Hmm. I know that I am biased toward the old way, but I might be able to get used to this. Not sure if I would want to just yet. What does everyone else think?
@Phoenix - I like the new changes (stretch fit yay!) but did like new posts on the side vs on the top. Feels like a blocker to the content I want to see.
We would get what we had before on groupings if we have a sidebar like that. I can put that at the bottom of the forum, but I think it gives you an opportunity to see recent posts at the top and the ability to read them if you want straight off.
