What a surprise this is. Reminds me of Z06Vette.com but more user freindly and less busy. I quess it will take a little getting used to, change always does. And the bugs will eventually be worked out. I like the new look. Now let me figure out how to post my sig.

New format...
I have run a lottery forum (http://www.lotterypost.com) for four years. Over that time I've upgraded the software a few times, and each time you get a certain percentge of people who complain.
Believe me when I say that (1) you'll get used to it, and (2) you'll find it to be much better over time.
If you're doing a lot of left-right scrolling, it is definitely because of the larger images. You can make it go away by increasing your screen resolution and making sure your browser window is maximized.
Windows users can increase their screen resolution by right-clicking the desktop area, select Properties, choose the Settings tab, and move the Screen Resolution slider to the right.
Some people have said this format is more cluttered, but for me it is much more readable. I'm glad they moved the forum to a format that is much more "with the times".
They do need to improve performance however...

Everything is too big. I feel like Alice In Wonderland trying to cope with oversize objects. Preferred the old one a million times. As has been said, it had it's own signature. This is bad so tweaks can't come soon enough.

Much slower and very busy looking, I'm sure I'll adjust but I really liked the look, speed and feel of the old forum! Just my two cents. Jeff
Wow, after using it for a awhile the this morning at work which is a 100Mb ethernet to 3 DS3's, this thing crawls, I'm seeing about 30 seconds per page to display. I can live with the new look, but the speed issue will severly degrade my enjoyment of the site, as I only have 15 minutes or so at a time to slide through the 5 or 6 forums I like to visit. Troy, I can live with the new look but please address the speed ASAP. I fear if it is this slow for me on this huge pipe I'm on, what is it doing to the slower DSL guys and the dial up folks. I'd hate to see the best Corvette board killed by folks abandoning the forum becuase it's too slow. So why the change??
Regards, Jeff

Already getting used to the new format and I even like it better. Great job on the new Corvette Forum format to everyone involved ! 
I agree, it is a bit sluggish.
