Did anyone see all the news about the Ransomware outbreak "WannaCry" over the past few weeks?
The main reason for this is folks who are 'too used to old systems and don't want to upgrade'. Well, the reason why you HAVE to upgrade is as vulnerabilities are discovered in ANYTHING, you have to "patch" or "upgrade" to the new stuff WITHOUT the vulnerabilities.
1) Remember that IB owns dozens of boards, and they are rolling out the upgrade across the forums of different varieties in time. This isn't their first rodeo, and they are not punishing OSO.
2) Remember that IB actually OWNS the VBB software that owns this site.
3) Remember that if you want OSO to continue, that they MUST upgrade to keep it from falling victim due to vulnerabilities in old code. That's just the way Information Systems and Information Technology works.
The colors and how much real estate is used on your browser will bend a change and little bit over time, as IB keeps tweaking. This happens every time an upgrade takes place. Just be patient. The main thing to preserve/maintain is the content; and that's not going anywhere.

First thing - pretty sure this is permanent until the next update in like 8 years or whatever.
Second, it's funny you said that. I've been around here since Jeff started this site in the 90's and I'm absolutely sure I've seen this format used on OSO in the past!
Third, everyone always complains when they change the format or update something. There's pissed off threads about every update since the beginning...Well, maybe not the beginning because the beginning didn't have a forum and was pretty horrible actually LOL.
But whatever, it is what it is. Not the end of the world.
