several of us have already told you the changes we've noticed - and that we don't like them.
so - you can continue to ask the same question you've been asking, continue to get the same answer you've been getting - and continue to ignore the feedback you've gotten.
so why keep asking?

Notice the block in red. I for one don't like this change. I don't care to see the events & the random pics were better on top.

I think the change is a positive one and here's why...
1. Putting the pics on the left raises more of the forum to a level above the fold. I can see all the way down to the "events" forum before I even have to scroll (on my small monitor).
Darin, I would put the "online ads" folder in a less visible place, just as a matter of keeping the interesting stuff above the fold for new visitors. (Maybe put it after the health and fitness folder?) Just an opinion.
2. You can only put so much crap ABOVE the forum itself before the forum is completely buried by "extras". If you use a left column for the pics and events and what-not, you can do a lot more with it without completely
ing up the layout of the forum everytime you want to add or remove something. You add a block and remove a block and nobody will even notice.... as opposed to what happens when you move a big block from the very top of the forum.... ya know, when it ruins the lives of four or five innocent individuals.:ugh:

they show up under the "view new post".
makes things way to slow, and who wants to waist the allready slow mobil internet speed loading random pics.
on a good note i like it for the pc side skins.

btw, if the pics/etc really bother you that much, click the little arrows on that block to collapse it so you don't have to see them. There will be a whopping 175pixels of blank space which is negligible nowadays with the high resolution most people run nowadays.
Here's the ONLY thing that bothers me.
On the forum home page, the link for new posts is now at the very bottom of the page. I have to scroll all the way down, past a bunch of pics, to get to it.
Any way to bring it back to the top?

Really?
It appears at the top for me. Between Calendar and search.

Look at www.x-h2o.com (the homepage) and find the new posts link.

I misunderstood what you meant.
I don't think it's ever been on the main homepage. Not that I've paid much attention...

I got most of it fixed on the mobile theme, not properly but it's better than it was.

Another question on the mobile skin, when viewing new topics, i have a little box that appears saying "no new posts" but it obscures the top portion of the viewing area. Is there a way i can disable that option?
Are you logged in? I don't see that on my blackberry, anywhere.

Sorry, I'll clarify. When viewing a "thread" the box appears in the top left to indicate wether any new posts have been added to the thread. The box itself is not very big but a space about 3 times the size of the box gets obstructed, reducing my viewing area.
I guess it's a give and take thing. If I select "optimized view" then I get the "no new post" box but back on the main pages, buddy list and other stuff all appears at the top with all threads displayed underneath. If I select Wide page mode, the little box disappears but the buddy list and other stuff appears down the left side and shrinks the threads into a narrow margin down the right side.
I am viewing on a Palm Treo 755P with Palm OS if that helps. Not a very common phone so i won't expect it to be supported that well in webpage design. It's also very liveable as i don't view on my mobile that often.
