Well, the thread title is "multi-choice", and depending on your UI theme, radio buttons and check boxes aren't that hard to tell apart.

No, what you mean is "the Minimalistic theme isn't fully featured". AndrewFBlack has already expressed interested in solving that and updating it for maemo.org.

Well, I actually like the colors (I mean, black on white is the best combination for text), and, now that I know how to find the new posts, I'm fine with that.
What I don't like (as others have said) is the wasted space everywhere.
I'd get rid of the right column altogether (and relocate the menu at the top, so that I can scroll it into oblivion when I don't need it).

We went from...
COME BACK TO THE DARK SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a reason more people went to ITT, than went to maemo.org
BTW where can I find these numbers to support your statement... I always believed that to be so and could have used these numbers to support many of my past opinions on where efforts could be more productively spent for the good of our community.

I think this is just a matter of getting used to, but I don't like the disconnected or separated posts. I wish it were all connected with a slightly different even/odd color

So I did not often go to Maemo.org (notice capitalization for GA's benefit)
So I used that statistic to extrapolate that many more people went to ITT than went to Maemo.org. After all, If I don't go there why would anyone??
Yes, I know very scientific. Bet you 1 dollar I am right

It just seems like since the site always had a dark theme default, it would make sense to include a working usable full featured dark theme available at launch, IF it were not going to be the default.
