I see sigs and back text under them have both been fixed, nice work  :)
I don't think sigs have been fixed. (at least not all)  I've been fixing ones I see as I notice them. It would be a good idea for everyone to check their usercp and check things themselves. There are also a few new options there as well.  8-)

for everyone to be happy, you can switch in your user profile back to "Oldstyle" if you prefer the old version ;)

The 'OldStyle' theme looks really messed up for me. Its like the forum upgrade added more options to it or something- for instance, when you look at a board, it says Moderators: and lists out whoever is there, but it also says Contact whoever, send a PM to whoever, add whoever to buddy list, etc. which is pretty damn annoying when there's about 4 people. Also the bottom of the page where 'users online' is displayed is all offset, along with the options under a post.

Try the old style now. There was an advanced option set on forum which was causing this. It has been disabled. The option is not important enough to be enabled anyway.

Both styles look much better now, although when I am typing a post the font is overscaled as well for some reason, like at the immediate upgrade.

What was the advanced option about anyway?

Typing message seems fine to me. Maybe a setting on your end? Default is set to 11 Verdana. The feature was only a quick link to pm online members and some other useless tools.

Alright, I did the text size to 9 pt and it seems to have fixed that, although compared to the posted post the scale looked off.

On the bottom of the home page of the forums where it displays the "key" I guess of what color is what, its orangish, but it looks yellow / gold in his posts to me.

I also want to add, for some reason the forum topics are bugged... It keeps flagging something as new even though it dates from several months ago...
This was due to the way the upgrade was installed. The installation was completely new and all the old data had to be migrated over. That's why all posts appeared as new. (techically they were) On the index page of the forum at the bottom right (near there anyway) there is an option to mark all posts as read. Once you do that everything reguarding new/old posts should be fine. The new forum actually fixed this feature. The old forum would reset the new post image if you clicked the last post in any forum topic. Now, it doesn't reset until you visit each forum that has new posts (or read all new posts). The only other issue that I've seen thus far is with signatures. The yabb people stated themselves every user needs to check their sigs and fix them as needed. There was nothing we could do about that. (sorry) I have been fixing peoples sigs though as I see any problems.
