I know there's tons of negative posts about the change, in fact some are from me, but there is one thing that the new forums have that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you click the NEW button it will take you to the first post since the last time you read the thread. That was one of the biggest things I hated about the old STG forums, and (now old, but used to be new) FFG forums, having to slog through all crap to try and figure out where you'd last read to. Especially in threads with tons of pages that could be a real PITA.

So there's at least one awesome thing about the new forums. Gotta find the silver linings where you can.

Edit: Hmm... seems it doesn't always work. But it is nice when it does.
