Oooo Exciting! I hope it looks fancy  Tongue

Also I hope some things that are little annoyances about this forum are fixed.

I hope that it is at-least as readable as this forum. The default theme for SMF (that Bitcoin Talk Uses) is very clean clear. Using borders and different shading between posts is nice on the eyes.
Honestly, the organde-whitr theme hurt my eyes a lot when reading it at night with my phone. It isn't structured as good as smf. I basically scroll over a thread and lose my coordination over the thread, because of the "all organge-white-black" theme. I can't see a difference between continuous posts, because there is only a very thin grey line between each post, and no shading at all.
I hope there will be improvements on this (classic theme, night mode etc)

Also, it doesn't seem to have any signature, avatar restrictions.

According to this post:

When we was saying that the forum design suck and don't look pretty good , we got told that this is more then likely not the last changes on the forum and there will be more so it shouldn't look like this , so are you sure that the screenshots you posted are from the final version ? Because if it's the case then I will be more then dissapointed and this is definitely not the work of a 1.5 million dollar forum .

The design has changed a bit since those images were taken. However, the theming engine is should be almost done by now.

There will be the ability to theme the new forum once it is done. I'm going to assume that even more themes are going to be developed after it's release by third parties, as the forum software will be open source.

There probably will be signature and avatar restrictions on the new forum once it is complete; not all the features have been added in yet.
