Looks great... as of right now I'm not experiencing anything slower than before.

Looks really cool. I like the insomniac eye logo.

It's damn good. But I really would like to have that News Stream thing back, it makes life finding new topics a bit easier. Also, minor detail, when one replies to a topic, the "Recent Topics" bar is above, is there anyway to move it to hte bottom?

I'm liking the color and theme. Be sure to pass on our thanks to Rii for helping make it happen.

My own preference would be to have less onscreen at any one time. "Less is more", that's my motto! As well as looking cleaner, it could speed up page load times.

As Skittlez mentioned, Recent Topics needs to be moved. We should have it just on the Home page or the main Forum page instead of being on top of every thread.

My other preferences would be to...
- Remove the full thread previews on the Home page. Prefer not to see contents of threads before opening them, e.g. giant pic of sklooshes face 
- Remove the Top Topics box from the side panel. Its not really valuable info since threads with most posts are often out of date. Recent Topics will usually be more beneficial.


The Inferno theme is good but could you also install some extra ones so that people can customize the forum appearance if they want. I found these 3 to be quite good:
Night Sky - http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2468
Blue Moonlight - http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2011
OpTic v2 - http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2370

• If you want to utilize the features of Simple Portal that gives all the extras like the shoutbox etc then this is a Can't be done. This is because Simple portal will only allow one theme to be assoiciated with Simple Portal.
  
  This is why i ditched the custom MineCraft theme i made and just made a seperate banner for MineCraft using this theme...

This looks really good! Seriously, I like it.

Just one thing: I keep getting logged out after a while. I'd like to have the option to select how long I want to stay logged in.

Is there any possibility to have a "all unread topics" page?
Also, it doesn't appear that we have prettyurl installed yet.  A fix maybe?
