No, and here are few reasons why?

1) Majority of users are right handed and as such your cursor is generally on the right side of the screen making it easier to click on the buttons on the right hand side.

2) Vast majority of applications (non just those on the web) display buttons on the right, by having FUDforum do the same, we give the user something that they have gotten used to.

but if it is that small screen you say is so prevalent, the cursor position certainly has much less relevance. And many of the input stuff is on the left anyway. That way they could stay on the left hand side and just move down instead of having to move down and then move to the right.

And we got used to the poster's info on the right, which is where most forums put it, but you moved it to the top so that's not a particularly valid stance for you to take.

And lest I forget the PDAs,, hand-held, tablets, etc that have those extremely smaller screens - putting the buttons on the left certainly makes perfectly logical senes in there and demands a break with the standard of putting them on the right.

Times changes things.
