Default Suggestions For New Update (which we all know will return soon)

1. Increase the font size for both the posts and the new collapsable tool bar to the left.

2. On the majority of the skins..dull the background color (like you did with the Winter Skin) so it is not so darn bright and rough on the eyes.

3. Watched Thread List: On the watched topics/posts section...it would be great if for each thread I've added to my watched list it would show in red i.e. <font color="red"> (8) </font> the # of NEW posts since I last read the thread or simply shade it a darker color when a new post has been added.

As of now it simply shows the date of the last post which isn't very useful...especially if I add posts that are weeks old and I want to know when there are new replies etc.

4. Watch Forum List--it would be nice if I could add the forums I like the most and have links to them(without listing all the posts in each forum on one big mass of thread titles) essentially creating a custom toolbar.

i.e.
WATCH FORUM LIST
BBV
OOT
Internet Gambling
Small Stakes NL/PL
Televised Poker
MTTC Community
About The Forums
EL D General Discussion

etc. you get the idea

5. Less white space on posts where this is just one or two lines of type.

For me, at least this morning, there was a color difference for the thread line (like the whole thing was shaded) and the number of unread posts were in red and parenthesized.

So basically you want the old look with the new features.

Oh, with "Watched Forums" you can filter each forum. So you could look at just that forum's posts.

HUH? You could? would u have to delete a given forum and then re-add it later?

I'd prefer just to keep 2+2 the way it is now but that ain't going to happen.

With the My Watched List...as i saw it

U had 3 options

Watched Forums = Add a forum and then all the posts for the forum show up here. If you add multiple forums then you get a list of threads that looks like this

Thread-BBV
Thread-SSNL
Thread-BBV
Thread-OOT
Thread-OOT
Thread-BBV
Thread-SSNL
etc etc

Thats great for some people...but I would prefer a option that also lets me add my favorite forums and then gives me a list of all those forums(like i said...a custom toolbar) that i can click on and jump to.
i.e
Watched Forum List
BBV
OOT
SSNL
Internet Gambling
MTTC
BBV4LIFE
EDGD
Probability

etc etc---that way I can set the page as my default and never have to use the collapsable taskbar on the far left with the tiny type.


Watched Topics = You add any thread you want and it shows up in the list with the thread title, author, date, and the last post in the thread with the date and author of post.

What it doesn't tell you is how many new posts have been added since you last read it. You only get this if you go to the forum it is in.

I want this added so I can run thru all my Watched Threads and see which ones have been updated with new posts. You can do this be either shading it a darker color when a new post is added or by using the little red (8) number like they do when your in the given forum.

Watched Users-I never looked at this option so not sure what is shows.

Charlie, do you use the Favorite Forum functionality in UBB6.x?
