In short, we are upgrading the forum software to a new version with added functionality.
Thanks. Overall, it looks very clean. A few trivial UI comments below:
1. Is much more mobile and tablet friendly as the need for scrolling is minimized.
There is quite a bit of wasted vertical whitespace near the page top on small and large screens.
Showing date is probably not useful and could be eliminated.
The search bar and button are redundant, the search button could be removed.
Calendar could be on the same line as search. Calendar could be just an icon
Search and Calendar could/should probably be put into the red stripe along with
Home/Tags/Members/Feature/Contributions and used only on a separate screens.
For mobile devices, the search/calendar features would then be put into the triple dash menu.
Changing the introductory vertical would allow quicker visibility to the first few threads titles.
All the color rectangular block buttons are oversized.
