I have updated the forum to SMF 2.0, which has finally been released this weekend.
I think I need a few days to get used to the new default design, yes. If you’re “old school” (how did I know that it would be you starting this thread, Cad?), you can switch to the old theme in your profile settings. On the “Design and Layout” page, right at the top, there is the option to change the theme. The old one is called “core” and should look pretty much like the old forum. Some fonts seem to have changed though.
If you mean in Profile Settings, then yes: the page exists; but no: there is no option to change theme! Maybe you see that option because you are the administrator, but us users do not?
