Of the three theme options, TC-New is by far the best one. I really dislike the sidebar username info section of Tendo City V2, so that's definitely out. Also, V2 doesn't show the time threads were made on the thread list, for some odd reason. Like, why is it missing? When a post was made is important information! Even if that problem was fixed I'd still never use V2 because of how much I dislike the username bar being a permanent sidebar, but it's always really annoying when I come here not logged in because I can't even see if anything is new datewise. Why is this?
Meanwhile, TC New is mostly just myBB's Default theme, but it is improved over the default -- the blue behind the poster info section is nice. I recommend going into your User CP and changing to TC New theme, that fixes all of the problems that have been mentioned here -- the username problem you mention is also exclusive to the V2 theme and does not happen on New, I can see your username just fine. I had to switch themes to see what you were talking about. Gah, it's so bad, I switched back quickly. I'm sorry etoven I'm sure you put work into V2, I just like old fashioned forum interfaces... and I like knowing when posts were made.
And yeah, I know I just said it, but to be clear the 'your username doesn't appear' bug is TC V2 exclusive. Yet one more reason to not use it. Go into your User Control Panel (in V2 it's hidden in the dropdown list in the upper right instead of just being a button like it is in New), go to Options, go to the bottom, switch theme to TendoCity New, have a better (older-style) experience. Oh, in New all usernames are white. Are they different colors in V2 or something?
