What I think you might have been seeing is links visited vs not visited.
Yeah, that's probably it. Whatever it was, I liked it :P
Another thing I just noticed is that in the notification dropdown, the top-most notification seems to be wrapping due to the proximity of the options above/to the right of it ("View All Notifications" * "Options").
Very slight issue, but felt off compared to how the other notifications wrap.

Good catch. Fixed it to be more consistent with layout of the Inbox dropdown.
"It is terrible. I hate it. I'm going to stop visiting here if the site doesn't go back to how it looked..."
You must remember the pitchfork rebellions from design changes we've made in the past. :)
Re: the white space on the right. Yeah, not ideal. Maybe we'll get creative with it.

Nice :)
Another minor annoyance I have (not related to the new design):
On the top of every thread is a "Showing all posts" drop-down, allowing you to filter based on points the posts have.
The filters seem like they reference some (very?) old system, instead of the number of votes which I would expect. 100 points up to 30,000 points.
(I would also potentially also only expect to see this drop-down in forums where voting is allowed.)
Hello to all my stalkers.
I've been around the forums long enough to remember a number of design overhauls. Most were kind of weird at first, think I even publicly disagreed with one of the bigger changes, but got over it and accepted it, and eventually stopped caring. UI changes often seem like being dumped out of a nice comfortable bed and into another comfortable bed... They're both decent, but you get more annoyed at things being disturbed.
Good luck to the staff in quashing the bugs and refining the polish. So happy it is someone else doing it rather than me. :P Web development has always felt like a bloody nightmare of edge cases and "Why is it doing THAT?!"
This new layout does not play well with 4:3 screens. The sidebar ads take up a quarter. Can these not be moved to the top/bottom for 4:3 screens?
Apart from that I like the new changes.
I'll look at this more. Our right info column standard is 300 pixels, which goes away once it takes over more than 25% of the screen (can confirm by resizing the browser window).
Ok that does work, 300px would be ~23.4% on my screen then. Just means I can't maximise it. Screen res is 1280x1024.
I don't know if it's me but didn't like Ubuntu font at all, it doesn't render well at least at Firefox. And gray theme is uninspiring imo

Great job with the new interface! I love that the navigation bar is fixed at the top of the screen and I don't have to scroll all the way up to find it anymore.
When going to a new post in a thread by clicking on the blue dot next to a thread (view=getnewpost), the loaded position does not take the fixed navigation bar into account -- the navigation bar covers the first new post's poster details (name, profile picture, etc.).

I'm not getting that behaviour. Anyone else getting/not getting it?
I'm using Chrome Version 54.0.2840.99 m (64-bit), with the following extensions: AdBlock Plus, B.S. Detector, Chrome Remote Desktop, Tampermokey and WebRC.
edit: I only added B.S. Detector yesterday, so it can be ruled out
