For the questions:
There is no need for title. The original purpose for the title in vB was to display staff status. Since we use the staff icons to do this, there is no need for the title field. There is plenty of room in your signature and avatar for personalization.
Does this mean that the sig size has been increased? If so, to what size?

vB3 is threaded board software. All replies are made to specific posts. The reply button does quote, but there is no reply to thread button as it exists now, you reply to a post. You can choose a thread view that lists all the posts as what is replying to what. This is also why each post has a quick reply button, and what the link next to the post title is about (click the link to see the post that was replied to). The post padders should like this as it gives them an excuse to double post if they have something to say to two different posts. Chruser wanted to try this, so we will be using threaded mode on a trial basis; if we decide we don't like it, we will convert the board back to linear mode, and reply will change back to quote, etc.
We can still use the "quote" tags though, right?

Online is whether the user is online, recent is whether or not you have read the thread since the post was posted.
I don't really understand what the point is of knowing whether or not you've read a particular thread since the last post or not is anyway...? I'd like to think that most people use the "View New Posts" button anyway, hence eliminating the problem of whether or not you are up-to-date with the thread in question. Is there a way to make it so that you can individually mark a post as read? Meaning, if I am going through 4 pages of unread posts, and reply at the end, I'd rather not have to fish through all those other posts again if someone replies to my post before I get to "Mark All Threads as Read".
