We had some issues with mail which have been hopefully fixed. I have activated your account manually. You should now be able to post at the forums.

The specified username is currently inactive. If you have problems
activating your account, please contact a board administrator.

I tried to register again but it tells me that the username is already
in use. Possibly there is a problem with the forums?? Anything that
I need to do to get registered? The name I registered under is: Gen2ly.

- The forum category headings are pretty, but if you’re going to use that gradient, you really need to right-align it so that the gray goes almost all the way across. It loses almost all of its visual separation when it stops a quarter of the way across the page. It may as well not be there at all.
- KDE has a consistent font in all of its branding, and the logo banner doesn’t use it. It makes it seem like an unofficial, vaguely-related site, instead of a part of kde.org proper.
- The horizontal margins/padding around the “Search” and “FAQ” links look incredibly wrong and out-of-place. The search box below looks like it wants to be aligned with something in that header, but it isn’t. (Maybe “Advanced Search” or something would make a better link closer to the search button to remove visual redundancy and end-user confusion.)
- The whole “Login/Register” thing up there is a tremendous waste of space and I can’t find a compelling reason not to have them in a single row aligned next to each other. And while I know this is a phpBB convention, I don’t think the “view latest posts/view unanswered topics” belong in the same place.
- The “Forum/Topics/Posts/Last post” bit above the forum doesn’t actually seem attached to anything. With the UI structured the way it is, this really needs to be displayed below each category heading instead of once at the top.
- The line-height of the fonts seems to be excessive and while it increases visual spacing, it seems to actually inhibit readability a little bit because there’s no margin between certain related items (see: spacing between forum descriptions and moderator/subforum lists.)

The only problem I see is that it doesn’t seem to be a fluid layout which should feel a bit weird for some people with large resolutions.

@blueget: we all have our preferences but I think perhaps maybe they can keep the old layout as a user option. Try suggesting that.

The New Design just sucks.
