There are still a bunch of process running in the background so some features might still be coming online. I don't know if that would include which threads are read or not.

Just about every site is going to a mobile-only look. I gather that's what this is about, and we're going to have to get used to it.
Personally, I think mobile site designs across the internet are ugly and sterile, and this is only marginally better than most. I hope this is a trend and it goes away someday.
Not going to lie, but I do slightly miss everyone's unique "signature" pictures at the bottom of their posts, but I realize that this was a much needed update.
The work all of you Admins and Mods put into making this board run smoothly for all of us is very much appreciated. Here's to a new season!
