Need input from you all

[e-paw]

After living with this new version of our forum I have to say that I was mush happier with the old one. It's at the point where I very seldom post anything anymore. I miss the old "View active topics" link that we had. We do have a "View new post" button, but it's no were near the same. Under the new posts link I get to see maybe 3 or four threads, with the active topics you could have a page or two to look at.  How long is a post considered "NEW" before it is removed from the list? If I don't get a chance to check the site for a few days, can I be missing something? I'm a very Form fallows function kind of person. A flashy new look just doesn't do it for me,,  I would mush rather have some real substance behind it.  Is there any way to have that feature back?

I have one other question, although a small one. Some of the avatars now appear >squashed< after the change to the new look. Can that be fixed?

Thanks.
