    My System will be returning shortly.

    The sidebar is back.

    Menthel, by bottom navbar do you mean breadcrumb? (same as the one at the top?) If so, it can be returned.

    Here is a good post to illustrate why:
    Britain 'Heading For Recession'

    To me all the text runs together too much. The old style of quote blocks stood out a lot more.

    Let the dust settle.

    I totally agree with you, but I don't know exactly what's being tweaked, and when. In at least one (non-public) forum, the formatting of quotes changed a few minutes ago, to what was actually (IMHO) rather good. My next post, in a gaming forum, was back to the style you mention.

    So .... either it's still being tweaked, or changes have to be applied to various templates in various sections.

    If it is still as you refer to once the process has finished, I agree with you. But I don't think it will be.

    In fact, the style I referred to has just "arrived" here.

    I like it.

    Rather a lot actually.

    i just had to check that i was on the right forum!!!

    the only thing that stands out to me is the length of the thanked user bit...

    apart from that it's nice and shiny

    and the buttons are in a much better location now

    The "the following users have thanked x for his useful post" is a bit wordy.

    Make it shorter maybe?

    Other than that, and the quote blocks, it's fine, looks nice, and now I can sneak onto it at school as before this it's sort of glaringly obvious I've off-topic.

    Maybe I can pass off this forum as educational.

    I've modified the "thanks" phrase. It was a bit prosey.
