A huge facilitation for me!

Like this?

Very "improved"...

It should look like this:

Great work as always IPS. Love the focus on mobile, this is very important, as more and more people are visiting our forums on mobile these days.
--------------------------------

This stands out to me: Is it possible to have the Follow text centered, even if the following count was in the thousands, there should still be enough room to keep the Follow text centered.

I was going to say also isn't possible to put the < Go To Topic Listing and the Next unread topic > on the same line? But would there be a circumstance where there would be more words for either, which I would then see how they both couldn't fit on the same line.

Too much empty space. It looks like an abstract Dribbble-layout for a portfolio, not for real use.

I love the new look; overall changes.
Hopefully, overall DOM size has been reduced.
Have you guys tested and compared speed improvements between 4.xxx and 4.5? Mobile? Desktop? 
Mobile should be just as fast as desktop (or close to it). I believe Google PageSpeed/Lighthouse default tests speed are Fast 3G/Slow 4G.
That's definitely not the case with the current Forums site. HUGE difference.
Yes, we all know that it's not the same as the default platform or how each site will run. But, it is the first thing that potential customers will experience/test.
I'll attach screenshots of the CURRENT speed per Google PageSpeed ... and when IPS converts site to 4.5 I'll share those screenshots as well.
Personally, I just want to see before/after results. 🙂

This all looks amazing and so much neater, but there is one thing that really bugs me a lot - it's probably the designer in me - is the inconsistency of the side bar top alignment; see below:

The gap between the top of the sidebar and the topic header.
Yet here it is aligned perfectly:

I presume there is a reason for this, or is it an oversight?
I don't mean to be picky as you've done a fantastic job on the update, but this one little niggle is a bug for me lol

Finally, a good change in themes!

The option will be available in IPS 4.5.

I'm guessing we'll get version 4.5 at the end of the year :<

Later this year doesn't mean the end of the year. 🙂

We want to beta test it thoroughly before unleashing it for everyone. It should only take a few months.

Note, Zapier will not affect the 4.5 release date which is coming very soon.

You are cruel! You show such wonderful features. I think version 4.5 will be the most refined since you have been doing it for so long.

More and more information about version 4.5 😄
So we're close to the alpha release.
