well in my user cp i changed the colors but seems not to work also is there a way i can change lay out this lay out is confusing i am use to a lay out where user info is on left and post is on right not this user info on top post under is there a way to change it?

A few years ago most forum script writers changed from the "legacy" postbit where all the information is on the right to what you see today with all that information up above. I think the school of thought is that the postbit would not crowd the text as much, nor the text the postbit, and you could make more additions to the postbit with it on the top. We have the ability to change that in the site settings but not for the individual member.

On feature you may not have noticed yet if you are used to using the legacy system is you can click on your name or anyone else's that have posted and you get a drop down menu of options.

Hope this helps,
David
