As long as the site performs well with that new theme, I don't mind a change.

The best thing about this current one is that it's fast and it's easy to find stuff. Most other forums aren't packed together so well... And even if they are, they're super slow on a slower internet speed connection and make me want to just hit the X to save my nerves.

Possible suggestion, let me know what you guys think;

Would it be helpful to separate the market from the more informational sections?
Not removing it completely, keeping the sales threads as a place for reviews and questions.

But I think it might be helpful to have a more robust market framework rather than simply selling via threads.

Just my 2 cents, I know I’m new but this is the most helpful and informative forum I’ve ever been a part of.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

I really like the design and i hope they keep it.
Personally i would like to see a badge that identify the "Original Poster" in IM Journeys section.

 

[LinksDomains]

Really love the way this thread grows

Let me start by saying that I love this forum, it is a goldmine of information and has a vibrant community.

But I don't understand why the #1 SEO/Internet Marketing forum of the world still has the look and feel from 2015.
I say 2015 because that is the style option you can choose in the options menu.

Are you guys going to update the forum style any time soon?

The current design it's good. I am here for the community, not the design OP

 

[Leon jamesh]

This is good as it is. No need for new theme in my opinion.

Site is fine, doesn't need a change. You joined only a few months ago, you know it has undergone a number of changes over the years?

You know our white hat friends over at warriorforum had their forum "modernised" and nobody liked it and left?

So they switched back to old but kept some new design (sort of hybrid) to try and salvage the damage, but nope, it still didnt work. WF is kinda dead now because of the changes.

This is Xenforo which is a modern forum software. about the styles, chaning it just make users to find what they want slower.
next level whould be NodeBB or Discourse (I personaly don't like it)
Xenforo is better IMO

Hopefully it's not Discourse, it's not as easy and intuitive as classic forums like vbulletin or xen foro

I think the (white) theme is nice and effective. Easy to use, you get a good overview over everything and the functions are good.

I like it how it is

 

[BHW-Help]

Interesting idea - this is a bit too big to be implemented immediately, so we'll take it into consideration for 2.0 functionality.

 

[macdonjo3]

I like the current design. The nostalgia reminds me of a decade ago when IM was completely different.

 

[RoboTech]

My suggestion would be: Remove the white version and duplicate the black one.

 

[Jomasdf]

Arguably, this forum is not just for it's old school users. Going traditional may not attract potential new people. The theme of the site doesn't have to disappear just because more modern design is introduced.

I personally like flat styles. The logo will always give me <3, but by just centering it with some other adjustments things could be better. Strive for improvement!

My suggestion would be: Remove the white version and duplicate the black one.

Other way round. The white version is perfect.
