"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."
Again, that is not entirely correct. Bungie.net (as a whole) is powered by an application called "BlamDotNet" which is a .NET 2.0 ASP.NET app that I am mostly responsible for (although runningturtle has started to help too), with many supporting modules. One, called BungieNet.Renderer, is all the actual pages and layout. Another, called BungieNet.Engine, runs all the security, groups, and account stuff. Another, called BungieNet.Appserver, interfaces with the stats system for Halo 2 and provides data for Engine and Renderer to show you stats. Also, another module is the IdealScience.IBB module, which powers all the forum stuff. It uses authentication and security services from BungieNet.Engine and uses BunigeNet.Renderer to produce the pages.
So, as you can see, layout and UI is not a product of the forum code. Part of its design means that the UI of the forum is entirely customizable. Which is a round about way of saying that problems with Bungie.net's forum layout exist, but are not due to the forum software itself.

Isn't that an oxymoron? Unless, of course, you're on phpBB to start with...
Although, this current incarnation of IdealScience is a bit crap, its difficult to navigate from section to section, but that can be fixed with the addition of a few links here and there. But thats probably because i don't use that overly large navbar at the bottom..
