The-T-Bar will have some down time over the next couple few days, whilst i do some server maintenance and ensure everything is running the latest versions.

I'm aware of a few layout glitches, which as normal didn't show up on my trial site.

If you find anything thats a show stopper let me know

The new layout will take a bit of getting used to but it looks more contemporary. I like it.

A question. Top right of the screen (Win 10, Chrome), where the avatar appears. I see a green dot, as if there is a notification waiting. Is that what it means? If so, I cannot find anything...

The green dot should show your online status, Changes if you are active on the forum or if you've simply left the page open and walked away.
Same dot also appears on your avatar next to each forum post. This way you can see who is still active within a thread. The feature is currently a little slow detecting your current status.

The Message notifications are still to the right of that area.

An issue i have.

When I land on the site I am already on recent topics page. All good.

I read the first new post, and if I don't make a comment, I return to the recent topic by pressing the back button at the bottom of my screen.
This always takes me back to recent topics page, HOWEVER, it takes me to page 2 not page 1. A bit wierd!
It only does this the first time, after that the action takes me to page 1 of recent topics.

I'm unsure whether this is my tablet or the forum's glitch. For info samsung tablet running android.

This button in the attachment...

I just noticed the insert attachment button isn't working, also.
So I can't show you the back button photo.
The photo name appears in the attachment box but doesn't appear in the text box when I press insert all. Then disappears entirely when I post the message.

Could be a peculiarity of my tablet, but I haven't noticed this issue with other sites.

One small but slightly annoying niggle with the new layout is that the pinned messages at the top of the various forum headings are no longer separated from the new posts. This makes it harder to find the most recent posts when browsing the forum.

Is this an easy fix?
