I can see a black border around a white border with round corners on my Nexus 7 which is a bit odd. Image

It's certainly a lot more contemporary and fits with the Christopher Ward brand identity better. The guts of the forum engine seems to be the same though, which I think is mostly good.

Oh and I may have missed it but no-one's asked for a centre justified logo yet...

That's because it looks better on the forum page than it ever could on a watch face :D

It's the same on an iPad. But then it was yesterday as well (just different colours) so I've just always assumed that is how it should be on tablets.

Just hold down Ctrl when clicking a link or right click and choose open in new browser tab (or hold shift to open in a new browser window) :thumbup:

That way at least you retain control of what opens where.
Yeah, I know that.

1. Doesn't work on a phone
2. Is just more intuitive to click on a link and have it open. I have lost count of the number of times I've forgotten to open the link in a new tab and then gone off down a link rabbithole, losing my original place in the thread.
3. Will act like just about every other forum on the entire internet.

I like it, much more grown up. I think the old one was 2 logos ago so this was a needed refresh.

The favicon with the double logo Image doesn't really work in such a small 16x16 space. Perhaps better to use just a single logo as it looks more like a QR code now.

I'm diggin the new forum look. Feels cleaner and just nicer to look at.

If you ever feel like trolling us, make the banner image that hipster dude CW featured on their website during the re-branding several months back. :lol:
