In user CP, under options you can choose avatar layout left or top

I always had left, it seemed "normal"

but for some reason, lately when it is left, it is still in top form... I have gotten used to it, but i don't like it.... any reason why it no longer changes the layout?

The left position was a mod to the old version of the forum software, it isn't available in the new upgrade yet.

oh, ok....
