12 different fora might have been a bit too granular. The current choice of sections is well balanced imho and allows for some level of interest focus. The "unread" choice is pretty much equivalent to the old forum where one can view/follow all ongoing threads. I like this feature a lot as I do not have to go back to older posts to see if there has been any subsequent post(s).
The FAQ is a great idea, but I would caution against something that is too long and hard to search. My experience has been that the longer a FAQ is the less likely for someone to ready it. There would be a lot of value in a searchable "how-to" section.

Getting use to finding my way around now. The "recent" section is a great place to start to keep up with the latest postings and the community section I am sure will be widely used. Putting together a new forum is no easy task and no doubt there will be a little fine tuning here and there to come. If I may add one recommendation ....that is a bit of colour .....black and white does seem a little sterile but that said the content more than makes up for that. Thanks to all who have worked so hard on putting a new face to the iWC forum

The "recent" section is great. The "my posts" section is great like all the filters.
I cannot really warm up with all that categories. Information is so widespread. And on the other hand the screen has become so small now. It seems to be 1024x768. Why so small? You always have to scroll around?
Information now is less. There are now more user manuals, wallpaper downloads, no poster order, no museum information. And what I really miss in the forum is the button "Back to index" that brings me back to where I started.
I cannot answer directly to ones message. I have to quote.

I fully agree on the first one: "recent" and "unread" are very useful, certainly if you follow the developments at the forum avidly. But when you are quite active, "my posts" becomes pretty useless, because you don't get the posts as a result, but the threads you posted in. If you really want to see what you have written, opening the threads and scrolling through them, then going back to "my posts", is very cumbersome. As long as posts cannot be reached individually, improvements in this field are limited. This is all the more a pity because the same argument stands for the "search". Exploring all those threads to try and find what you are looking for is, well, not very nice. If you have set yourself a certain amount of time a day for the forum, then the efficiency of working with the information available could do with some improvement: less mouse clicks and less slide bar movements (sometimes a lot of them in one big thread). As for the efficiency for scrolling, maybe less white could be an improvement here.
Ah well, lets talk watches again. And I keep coming back, so there is something going on very well here.
Kind regards, Paul

And when those watches are shown, they even must not show that 24 but that mysterious 00, I guess?
