Hmmm...
Can't say I like this layout. The type font is hard to read and makes the place look too much like challenger talk.com. All that really needed to be done was fix the problems with the apostrophes and the general posting troubles.

Don't care for the change
I have to agree, this new layout doesn't seem to be as user friendly. Why was it changed? If it wasn't broke...don't fix it...not liking this...

the old software was badly broken...thats why we fixed it. the photo galleries were all corrupt, there were coding failures all over the site, the polls didnt work, the upload feature didnt work, and worst of all, it was due to a security failure in the software, and the software company didnt have a fix for it. we had to rebuild the whole site because there was no "fix" to the old software.
roswell, we are using vbulletin, as do many other forums on the internet. at first, i didnt like it either, but ive been using it for a few months now, and i cannot stand trying to work with the useless old software...im confident that once we get the little bugs worked out, it will show that the change is for the better.
jj, im hoping to get a new design for the header at some point, but right now we have to get all of the little bugs out of the software. the change fixed all of the old problems, but im sure that there will be little 'tuning' issues around the forum.

The old version was a bit broke. Did you notice how every ' became '''? And for a while, it would not let you post if you used too much punctuation. But a lot of threads have gone MIA in the changeover, and our Avatars are gone. I'm sure they'll get most of the kinks out though.
