Yes! You are right there, I'm having the time of my life, although I have always enjoyed myself.

I have noticed an inconsistency, on the Splash page, a button says "Recent Posts" yet the header button says"Recent Topics". May I suggest "Recent Posts" is correct and "Recent Topics" is wrong, since it's a list of all the most recent topics ordered by most recent posts. It is NOT ordered by how recently the topics were created. It may sound nit picking but it may cause some confusion for a new member or an infrequent visitor.

I think the labels are correct-ish but it depends on your logic. On the Splash page it is showing you the Recent Posts which is also logically Recent Topics as if they have been posted to recently then they are also Recent Topics. I think the button should say "Recent Topics" to be consistent. The header button (Recent topics) inside the forum should take you to the Recent Topics view. I use this all the time and its behaviour is as I expect. I think naming is correct in this case.
The Recent Topics should be ordered by topic into which the most recent post has been made. Dont forget the top topic at present is 'sticky' as it is an announcement.

Both buttons go to the same place - a list of topics with the most recent posts. Recent topics does have the ambiguity of recent relating to when the topic was created, whereas recent posts is more clearly relating to when the post was created, naturally they fall into a list of topics. Unless of course you use the "latest posts" option in the ndslr theme ......

I think that has the clearest meaning for anyone not familiar with the layout of the forum, just trying to avoid ambiguity for newcomers really. Every forum has it's own layout and terms, once the user finds their way around, the descriptions matter less, it then comes down to button position and location map in the brain, like we don't tend to look at the keyboard too much. I am still having difficulty knowing if the text in the splash screen Recent Posts button is green or blue. It either needs a change of text to "Latest Posts" and "No New Posts" or a different choice of colours like green and red, or change the background colour maybe? Frequently I think the text is blue but have a look anyway and find there are new, unread posts. Which kind of negates the benefit of the colour change. Either the colour isn't changing when there are new posts or my eyes aren't seeing the colour change. It did appear slightly green this morning. Maybe even a bold letter style might do the trick, like the header buttons?
