You guys would be more credible (and maybe get something you want) if you could be more descriptive about what you don't like. In my mind, the "format" hasn't really changed at all. The colors are a little different, and the "new post" thingy went from the left to the right, and the font is different, and now "quote" is a function in the reply screen rather than a separate button, but all-in-all, the basic layout is the same.

If it's the color you don't like, then yes, I'd say you're whining. If you have a specific suggestion, make it! You might be surprised.

For example, I complained mightily about the "new post" graphic disappearing. It took a little while, but finally someone explained that it moved to the right side. End of story, another happy customer.
