Toby - Not sure how much work you want to take on with this but perhaps you can start a forum/thread around New Forum feedback to report bugs and style requests / ideas. Then you would need to track all that and then prioritize it in a sprint. If you try and tackle all the requests you will drown. Capture it, see what the top 10 are, then focus on those over a 4-6 week sprint.

I am still going thru everything while I am writing the FAQs.
Once that is done (about a week from now) I can start a topic for feedback, bugs and requests.
Since this topic was started we can meanwhile use it to improve.

Excessive blue? That is a problem, really?

I have two things to say.

1.) Please never go back to the old format. It's awful.

2.) Here's a forum with a slightly wider interface... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19

Yea. I miss the view new posts tab and being able to see who the OP was, how many replies, and who was the last one to reply all in one place. The home page lists the posts, but I also agree that the blue small font the posts are listed in doesn't show up well.

Its looking good, I just think it needs a few small tweaks.

Desktop could be wider, and a little more padding on each row of the form pages.

this is the site at 1170px width with 20px padding instead of 2px on the <dl>

Toby..... just way too much blue. Blue writing on different shades of blue background????? Why? I really feel this strains my eyes.
I'm a fan of traditional black on white......

The background color of the quotes ( sand color) is much easier to look at.
Try reversing.
Put "only" the quotes with light blue background. Also try changing the poster's name to red color instead of blue.
Just some suggestions.
