Another note again (aestheticwise this time): Most users are confused with the right-sided avatars. I hope there is an option to return them to the left as in the old forum...
I second that. The "left-handed" version felt more natural to use than this "right-handed" one. But the most important thing is that the forum is working again
Hoorays for the admin!
I can imagine that the user information on the right looks unfamiliar. Because it was on the left in the past, and most forum put this info on the left site. The developpers of the new forum softwere decided to move the user information to the right. Their motivation was that most people read from left to right and the Content of the post is more important than Extra Information (username is displayed on the left on top of the text as well) about who did the post. I can follow their motivation (although the font size of the username could have been a little bit bigger, maybe I'll try to change that).
On the index pages of the forums you have the titles (text) on the left, and information (user and time) about the last post on the rigth. When you receive a postcard, then name/address/stamp are on the right and message on the left as well.
With user information on the right, the new forum lay-out looks a bit more refreshing/modern/exclusive designed (not a basic/standard design). I think that you have to get used to it. So I will give this a try. And after a while this can be evoluated. By manually altering the code it should be possible to change it back to the left.

Sorry to tire you with all these "bug" stuff, but since we are all testing what the new forum does, I think I should point out that [img] tag doesn't seem to be working at all..."It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image." is the message that occurs each time I try to insert an image in a post or signature (however, already existent posts have no problem with that).
The max width and max height was set to 600px. But there seems to be a problem with checking the dimensions of images. More forum owners have reported this. I've now disabled checking the size of the images in posts. Image dimension checking of avatars can not be turned off, so that might still produce an error? But when somebody posts too large images, which disturbes the lay-out of the forum, moderators may replace the image by a link.
