Don't know if the above is any use.

I will be honest and say that one reason I prefer other similar web sites to physicsforums is the looks of it. I think physicsforums has the best people to discuss with but the previous appearance of the forum was really ugly.
The new design looks better but it could become even better. I think the glossy look should be removed totally. It feels really annoying when fonts are being sliced in the middle like thatfrom the glossy line.
I think sciforums has the best layout.. minimal and nice colors that fit smoothly with each other. I would take that as a guideline :)
The blue background with the dots looks spacey and cool. Maybe add some brighter lines and dots(cyan)? Or even a space image montaged properly could make it even better.
Just my young thoughts..

I like! Next on the list: enable SSL :-)
Guessing by the PTR record in DNS, physicsforums.com is already on a dedicated IP address... Just get one of the free SSL certs out there installed, and no longer will everyones' login credentials be passed "in the clear". A company called StartSSL provides free certs, if you need pointed in the right direction. :-)

Aaahhh, you're running nginx as a cPanel plugin... I see it now. I didn't get the distinction between "nginx admin" and regular old "nginx". Too bad :-(

Belay my complaint about login page on ie9
either you've fixed it
or I was having another senior moment...
found I can type right over what looked like "Username" button instead of adjacent to it
so I was typing username into password block...
Grumpy Old Man at the keyboard...
sorry...

Wow... the image gallery already has 1000s of images.
I'm wondering about server data/bandwidth impact? (might not be as much of a problem now as it was a few years back)
Other forums I've frequented encouraged the use of 3rd party image hosts (Picasa, etc.), just linking to images like so:

Matt the gallery is generated from past images too. Not from when it was released :)

I don't post here often anymore due to lack of time, but I have two things to say about the new look. First, it definitely looks better, so a job well done on the aesthetics part. However, the older design seemed to me much more readable with less stuff packed right in the middle of the screen (the design feels a bit squeezed now) and more actual post content on a single page (here I don't mean the actual topic page, but how much you seen on your screen at any given instant).

It would be nice to have a clock showing the server time, in some corner of the page. It would help people in time zones, different from the server's. Just saying.
You mean they don't already have MathJAX??!

Bad Design!
Poor design. Looks like those adware websites.
Earlier look was classy.
