I just fooled around a bit on my end, It's definitely much cleaner just as buttons but I think it also needs more of a separation  from the links below it. I think it was better with the hr

Done.
(was tinkering with actually showing the total amount of new replies or unread posts but the requests hit the server very hard, oh well...)

Leaving this here for record's sake.

Any chance there will be a change to the icon beside each topic? Over 25 replies deems a topic "very hot" when I think most would put that number in the hundreds.

I would not even bother with making theme related changes as we are WAY overdue for a major overhaul for the forums, I will let Dan/JJ address it.

The attached is just something I made for myself to have an easier time browsing the forums...

It's much better now with the space below it
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Ideally yes. - If we ignore avatars (meaning we don't display DDF avatars on DDMS) then it would make it much easier...

Why are the avatars so difficult?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

But then you deprive the people!

You getting an avatar has been the best improvement of this forum since the institution of the like button.

Agreed. Although nice, they're not strictly necessary. I was just curious what the problem is.

Because I want to stay away from actually syncing all users to the main site as it will triple our database size and will result in a significant decrease in speed and performance.

The alternative that makes the most sense is to have the users stay in the ddf database.

For the avatars to display nicely on ddms, we would need to crop and optimize them on the fly which again would impact performance.

Theoretically we could just crop all avatars on DDF, but some of you may not like the result :-)

I'm really curious to know how many people would use social login... That's a whole different story

Can you show the avatars on the forum, but not on the main site?

That DDMS link on the bottom was well needed.
 Thanks
