I swear you people are way behind the times. I've been going to boards with this style for YEARS. It's professional, clean, sleek and functional. If you had your way we would still be using those ugly forums that are just a whole bunch of links in a line going down the page for each topic. Ugh how I hate those...

Try the white look. It is awefully close to the old look.

Actually, I'm still a fan of the nested linked threads system.

If the nesting were handled in such a way that you could see multiple threads/nest levels at the same time, it would be easier to browse.  However, the old skool system was very neat (orderly), because you could see exactly to whom people were replying, and you could follow the logical flow of argument and counterargument.

On the current boards, the discussion is more like a huge clusterfuck...you can't tell who's responding to what half the time, and there's no logical structure to the posts, because they're only ordered temporally.

Huh? It's weird because things seem the exact opposite for me.

I don't even remember the old forum. I'm perfectly happy with this one now.

Go to the "Profile" link and click on "Look and Layout Preferences."  I think that takes you to a page of different layout choices.  Like 7DV said, the White one is the theme that looks most like the old GDB.  (I dunno, I use a different one.)

I don't know how many whites there are, but I most like simple white (or is it simply white?)
