Would love to have a sig but I don't have anything sig worthy to be honest...

I like to know who's speaking first then what they say second. Now my eyes are jumping back and forth on my screen from poster to post to poster to signature to next poster and it's uncomfortable. It doesn't flow well in English reading. Also the gap left in the middle between poster info and signatures and short posts really draws attention to how much unused space there is.

Pickiness rant over.
That is my ONE complaint about this new layout. If nothing else, they should give us an option to change that as well.

As for the rest of you... Yeah, you come across like this.

Honestly I'm okay with everything, except for the short space and the avatars on the RIGHT side.
That's it.

Tony, the default PHPBB styles look like [censored]. People aren't going to like it. Deal with it.

Also, the rough old style has been uploaded to the forum under 'Allan' or something like that.

It has nothing to do with "not liking change" on my part. Although, yes, I will admit that I (And the majority of people) hate radical changes like this. This style of forum never looks good, never has, and never will. This particular setup just looks worse than most others I've seen.

It feels... I dunno, cheap. Lazy. This is the kind of default style you see on all those thousands of crappy free forums.

Also, smilies on the right? No thanks. I liked my smilies on the left and my color picker on the right.

EDIT: Hey, look, Subsilver. Good enough for me. This I don't mind. Wouldn't say I like it, per-say, but then I wouldn't have said that about the old Subsilver theme either. It looks good enough that I won't complain. Also fills in more of the screen than the old one does, which is kind of nice.

That was not there when I went to check on it about three-plus hours ago.

Eh, I don't mind the font colour chooser being whee it is. Moving it from the side to the top isn't much of a change.

Edit: @Tony, that note about subsilver being available wasn't aimed at you particularly, it just popped up a handful of minutes ago is all.

Huh, you can also change it back to exactly how it was with the 'subsilver2' option. That's kinda neat.

It's not exact, but it's close enough.

Neat, that must have just been added in a short while ago just after they added the Allan one. I wonder if there's any other side features available with this new version of PHPBB we seem to have upgraded to.

User Control panel, board prefs, etc. You'll find a dropdown.

I'll be heading back to the old layout then. This new one feels like a generic default layout. Also the 2K logo is cut off at the top with this one. Why? :?

That's because it literally is a generic default layout.

Fairly certain the old layout is a generic default one too.
