Ok.... Here we go!
COMMENTS:
1) Overall I like the new board now that I'm kinda used to it. I do have a little trouble visually because it's a brighter background than I'm used to. A little harder on the eyes IMO.
2) The RSS feed is a very cool addition!
3) re: spell checkers, although I haven't used it,
SpellBound can be used for Firefox users. I agree that taking spell check functionality out of SR.com and putting it on users' browsers is a reasonable expectation. The tools are out there and free.
QUESTIONS (I checked the pertinent Stickies I think):
1) Regarding the tooltip or alternate text that displays when you mouse-over a thread topic in the SSF main page, can that be changed to go back to the old behavior? You used to only see the tooltip if you specifically moused-over the topic's link, currently it displays if you mouse-over anywhere in the topic's 'cell' (to use a spreadsheet term). I find it really distracting and annoying to have a tooltip popping up over topic titles as I'm trying to read them. Maybe it's just me.
2) Is there a setting that makes threads you've replied to have a unique icon like the old board?
3) Yeti, WTH is that in your avatar?! It's freakin' me out.
