Listen to your customers, please.

I've put +30 hrs of setup into Threads (templates, options, navigating, etc) and feel I have a forum that is awful compared to the Classic board that took us maybe 6 hrs total to set up. I haven't even tried the Classic import yet either.

As Conrad alluded to, Threads' look is IMHO cheap, amateurish.

So far I am extremely underwhelmed by this product and overwhelmed by how much time it takes to config and admin, all resulting in a look and feel we simply cannot stand. We are beginning to think we made a mistake "upgrading" to a Threads license, but fortunately we still have a rock-solid Classic. In fact, I am off to look at the most recent Classic notes and upcoming changes and decide if it wouldn't be better to just stick with it.

FWIW vBB "feels" just as bad as Threads. I have yet to visit a single Threads or vBB forum that has that substantive feel, which is hard to quantify, of Classic or OT. And I've been on forums since they first came out.
