Smart Design - Less is more
 

Hi*

One thing I hate abut most forums is excessive clutter. Neither VB or IPB have got it right. I understand that there are lots of components and information that need to be displayed* but simple design is smart design. I have a hard time navigating and reading all of the content on VB. It would be a breath of fresh air to see VB work towards a more simple forum experience. With a bit of time and due attention* features that don't need to be prominent can be subtly hidden away and displayed to the user only if they actively seek out the information. A prime example is the image attached.

Please please please say you will think about it. This design is just as cluttered as the old one if not more* VB should be web 2.0 by now.
