So did i mess up my settings and change something by mistake? When i view threads the poster's name and picture are on the right side now instead of the left like they used to be.

Is there a way to individualize that and change it back or is that just the way this board is set now?

No big deal either way it is just driving me crazy

go to user control panel

board preferences on the left

select RM as your board preference, that will put it back on the left and change the general appearance

Thank you very much!
