I prefer the vertical mode. That big chunk of free space in the horizontal bar is just pointless. You can't fit the signature in there well and you can't take up the whole space with a Who-I-Am picture. I would suggest reverting back to vertical mode. For the average user with a 1024x768 screen, horizontal space saving just isn't noticeable with such a low res and average-length posts. Of course, I use a 1280x1024 at home and I don't mind too much for the moment. Top priority should be getting the old forum style back
