NoScript+AdblockPlus, USE THEM!!. I haven't seen these "new buttons" you guys are talking about, and it takes less than 2 seconds for all 30 posts on this page to load.
EDIT: Less than 1.5 seconds to post this btw.

I agree that the "New" buttons are too large. I prefer the previous version that wasn't so intrusive.

This site is getting ridiculous with all its mickey mouse gimmicks and shiny useless buttons telling me,
'hey look this is a new post'...
'hey look iamthwee you are surfing daniweb'
C'mon give the internet users some credit.
---------
And the reputation boxes are too large now, and contain superfluous information. I don't care if i'm affecting x's rating by 13.21 points, or if x has 123422 rep points. It's becoming an information overload, most of which is unnecessary and OTT.

Again: I'm reiterating because I feel very strongly about this.
The 'new' buttons are distracting and unnecessary. They don't add any features to the site - let me explain. If I have already been in a thread, I know approximately where I left off, and there is already an indicator that there are new posts there (the link is dark blue or something) so I know to go back. If I haven't been in a thread before, then I already know I haven't been in there, the link is still blue, and the 'new' button does nothing except tell me what I already know: that I haven't read any posts in there.
So you see - in either case - I don't see what that button contributes except an eyesore. I'm not trying to be rude because I think this site rocks, and I think almost every feature is pretty good layout-wise. . but this one. . ugh.

I think the previous small blue button was perfectly satisfactory.
I have the old image saved onto my PC and just use GreaseMonkey to replace it
It wouldn't be so bad if the image wasn't so 'in your face' I think it is too big and bold.

I just noticed the "Start new thread" buttons and "Reply to Thread" buttons have just got bigger. Why are the buttons on daniweb have suddenly been enlarged? Is there any advantage because I thought the buttons looked better smaller.
Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

.I'm not too bothered by the bigger buttons though

I suspect the larger buttons are to help newbes figure out how to post a new thread or a response to an existing thread. I've seen comments by a few people who didn't know how to do that most likely too inexperienced with posting on forums.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Is it just me, or has the 'Whos online' block disappeared from the end of the page as well?
