I'm loving it. But...where is the "like" button. Come on, guys. Also, it would even look much better if the buttons have some designs on them. Just my opinion. Either way, it's awesome.

Great Look
It's a much more better look, love the color scheme... It's brighter, and provides a more clear view over the green bar and blue buttons... Loved it...
As I said elsewhere, my first thought was that the world was going bright, I had died and I was waking up in heaven. As I type this, I'm getting used to it. My first reaction was shock/surprise. Now, it's.. hmmm.. this is kinda cool and current. Besides, it makes my avatar and many badges stand out more.

This was worked on for quite some time, we do hope everyone enjoys it. Please post any bugs you may spot here.
Thanks!
The new look is cool i just have a suggesstion that if we want to delete a quote then we should have a different tab for it so that we can directly delete it as i have tried to delete my quotes where i have posted twice or some quotes which we posted wrong but when i try to select the tab it says edit or delete but i never found how to delete a qoute as when i select that tab of edit or delete it only edits the quote dint gvies an option to delete completly the quote so please include my suggesstion in your to do list and provide us a tab to delete the quote. and one more thing when i select a multiquote i dint find how to put 2 or 3 quote in a single quote can you let me know that also.
Thanks.

While I like the change to the report post button, could it be modified to say "report" on the image, as well? Newer users might not know what the new icon means and ignore it. Where if it says report, users know what it's for.
Also, the new white background is a bit of a shock. Could it be adjusted to something darker, even the old blue color? Just something that could give it a little more contrast.
Thanks
Other than that, it looks good. The updated home bar is nice
I agree it does look sharp. I may be in the minority but I would prefer the left and right borders be a tad darker to make the "workspace" in the the main portion of the screen pop a little more. Great work though.
I agree the like link needs a button. I also agree the text is fuzzy.
I'm also considering converting all the current "thanks" to likes, and turning off the thanks system. Don't worry Steven, they'll all convert!
*cough*
<----
I still think we're missing point on Likes. When we first asked for another mechanism besides thanks, it was so that people could point out the important posts.
Example, you get a problem thread, partial solutions get thanked along the way, but when the final solution gets posted, it was becoming too hard to use thanks to see the hot post.
So, the Share button allows us to share that an answer exists - to the outside world. And Like/Thanks has grayed over the distinction.
Respectfully, would still like to see a mechanism that allows people to point and say - "This is the solution, this is the one to share, this is the one to see." - in addition to ongoing recognition, whether that button is called Thanks/Likes/My Hero, etc etc.
The colors and design is a little plain and simplistic, but that can be a good thing sometimes.
I think with the change, the little heart in the 'like' boxes should be changed to an android sprite.
-Not a fan of the 'like', it feels too much like BookFace to me. I prefer the Thanks system since it is more friendly and considerate. Jus' sayin'
There's a redesign? Huh - the things you miss when using Tapatalk!
Have to check into it when I rescue my Xoom from wherever I last put it (I know, I know - it's kinda hard to loose a 10" tablet in a house, but I have...)

When you view the forum from firefox, it looks great!
However, when you view it in chrome, the font is a fixed size. That's a real problem for those of us with poor eyesight (including me ), as zooming into the page no longer increases the font size.

For multiquotes, hit the multiquote button on all but the last post you want to quote. Then hit the normal quote button on the final post you want to quote, and they'll all be there.
I'm not sure what you mean about deleting quotes though. You can just edit your post and remove everything between the [quote][/quote] tags to remove a quote.
Looks like a super improvement over the old. Maybe it's my monitor idk, but the button fonts look like they need sharpening or the font looks funky? The work that goes into this is much appreciated by me so thank you

I like the overall design much better... however, you youngsters, please spare a thought for the old farts, like me, who are at an age where reading glasses and slightly larger fonts are a must.

It's not my fault that I was born too early!
I'm browsing on firefox for the moment. Zooming in on that does increase font size as you would expect.
Is there a way to put an acceleration or delay factor in the top-of-page mouse-overs for the Phandroid sites?
When I use the browser update tool or type in a url, it causes annoying flashing as I mouse past them.
And I know that this won't fit with policy, but I still think that having a million people learn that while in the forums, Home != Forums home, you have to slide over to the Forums on the other side - is kind of wrong.
The Phandroid logo just above the Home does the same thing. Maybe just move the Forums to the far left and drop Home, both from here and Phandroid.com. I think that's better and is simpler.
No one, I think, is going to use the smaller Home button to get to Phandroid when the web de facto standard exists - tap the logo.
PS - plus it puts Forums and Phandroid links closer together.

Is there a desire for the more simple graphics such as the edit/quote/thanks buttons etc? Are web 2.0 buttons not desired, they seem to be a little more modern. Not trying to shake things up too much though, it's the former themer in me.
I agree the like link needs a button. I also agree the text is fuzzy.

I say just turn off the "thank" button for Steven only.....
