I had written a rather large response to this but couldn't get it finished without sounding defensive <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> . So I'm trying again.
If every .classic user that has converted to .threads (and there has been alot of them) had a terrible experience and ended up with an "amatuerish" looking forum, we'd have a revolt on our hands. Not everyone is going to be happy, but obviously there are those that are but you just don't hear from the people that are satisfied and aren't having problems.

Take a random count of 100 internet users and I'm certain most will say that Classic looks more professional.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">I like .classic as well. It looks great. But you are a .classic user. I'd guarantee you that a user that has been using .threads for the past several years would make the exact opposite statement. Honestly, if we changed .threads to look exactly like .classic there would be an uproar from the majority of current users because they are used to and like the way .threads looks and behaves.
In reality, it isn't a competition between .threads, .classic, Open Topic. All of the products grow and improve with what is being requested by the users. We are going to make things similar in design in a few areas to have some consistency throughout the product lines but each will maintain their own unique look in some areas.
