New Layout
I grabbed a new, faster loading template to be the default for the board. In your profile, you can still use the old template.
(1) Go to your profile
(2) Scroll down until you see board style
(3) Select a template from the dropdown.
The reason I am defaulting to this template is due to increase spider activity, and I like it's simplicity alot.

Re: New Layout
I defaulted to Lite, because it is, well, incredibly light, using mostly divs for positioning. Do a view source of the code, it's pretty damn nice.
I think it will help with getting more of the older content archived, and once I make a few modifications and people get used to it, it might even become the prefered one.

Re: New Layout
Sure looks funny when you aren't signed in, but it does load fast.

Re: New Layout
Thanks for the screenshot. Firefox and IE both displayed nicely for me.
What version are you using?

Re: New Layout
IE forefox and opera were doing that but now they all look just fine.
I prefer the simple theme too.
Oh and I dunno if it's the changes or not but the forum takes only about 2 seconds to load on my phone now

Re: New Layout
The lite version loads fastest on my phone but the phone theme is the most functional - easier to thumbwheel thru the irrelevant stuff

Re: New Layout
Yeah, it's fairly plain. All the graphics and heavy HTML in the other layout made spidering difficult.
I'll working on making this one a little more aesthetic.
