New transparency in the posts is a much better look. I see that the new post red highlight thing is also a gradient.
Would it be too greedy for us to request a bank of Automation related background images to choose from? 
Also, while we are talking about transparencies. Would it be possible to make the user cards even more transparent? They’ve gotten better, although it isn’t 100% good yet.
I was thinking it would be nice to have it change to different backgrounds each day or each week or something.
Will take a look. Referring to the grey background box over the top of the image?
Wow, your avatar with it’s transparent background works really well there.

Oh oh oh oh, could we turn it into a community based contest or something? Like a serialised ‘screenshot of the coolest car/ engine’ or something? 
Also, seconded what Leo said.
Screenshot has to be taken with buildings off. So we can just get the silhouette
But coolest screenshot/build thing, is different from making something that fits the forum.
I have to complain again about the forums working on a tablet. Today, it’s been unbearable, it’s crashing every 15 seconds, freezing chrome and forcing it to reboot and also, for the first time, the device as a whole rebooted because the forums crashed. Honestly, I have no idea what’s causing this, I just know for sure that my tablet doesn’t like it at all.
I am going to chime in once more.
When I created my Mustang thread in the My Ride section, I noticed the preview would show threads that were “similar” to the new one I was creating. This bugged me because it popped up at least 3 times.
I understand why that feature is in the forums, but I think it needs to be made smarter. I was creating a thread in the My Ride section, but I got pop-ups for threads outside of the Off Topic category, as one was from the Community challenge section, at least one was from the Sharing - 3d Artists Modding Forum section, and I think the third was from General Chat category.
My point is, the “this new thread is similar to x” feature should be smarter in its searching. Posting my mustang in My Rides section is a totally different thread than the “we need a 1990 fox mustang body” suggesting thread in the 3d Artists Modding Forum section.
If that feature could be tweaked a little to be smarter in its search by giving emphasis on the category you are creating your new thread in, it would be a better experience overall. (and slightly less annoying to regular users trying to create a new thread.)
Thanks
after using it for few days since last time i posting on this thread i have some opinion that hopely can be implemented or you find it useful

make post number visible on user post, because post number indicator on right below doesnt always show the right post especially if you read it from below to top. im not always jump to a thread from unread or latest post but at certain time i just manually browse from home > sub forum > thread, then from first post just because i dont need to read all old post to go read latest post i hit bottom/last post. everyone already complain how hard to track/remember a post and i dont think bookmark is convenient like why i need bookmark all post? i didnt know when i need to re-read that post and i dont which post that i really need to bookmark.

user option to not use keyboard, personally im a fan browser search function to highlight word in case of wall of text but sadly the forum search function somehow not always highlight word that i wanted to and i need to scan the word that i wanted. and i’ve see people doesnt really like the keyboard function in this thread
- I really like the new forum with all the improved looks and all.
- post 105 (and what comes shortly after) was I think overlooked by devs due to hate forum bashing that went on at the time
- When in inbox It’s very frustrating that you have no names only avatars. When running a challenge you get 15+ submissions and you want to navigate through with names in game and picuters in inbox…it’s a nightmare. Can we please get some names
- (this is purley an idea and not an important one) ReplyGif (or similar) add-on maybe?
Something odd I’ve noticed about the badge system. It seems to award me badges for the 1st time of doing something on my 2nd time, aside from that I’ve settle in quite nicely here 
One new issue I’ve just encountered: I thought that mentioning all the users hosting challenges would be handy to help crosscheck that changes made to the tracker were correct. However I’m only allowed to mention 10 users in a post.
Is it possible to work around this, or should I simply be selective in who I mention?
