This is quite a pleasant surprise/change. :)
I wonder what happened to the 'view your posts' link on the index page?
I always found that quite helpful. :roll:

BTW I cant tell how many customers Otoy have now by interrogating the members list. :P
Edit: no wait I can... :mrgreen:

Is it arabian version? Because Usernames are on right hand side. It is a bit distracting for my brain. ;)
Otherwise, nice layout. Fits well to the whole page.

I liked the old style, I like the new style! It is kind of smooth and pleasant for the eye,
I like clicking post title to open 'edit', I like the new symbols, got to find out the meaning of some.
Got to explore a little more not to miss a feature that might be there :?:
I agree with mbetke that avatar on left would be easier for the brain,
but going the same direction as everyone does not get you somewhere else ;)

Havent seen it on my desktop, but it doesn't look great on my iPad (although that may just be a preference thing). The avatars etc being on the right is really throwing me too. :)

I think we just have to get used to the avatar being on the right side.
The important thing is the post itself and now it begins with the text,
and the eye is not distracting by the avatar, because our (western) brain wants to start from the left.
When writing tis post reply I noticed scrolling down the avatar has temporarily dissapeared and I can read more of the existing posts, because they have more space and the layout stays the same.
So probably there are a few good reasons to let us reset our brain :mrgreen:

I don't really like it.

First of all I don't like how the layout is unconventional. Secondly I don't like how the size of the page is fixed, rather than flexible to the window size. Thirdly I miss the quick reply feature at the bottom of a thread. Fourthly, I often browsed the "view new/unread posts" section when I first logged in and looked down the sub-forum column for anything in my interested areas. Now the information is spread in an inconvenient way. I also often scanned for particular users to see what they'd posted.
