The upgrade was necessary to keep the forums safe and secure from scriptkiddies and other scum as the software was outdated, and it was also a measure to fight spam bots as this version supports a new way of checking and handling such accounts and threads. I guess you weren't around when the 'oh so lame hacking-incident' happened years ago. So, explain this to me... You wouldn't be mad if I had asked in advance? Yeah, right - I think you'd be complaining then too! I'm really glad you have real-life commitments like everyone else, but why do you keep saying the forum's broken? I can't really see anyone else than you complaining about the layout, spacing, 'px vs em' etc - it's nice to be different and not just going with the flow, but maybe you should reconsider in this matter as it seems no-one cares or actually agrees with you? The color scheme is a different story - either you like it, or you don't. Most of the colors in the current scheme are actually picked up from the old design. I've also tweaked the colors more to rule out 'hard to read' text and links. By the way, no need to act rude. I host these forums for free, and it sure ain't free to me as I have to pay for both the server AND for software updates. I can of course take criticism as I guess you can too, but it should be a bit constructive at least. What you are doing now is just looking like a crybaby who lost his precious toy because the evil 'modetwo' took it and replaced it with a new and more functional one. FYI; the toy ain't yours alone... PS: You're welcome to use the Lo-Fi templates at any time.
