The first time I saw PHPbb3 I thought the same thing. It does make more sense to have the actual content on the left side though. Speed Talk has had no upgrades in 7 years. Give it a chance, I think you'll grow to like it.

A visit here is helpful before making webpage changes:
http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/

Note the section on color contrast. There's good info in there.

Also consider that all other message boards have the poster's info on the left side, like ST used to and everyone has spent the last umpteen years seeing. That alone should be a major factor when weighing whether the area should be on the left or right. There better be some life or death reason to place it somewhere else.

I just noticed that the post's author is also posted on the left side -- it's right below the post title. So, you don't need to look right to know who wrote the post.

Look above:

It just makes way more sense to have the real content on the left.
