Uh, whoa. Looking good UT. I like it. It *really* took me by surprise tho. I guess that's what I get for getting online as soon as I wake up.

Oh look IMG codes aren't working! Oh look, all our usual smilies are different! Good gawd I've got work to do here...

I shall not panic...I shall not panic...

Seriously, this is a slick new interface. I like the layout but will hold off any constructive criticism or in-depth reviews until you get it tweaked the way you want it and *I* have a chance to get used to the feel and look, as well as the new stuff.

I don't know. Looks complicated. I'll have to turn the light on to go pee, or I'll bark my shins for sure.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

But I know I'll get used to it, and so, I suppose, will everyone else!

OK, I've worked how NOT to show everyone's AGE on their posts.

You may want to edit your Location, because that's stayin'... I hope people use it to show their actual location, and not just use it as another kind of User Title.

People have convinced me to leave in the post count and now that it appears on the right, maybe it will have a different impact.

Gee, maybe you should get up before the crack of noon

TESTING: In linear display mode, I used the "quick reply" button in Perth's post to reply.

i id the same to yours. why no quote in yours?

If you view the topic in threaded mode, and use the quick reply box at the bottom instead of the quote button within a post, you get a non-quoted reply. There are too many ways to reply to posts, imho, and they all behave very differently and create vastly different impressions (some create unintended subthreads, for example). A subthread post that doesn't quote the parent can be misinterpreted since the post shows up in different places depending on the display mode. Read this topic in threaded mode and again in linear mode and you will see what I mean.
