I like it, a nice forum only woe is the undersized-person-info bar... but that's okay :D
In fact I've always like this Vbb system so....
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

So long as this doesn't turn OT I think it'd be useful for comments and so on as we get things sorted out. That and it's an excuse to let me use the sticky thread feature.

Old one was significantly better IMHO; didn't look so cluttered and I could see what I was typing (since I am using a high-contrast scheme, it now shows black on black in the text box) I suppose I will get used to it though...;)

It's better. Much faster, and we can go crazy and add billions of Forums. Holy cow! A private message just jumped out at me! Cool. :D

No, actually, I don't care. Only thing that bothers me, it's all the unused space between the posts. it makes everything... mmh, how did he say? clutered? It's easier to first push the reply button, and then read the posts :p

For reference - we're toying with the layout, if you've got a suggestion we'd like to hear it so we can give it a go and see what people think...

Yeah, we're having a bit of trouble with the avatars (getting used to what we can/can't do and so on). Right now (AFAIK) we can just have one image and one title, and I'm not sure if you can put hyperlink code into it. But like I said, we're working on it - and eventually we'll get hosted peoples avatars up again in as good a form as we can manage.

As for the support forum, it still exists but isn't visible from the main page (as with the staff forum and the private forums).

Hmmm, I figured out your access problem, Jon... it's about mod status. And I haven't set up a forum for you yet, so just hold tight for a little while, and you'll be right as rain. :)
