Just a idea, nothing to do with the change of style - can we have a "Cancel" or "X" button on the reply box? Often I start writing a reply and think better of it. If I just leave the page, then it will still be there next time I go to the thread and gets in the way if I want to reply to someone. When I change my mind about replying I usually highlight the whole thing and delete it, then save the draft, but I'm not sure if it even works (haven't tested properly, but sometimes my old replies are still there, not sure if it is because I didn't delete it before or if the delete & save technique doesn't work). Obviously people got along fine without it for many years, so not too important. Just something I would find handy (hopefully others as well).
Edit: Three more things:
- My flag is still wrong (and I assume the other wrong flags are too)
- Can the Message Tools not be hidden behind a drop-down box if there is enough horizontal space to display them each individually?
- Feedback: I like how you can see someones likes & posts directly on their reply without having to go into their profile!
Edit 2: Thanks for adding buttons to go back to the forum from the bottom of a thread page! However on mobile the name of the forum is truncated when there is plenty of room:
