I actually like the up and down voting and think it will make me more likely to vote.
Overall I think this is a better, more modern look, so big thumbs UP for this whole design. I have two comments:
1. When scrolling the site using my trackpad, it's slow -- sticky. The page scrolls slower, and for a longer time, than the time I'm actually performing the scroll input using the trackpad. Is there too much junk loaded in the background of this page, making it slower to scroll? I'm using Chrome on a fast, modern Windows laptop.
2. I hope you will rename the forum about making the "Decison" to bareback. The spelling drives me nuts. I'm a queerfectionist.
Thanks for a good new look.
