Essentially, make it as much like it now as possible on the frontend while making the backend easier for you guys.

I agree

The reason I like AT forums is because of the layout. It's easy to navigate and I find it easier to read. The post is in one place, the user info in another (the left hand side)

I also like that pics aren't automatically placed into the threads

There are tons of vB themes out there to choose from, it may not be an easy decision for the admins to make on what skin is best to use for the new forum.

You can't, unless you are a mod or admin.
I'm sure they take bribes, though.

I don't know... I thought the same thing for a while myself... but then they put out a real beta test. Things are looking pretty good right now IMO.

The same could be said for Duke Nukem 3D

Useful vbulletin plugin is needed - auto image resizer, techpowerup forums has this. Loads the image then makes it resized to 800x600, clicking it will make it full size again but it prevents side scrolling.

I think I mentioned this in the plugin suggestion thread but I thought I'd mention it here too.

Was I replying to a useful comment? Was there really something I should have contributed there?

My first post actually had a point. The current theme of the Vb forums looks extremely dated.
