Sticky posts in forums are not as obvious as they used to be

I like the new look of the forums, but one thing that is worse is that it is hard to differentiate sticky posts at the top of forums from the non-stickies. Since the stickies tend to have fewer unread messages, it's harder to find unread threads in the forums. Also, each post takes up more vertical space, so I have to scroll more often in some forums (such as the iOS 10 forum, which has only 6 sticky threads but which leaves the first sticky a scroll away when I open the forum.)

This is still an issue, and now it's more difficult to tell unread threads from threads that have been read. See attached.
