I don't mean to say that I think the forums look bad, they look great - much better than before. I just feel as though some of the scaling is off and some priorities have been muddled (e.g. I don't know why people's browser and computer data is so important it has to be shown on the side in such a way that inherently creates an amount of dead space after posts that is more often than not larger than the actual posts themselves).

The idea is to allow for people to troubleshoot without having to ask what their system might me, makes my and many other's life easier.

Right, okay. But why not just put it on people's actual profile page instead of showing it on the side of posts, where 99% of the time it's unnecessary and just contributes to the problems with the new theme.
Like I said I appreciate the theme and think it's an improvement in most areas, but it seems unfinished. There's grey & black text on grey backgrounds, formatting issues both on mobile and on PC, avatar and post sizes are too elongated, there's too much dead space everywhere.

Not everyone is always going to be posting on the same OS / Browser. Just efficiency. If it bothers you that much I'll give an option to disable or not make it such a large portion of the Profile Card.
Also the black text on grey background thing is gonna get fixed, I'm going to put some padding behind it so it's not so difficult to read.

I'm not a huge fan of the changes, unfortunately. I think everything takes up too much space which is inefficient when just browsing the forums, and also I don't think the site blends together very well. I liked the simplistic look from before and I think it worked fine. Everything just looks annoyingly bigger now. Also, apparently there are mobile issues which should really be fixed. Maybe I'm just complaining because the site looks so weird compared to before and I just have to get used to it. idk.
EDIT: Also, is it just me or are all the user profile pictures really fuzzy looking?

Side effect of the theme, it seems I added some accidental JPG compression to the images.

I agree with this, I liked the layout of the previous skin. As others have mentioned, avatars are stretched out and fuzzy looking and posts seem to take up much more space. I'm not saying this layout is particularly bad, though these changes could use improving. If their is another skin option that's similar to the last one then I'll more than likely change to that.
