I've now used this forum on five different devices, four different operating systems, and I still don't get the angst over the changes.

About the only change I'd like, is that the Quick Links pulldown be on all pages, have it follow you around.

Other than that, I just don't get the love for how it used to be.

What the heck is the big deal with the new format?!? I don't get all of the whining about it. It looks just fine to me.

I read and understand that changes were needed. I'm all for change when needed or forced to migrate...... But can the current look be
tweaked to not be so noisy looking? I'm not *****ing--just observing (AND I AM A PAYING USER)---the sight is a little less enjoyable to
look at.
I endlessly enjoy the content of the site and can embrace change..... But being a paying user I believe I am entitled to provide feedback.

A little tweaking would go a long way.

As a webmaster my self it is hard to make this big of a change but due to vBulletin security patches and updates this was part of it. Think of it this way. Your information you have on here rather that be password or other things is more secure. I know all of yaw have been hearing about all the hacking that has been going on. This was a big security update for the forum. It does not matter if it is vBulletin, phpBB, or any other forum software out there. Over the years they have changed from version to version. Just give it time for the webmaster to make the settle changes that yaw guys like.
Uhmmm IB IS vBulletin.. Everybody keeps missing the whole point of the upgrade. It wasnt about OSO...it was strictly a corporate move towards alignment across their sites. IB owns and runs more forums than you can count. The fact that you dont like he new layout is really rather trivial in their corporate empire.

It took me about 2 mins to get used to the new layout. They've even been darkening the background to make it more blue ( a little darker would be nicer), but still it's not that big of a deal. It's not going back, no reason to keep asking.
