Are you talking about the 'New Topic', 'New Poll', 'Notify' and 'Mark Read' buttons being in different order?
Yes.And I'd further argue that the order should be (left-to-right):
'Mark Read' 'New Topic' 'New Poll' 'Notify'due to the likelihood that that is the left-to-right descending order of use. (And the fact that I think that's how it was before?)
(Ya, I've done human-computer interaction/user interface stuff too.... )
Also, a suggestion for ease of reading only those boards that have new posts: Put a mini-"NEW" icon after mainline topic name (the ones on the top line for each board) when there are any new posts to that board. (NOT to its sub-boards, as they already get them now, which is GREAT, BTW!)
As a result the diamond to the far left of each board would now only serve as a general notice that there's SOMETHING new on that board and/OR one of its sub-boards....
As it is now when the diamond is highlighted you
always have to examine the main board to see if it has a new post, since the diamond highlights even if there's just one new post, at any depth in that board.
With the "new" icon you'd know even from the top view that there are posts, and exactly which board and sub-boards have them.
