Since I'm accustomed to IPB V4, this board looks nice — feels slower when compared to the previous one, though.

Yeah I notice there is some rendering blocks in place, so it won't display until 'ready'. This does give a feeling of being slower.
We'll let it run over the weekend anyway, see how it all goes. Any problems/issues let us know too.

That's just a board thing

It's not an issue, just a quirk

While browsing the site and also during an actual post, I (personally) find myself struggling to define between different elements — just wish there was some more contrast (others might very likely disagree since my visual expectations are certainly a bit flamboyant.
)
Hope to illustrate my point, post-lunch — FWIW, look forward to the responses from others on the
beloved Metro look.

Password
length is now increased from
20 to
30 characters — nice!
Interestingly, SpamCop allows an upper threshold of
512 characters.

While posting, I'd like to be able to have the
Full Editor & Preview function, by
default — the
full featured CKEditor should be available,
without having to make an extra click.
A 3
rd party hook might have to be employed for this default, though.

Not sure what you mean, when I hit Reply I get the full editor, unless you mean Quick Reply which has never had that functionality

Oh yeah, my bad — was not seeing my button since that element was hidden through my element blocker.

Made some
subtle (preliminary) changes — now, the Board contrast is more to my liking:—

Links remain a dead-beat, dull, gray
color — without any definition, across each of the following state:—
- Normal state
- Hovered state
- Visited state

When using Chrome the Icon for the web page is displaying a number of notifications? in the tab along with the new Fav Icon.
However when you open a specific forum the Notifications list shows them from all forums not just the current one. I find this confusing.

little bit of functionality — ouch!
