I think I could get used to the new layout. It's not that bad.
But I have a few questions/requests.
1. I remember that the last time the layout changed, users with special characters in their names had problems logging in. Two of my posters have special characters in their names, and their displayed names don't look as they used to look. Could you try to fix that?

2. It seems like the font color on boards with dark background colors (like Ian Somerhalder, Music, Fan Art) is black, which makes the text almost unreadable. I know you're still trying to work things out, I just wanted to bring this to your attention in case you hadn't noticed.
3. One thing that's bugging me is that when you use smilies, the text seems to be 'above' the smilie, i.e. the smilie is somehow 'below' the text. I'm pretty sure nobody understands what I mean. *sigh*
