The shadow looks good too. I don't know, maybe the new look will grow on me...

Change is hard...

I really, really, really like not having to scroll all the way to the top to hit up my characters or other forums!

I like the sticky header, functionally. The look is also solid.

Change is scary, but I'm happy to embrace it. :)

ETA: I'd move the new-page anchor down under the head on a new post (per Candi's suggestion). Otherwise the sticky header covers part of the post and it feels a little meh.

I actually changed how the anchors are positioned; they're now 70px above where they are, which is the header's height.

I continually have to scroll up to read a new post in a thread -- are you not having that problem?

Windows, Chrome, here.

(specifically I have to up-arrow twice)

I'm not, and I use chrome too

Hm... from my side it's fixed as well... I'll have to look into trying to replicate it.

Works fine for me, and I'm using Chrome too.

I'm very happy with this change, specifically on my phone. Having the header and footer available all the time makes it much more usable on a mobile device

I dig the new look. Seems to load a bit better overall, but that may just be me.

Looks great on my Safari iphone.

Issue for mobile: now it is impossible to navigate to PM's page if you don't have unread pm. (Impossible to hover over avatar)

You can get to it, Mihey. Hold avatar down until options appear, then back out, and should have a couple new options hanging off avatar. It is finicky, tho.

On my iPad (iOS 9.3.2) , tapping my avatar brought out a menu for Profile, Messages, and Logout.

I did notice that while the header bar was new, the logo was the old one. However, logging out, quitting Safari, and reloading GP seemed to work.

For my chrome browser when I tap my profile avatar, options shows up for second and I am redirected to control panel. Holding on avatar and backing out works for me.

I can change it so clicking the avatar opens the menu instead of opening your profile.

I think these are positive updates, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have in store.

The sticky header is useful, but I don't like the changing size, and the bigger size in general. On a notebook vertical space is always little for me.

I noticed the transparency, and though it does not bother me, it didn't win me over, either.

Now, if only there could be a "Back to the forums" button at the bottom of the thread as well as on top... :D
