What do you guys think of this new design?

Original idea came from a member in this community.
Not bad, but wouldn't call it awesome, personally. You could do the markup without all those table cells too. Half a dozen divs should do most of it.

True, but it's using 1.x system, would it still be possible?
Oh sure. I did a 1.1.x smartphone theme that has completely customised markup and css on about a dozen templates. Anything is possible if you're crazy enough. :)
TBH if you like it the way it is and aren't planning to move to 2.0 soon I wouldn't worry about it. 2.0 markup is all divs and lists anyway, so you'll get to play with those if you change versions.
They're good once you have a handle on how the css works, but semantic markup can be like playing with springs, elastic and dynamite if you're only familiar with tables. Drove me bonkers when I started. Still does sometimes.

I agree with that, it's what drives me to try to be unique from the other forums, even though I'm using the default.
Also, here's how the second, third, etc page are displayed:

Seems a bit crowded and cluttered to me. Maybe consider getting rid of either the right or left side blocks.

I will, and instead, make a width right block wider.
