New Forum Layout ??

What do you all think about the new layout.
The L/H menu bar does intrude and make the forum look out of balance a bit and tends to elongate the posts.

Personally, I think the new layout is horrible -- it just looks a complete mess!
And, unless this is just me, when I am posting, and want to review the thread, as I am doing right now, the previous posts are crammed into a column about an inch wide, with all the other navigation buttons appearing twice.
So we have to ask...why the change?

Nick, from what I see it simply loads the forum page into a main window in the webpage instead of opening it in a new window. Yes you are correct, the previous post also re-opens the L/H menu bar in a separate window thus making the posts very small.
Me thinks that this should have been beta tested on a few willing guinea-pigs before going live.
