A new year, An improved new-old layout!

Not overly fond of every new post having its own block, vs the old style of showing a list of threads (one block per thread) and the thread being on that activities list if containing new post. Instead of having a full list of "new post" notifications in the Activities tab, all going to the same thread.

The new activity Stream is a plugin that has more option than the default one, such as displaying an entry for new members and new thread when they are one. If more people agree with you two, I could easily modify the query to display last post only of the thread, though there would still be a distinction between "new thread" and "last post of thread". As for random sprite, I like random stuff. I'd say 30% are from full sheets, most of them available here.

Oh yeah, one other issue/bug/thing. It seems when a shout post is over the limit as far as being to long/to many characters, it just drops the post. If it doesn't require moving mountains, a popup or "error" message saying you wnet over the limit would be nice. If not, we'll get used to it, just a suggestion.

I never tested lengthy shout or tried to set a limit XD, though I did mention to try to set one. The problem is probably an error on server side when shout is longer than hardcoded limit, thus creating a PHP error and sending the shout to the void. An easy fix would be to set a limit on the textbox with a CSS/HTML attribute, thus not allowing you to exceed X characters before even sending the shout for validation.
