When I browse on the web (which is a lot of the time) I do so without an account but with cookies. I no longer have visited posts in bold.

I agree with others that it is a bit on the bright side. That doesn't bother that much, though. I only have one small issue, which is that it's now quite difficult to tell which threads I have and have not read at a glance, based on the boldness of the link. A screenshot for reference:

Making links that have been read a different colour might be a good solution, rather than just de-bolding them.

New design is good, though it uses "Roboto Slab" according to Firefox Web tools. But due to lack of this font (does the web site use Google Fonts?), I see everything in Sans Serif. As far as I see, no other font name is provided in CSS as well.

New design looks good, although I get used to see the old one) One thing I don't feel comfortabale about is default color of links. As for me this *red* color is too bright and hurts my eyes. I propose to use more *dark red* as a default (I like that one that is currently used for hovered elements #742620). But instead maybe use bright one (#b03931) for hovered elements. And I agree that it would be good to have another color for visited links (maybe *grayed red* like this: #9E7673). Overall look is clean and minimalistic. Good work!

Btw, drop-down menus which do not drop-down on hover are really strange. I've never seen a drop-down menu on a modern website which required you to click to open and click to close.

I do think huge drop down menus are problematic, but in our case we only have a few items so it shouldn't be a problem.

That's wrong. Can you post a screenshot?

Yes, Roboto Slab is loaded from Google Fonts.

Yes. This will confuse new visitors browsing on the desktop.

This design is a major improvement in terms of layout, but still behind when it comes to UX(User Experience) and Accessibility. The most important thing people never understood about Jobs. Coders are weird :)
