Like the new version. Much cleaner and simpler which is ALWAYS the best way to go!!!

Xenforo is a great base, but the stock styles and most Xenforo themes look fairly old fashioned and unnecessarily cluttered.

We'll be making more modifications to our theme soon. Suggestions are welcome.

Interesting. Xenforo eh? Just like DP.

I like the new look better. Looks cleaner and more professional.

I don't like 'changes' very much, usually (in general). In this case I find it looks indeed better.
BUT => I don't see stars anymore a.o. things AND
QUESTION => How I change the settings again, so I can see the last post of a thread FIRST instead of at the end ? With the changement this also seems to be changed.

Reversing the order of posts is no longer supported, but there is a "Go to First Unread" button on each relevant thread to serve a similar purpose.

Thanks, but that's not the same.
Can't you introduce that back (making possible reversing the order of the posts) ?? This shouldn't be very difficult.
Please keep me posted on this.
Thanks in advance.
