I do indeed miss the sidebar, but keep in mind this is still a bit of a work in progress, so things like that may return.

I agree they are ugly as sin compaired to what they could of updated to. These forums are about the second only to fuzetalk in terms of bottem of the barrel. Its kind of silly they 'upgraded' to this after so long.

They went from "1998 forums" to "2003 forums"... It would be sweet if it were 2003. But its not. Its 2009.

urg.

I haven't exactly been keeping up with forum software... but what would constitute 2009 forums?

forget...did the old one have a search box... annoying its missing or hard to find.

i do like that the new page numbers are links instead of stupid java script buttons.

picture embedding is a plus.

too much unnecessary separation space between posts.

This theme wastes so much space. Fusetalk was much more compact in terms of usefulness - smaller fonts and stuff.

I wanted VB but I must say, AT lost it's charm with the switch

Definitely this. I love all the back end improvements from vB, but really, it looks quite a bit less professional than FT. Perhaps just because I have vB associated with so many absolutely terrible forums in my head.
