Personally I find the complete opposite. This layout is cleaner just my opinion of course.

I think it's more down to the habits and what you expect to see. For example, when the initial switch to phpBB happened I got confused, couldn't recognize the forum at first.

?ark imho the only better thing at this layout is that it is very fast.

Yes, it's really very fast. On the other hand I miss the option to display active topics in the section and the option to display video in the post. The like button was good to save many useless posts such as +1 or agree as was already pointed out.

Also the ability to include large images was good. Mark is there scope to bring some of these features back or is it inherent limitations of phpBB?

+1 i tried to post plenty of fantastic photos,but couldnt at this layout.Images too big. :(

That was something I chose. If you want bigger then suggest a sensible maximum keeping in mind the style we have is a fixed width.

This car and this livery!

Some other forums use automatic image resize to a certain width that the admin chooses to be the best for the layout. For the forum here seems to not be wide enough to accommodate decently sized images (approx 1200px +).
By doing a quick search I came up with something like this:
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ ... e_resizer/

Will it possible to implement something along these lines?

I'm not able to look at it at this exact moment but I'll look at the mod later in the week. Cheers.

I really agree with this. I could see restricting the size if the images were being hosted by the forum, but otherwise a display size with a 'view full size' option would be great.
