    New, improved TFW is sleek, sexy import with turbo handling!

    Looks good on my Retina monitor. Much easier on the eyes.

    Aye, that side bar is pretty bad and takes up a quarter of the screen.

    Is there a way to get the sidebar ads relocated to the front page? It's cutting down on the readable real estate once you're inside the forums. Other than that, it looks mighty fine.

    Yeah I'm not a fan. I Liked how the old Tfw has that kind of simple retro feel. This doesn't.

    I like the layout very much, but the sidebar is very large and squishes the page making it harder to read...

    The side bar is WAY too big, all the posts are squished to hell.

    Good lord, gone for a few minutes and the update hit! lol. Anyway, brilliant design decision, and a great way to celebrate 15 years of service. I love the clean look, the shining blue. You've really knocked it out of the park.

    I really don't like the sidebar. It just squishes the screen and makes the site feel much smaller overall.

    Why would I want to see 'Latest Posts' from sections I have no interest in?

    Can we start with more significant usability fixes like
    - filtering out forums I don't want in new posts (vbul plugin forever-ago)
    - making new posts actually show more than 10 threads at a time (killing any interest in wanting to find more threads... painful clicking)

    New front page newsfeed looks pretty sexy...
    Like the colors...

    Not so hot on the padding in forum listings making each thread take up more vertical space
