A few things, two, actually

I think I mentioned this before, about external links. By default, the board tells the browser to open them in the same window. It would be beneficial to keep the board as the original window, or tab, and every external link set to open in another tab, or window if the browser doesn't support tabs. That way you can leave off the forum without having to manually use browser ability to return. A lot of websites do this, and I don't see why this board doesn't have that feature.
Another thing I want to note is the tree directory redundancy when at a level in the tree. We don't exactly see custom titles for a post we would view in the tree links, or where we are to the thread down to the post. But when looking from an end section to the threads within........well, now that I think about it, it isn't a redundancy, but perhaps there could be some color difference in the bottom most forum directory you are in compared to the upper branches of the tree displayed in the tree links below the main controls in the forums. I keep finding myself clicking the level I'm on when I'm already there, and anyone wouldn't know if a thread in that section updates anyways in refreshing it every so often, except the root board link. I think it would help especially now that the Remake has its own section, among other things. I was originally going to suggest removing the ability of the link at the Section you are at, except when you are viewing a thread in the section. Maybe the color code can show that, too.
