Me likey very much a lot.
Now for some feedback -
Line spacing is a bit big, and the text sizes could be one step smaller (I've switched to small, but it could go smaller again, default size is what I would call large.
The user panel on the left side of a post is a bit wide, unless there is a funny line in the location, most of the users have the right hand side of this box empty.
I like sigs on the right, somehow, they look nicer over there.
Jury is out on the new post marker icons and green dots. They look nice, but are harder to understand. The old system of white or yellow envelopes, with red dots for where you have posted, was much easier to understand, and see the difference between them.
Vista did come out first, but only just!

We need new, glossy smilies to go with this new, glossy theme. Other than that, looks great.

Crowd is lovin' it! Well if I'm the crowd anyway, I'm lovin' it. Great work as always! I feel as if my addiction has been re-upped for another 130 years. (Don't ask what that means, simply that I like the new look).

Yes I agree... they look out of place.

Yeah, I think the contrast could be bumped up a few degrees between the indicators.

alternating colors in the lists, just a subtle shift would be good to differentiate between posts and threads

Don't worry, we'll have another 7-8 years to adjust to this theme.

I *love* the new thing. The only thing I'm missing is the icons next to new posts, so you know which ones you haven't read yet. With the new theme we see threads with new posts, but once we go in those threads there's no indication of which posts are actually new. That sucks, especially for really long threads.
Also, could we get a link from the forum to take us directly to new unread posts? Every other forum I use has this feature - most get there by clicking on the thread icon.

Got a picture of what it looks like? Because I just came into this thread and your post has nothing to indicate that it's new.

I think it has something to do with the forum software not being very friendly.

Political grandstanding. Does it work?
