    I prefer the new layout, with the username on top.
  • Ever heard of the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"??

    There was nothing wrong with the old design. The new one sucks. Can't see what threads I've commented on in the thread list for each forum and the narrow view drives me mad - it means more scrolling. If I wanted a narrow view I'd not have a computer with a widescreen monitor.

    What is the point in 1/3 - 1/2 of the screen being white blank sidebar.
    You need to hire some proper web designers, this is way to 80's. The latest protocols have features to support stretch width screens. Also I'm only viewing on a 15" widescreen laptop, not exactly unusual.

    WHY NOT USE SURVEY MONKEY ETC AND ACTUALLY COMPILE DATA & LISTEN TO THE USERS OF THE FORUM.

    The more I use it the less I like the member info bar across the top of the post, it catches my eye too much and makes skimming through a thread seem awkward somehow. :(
    I'm agreeing with this now as well.

    Still suggest ditching that really lame, amateur looking "placards" on the masthead. Looks like something a child would produce.

    I can't see where you can tell if you've previously posted on a thread. Before there was a bent arrow on the LHS of the thread title.
