I agree, most forums today use the "modern" look you see right now. And now I see that
some of you prefer the "classic" look where postbits (username, userinfo, etc.) is shown off to the left. Consequently, we will re-implement the classic look again and make it an option to choose one.

Also, it does not seem the front page gives you a popup when you have a new PM any more, it would be nice if the "X unread message!" link that shows at the top was made to stand out in some way, bolded red for example.

This is most probably a bug. I am going to look into this in the next two days. Thanks for reporting!

It would also be nice if in linear mode (the mode any non-masochist uses) the quick reply button defaulted as a reply to either the original post or the last post in the thread. Just someway to make it active by default. For linear users it doesn't make much sense to make them have to pick a post they are replying to, to them all the posts are in one string.

It sense in so far that people who actually use the threaded mode (anyone?) to which posts people in linear mode actually replied to. But I agree it is less usable, and when I assume that post people don't read in threaded mode, I may just as well turn back the requirement to pick a post to reply. DONE.
