Any particular reason that the user info is on the right of the post rather than the left? I find it highly off-putting as pretty much every other forum I've been active on has used the conventional user info on the left layout.

This is the default layout of the subsilver (either that or prosilver. My memory is a bit off) style. I personally like it on the right like you but it's easier for them to just leave it default like this. I'm sure if enough people want it the admins will change the profiles to the right. It's not that complicated, just a bit of editing in a couple of CSS files.

I'd like userstuffs on the left, it just looks better.

I think it would be easier on the left because we read English, and English goes from left to right. Although I wouldn't mind if it changes or not, I've gotten used to the right.

phpBB 3 default, thats why.
I actually prefer it, not on the left, but on the top left corner, as so:

I would prefer to get the left side back... but I am getting used to the right one, too.

I used to like it on the left, but I've grown to like it on the right more.

So it's been almost 3 months and I still find this weird. Could we get the option to switch it yet?

Very useful post Gunslinger.

@rakiru, I'll bring up again the next time stack izzy and I talk. Me personally I dont care if it is left or right. But it should be pretty easy to swap it.

I felt that parroting what rakiru said was just as useful as quoting him. I don't really understand why I don't like it on the right, I guess it just makes the site look more jury-rigged, I guess its just the fact that most sites use the left.
