Another thing, by seeing somebody's post in the old forum, you could see if the person was online or offline, can we have the same thing here?

It would be better if we get the list of threads posted on same topic while a new thread is being posted as was there in previous version.that wayone ca avoid posting duplicate thread.

@Webmaster,

Let me highlight some of the elements which are poor in terms of usability in this forum design.

One of the major turnoffs of this template is reduced width for the "Threat Titles" in Thread List View. For example a thread who's full title is "Thread: DRDO’s high dreams dashed, another setback for Indian dreams" is only shown "DRDO’s high dreams dashed, another setback for" trimming the last two words altogether. Truncated Titles are bad and doesn't help in understanding what topic is being discussed.

Another bad design aspect is un-noticeable "New Post" indicator. Previously a sharp glowing yellow icon used to indicate some post as new and new color is un-noticeable.

In the "Hybrid-View" and "Threaded view", the Posts tree doesn't noticeably indicate which thread is currently active. It has a very soft and slightly different blue background and bold font for the selected thread but this is too subtle to be noticed.

When we talk of web2, we mean easy to use websites and not just bold website. I would suggest you to subject this website to usability study test and I am sure you will find this layout has "PROBLEMS" instead of "IMPROVEMENTS" as compared to earlier theme. Old theme itself had problems that its Hybrid View had a bug but this template is bad in more than one ways.

Many thanks and Regards,
