Go into My Home. Then Display Preferences. Find the entry for "Do you want the preview post screen off or on?" Set it to Off. Now, you will be able to make your Posts with one click, rather than having to preview it first.

I'm also very much missing the different symbols for read and unread topics. A major PITA to check every thread just to find out that there are no new Messages.

The new threads are differently colored. Brown means there are new Posts.

In the Replies column, it lists the number of new, unread replies in parenthesis after the number of replies. Also, topics with undread Posts in them have a different background color in the topic list. Unfortunately, the lighter background color is the same for read and undread topics, so that needs fixing.

A number in the column so far to the right where the useless information is that usually is ignored anyway... not good. A symbol says more than thousand numbers . Also, two different coloured backgrounds for unread topics, for a total of 4 colours: why so complicated if a simple symbol like in the previous board - or in any other good board on the web - does is better? Just making it different for the sake of differences does not mean making it better.

If you want to give as many informations on a quick glance as possible, they need to be as simple as possible. If you can get these informations in a quick glance, without having to start conscious thinking - like, now which 2 colors of the 4 were for new topics?? - it is much quicker and more relaxing to read.

Also, an individual choice between preview or post directly when submitting Messages, like before with 2 simple buttons, is much better than a general preference.
