I clicked the button to revert back to the previous style. But now I can't find the button to revert it back to the new style. How does one go about doing that? Thanks.

Not a fan of removing the Health and Fitness forum.

The looks are ok I guess, looks very plain though compared to the top banner.

Still can't change sidebar settings to new style/whatever after trying how will it look with per-game one.
When I check site as a guess after I clear tl's cookies. http://imgur.com/dhl4bJv
When I'm logged in. http://imgur.com/do9PDAu
Is there any other way to reset settings or something?
P.S.
Tried in FF, Chrome and IE.

The "Other Games" section seems bugged. It's active but not showing. The "other games" part of it is visible as well.

Do you have "other" turned off in the site filters?

I really like the new organisation - I think it makes a lot of sense and will help newer people get to know the site better. It's very exciting!

The one thing that I'm a bit uneasy about is the lighter border colours around posts. It's harder to pick out individual posts, and when I scroll down quite fast (very quick skim-reading), my eyes are drawn to the stronger colours of the headers in the sidebars and not to the posts. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, it's the new modern 'silverish/light' look, and personally, I'm not a fan of it being used everywhere. But I'm sure it's something that I'll get used to over time, so minor issue. (:

Thanks for the great changes! Totally loving the sidebars right now. Also, I'm happy that TL kept the option to go back to the old organisation for people who like that (though I definitely will be keeping the new organisation) - such thoughtfulness is not always displayed!

Woaoaoh. Interesting changes! I definitely like not having to hover over streams to see their viewers anymore. I'm not sure I like the reordering of the sidebar, but of course that can be customized. I'm less mad about TL being down when I tried to submit a paragraph-long post now!

I agree with the people who said this has some ios7 vibe to it..

And yeah, bunkers why.

The changes are good.
Just one detail, the font that is used in the title of each section and thread title is not standard and displays poorly (looks like some pixels are skipping, it's weird) The font name is "Open Sans" according to Firebug.

Hm? There is only "Other Games" for the left side which is active(section) and visible(sub-section). Right side has "Other" but that's not relevant and doesn't change anything if I turn it on.

/edit: Also, if I read featured news, I can only see the section headlines but don't see the newer threads or the sub-sections.

Change is scary! But since you can change the forum grouping back to how it was I can get used to the other stuff, maybe I'll even like it better after getting used to it?

However:
I reverted back to the old forum block layout since I prefer to have the games broken up by category, this way the sub-forums I visit the most are on the top so I don't have to scroll so much (I guess having them grouped by category rather than game could be helpful if you follow several games, or don't bother with the customizing). As some people have noted, since "Fan Clubs" and "User Streams" are now under "Games General" they are no longer visable on the left sidebar if you remove the new "General" and "Tournaments" sections. Feels to me like it would be better to have them under "Community" to avoid this problem?
You can also no longer hover the mouse over forum post names that are too long to fit on the sidebar to get a pop-up with the whole title, which means I have to click on posts to see the title, which is not ideal. I noticed that you still get the pop-up on the right sidebar, so maybe removing them on the left side was unintended?

Regarding visual changes:
Having a few old windows up that I haven't refreshed, so far I can say that I liked the old sidebar headers better, they where a lot more light and fit better with the blue color scheme imo, these new dark ones stick out to much. Feels like my eyes want to focus on them rather than the post titles.
Not sure why borders around posts were changed? The old darker borders look better to me, it's easier to see the posts (although this is mostly when comparing the old and the new border color next to each other, so probably not a big deal).
The other visual changes are fine.
