It would appear to some that if you complain about the forums software you are complaining about the board in general. This software is a mishmash of really lame software. Just go to any discussion board with professional designed software and you can see how much easier it is to navigate around the board.

And on and on. Now if you want to flame me so be it but there is so much so wrong with this board "software" and so much professional software for free or very little cost. As far as Simon coming out with new software, sorry I don't believe it will be anytime soon...
