Other than some spammy post, everything seems to be working. I feel like I'm back in high school learning phpBB again. Fantastic!

This new style looks geared for a i-phone. It looks a bit bold and "large" on a full display.
When i experimented with changing the size of my browser window, it scales nicely.

yes.

the styling has a ways to go. i will try to condense some of the elements to look better on desktops.

overall it does seem a bit faster to me.

Is this, like, a permanent thing in the making, or an update the software stand-in?

I might be the only voice to say this but it looks real good on my iPhone and I can navigate really fast on the tabs with it....

I just did some perusing on my droid and it is nice!

Rotation also works like an absolute charm, and images are rescaled on the fly.

As soon as I am given the dimensions, I am on it. Pretty damn sharp edges around here, makes me think VW Quantum early 80's Audi Quatro, LT trucks, vinyl coated cardboard dashboards.

The board does seem a little faster. Is there a setting for "theme" that can be set by the user? There's an awful lot of white and light colors that makes distinguishing posts from one another difficult.

I'm happy to see the auto-login working now. It's taken just a little effort to get used to the new navigation, but seems an improvement overall.
