Can we atleast get back the orginal design ..i mean, top banner logo etc?
No. As I've explained many, many, many times now, I (in no particular order)
1) Don't have the original graphics to work with, and, no, you can't just "put what was up there back" because each menu choice is now different
2) This is a different package. It works differently and is therefore not as easy to make look as horrible as I consider that 8 year old design. There is a reason that people rip out old wall paper ya know..
3) I personally got sick of looking at the old design and wanted something newer and fresher. Granted, the header needs work, but if you'll check, you'll see it's on the to do list.

PPS: i didnt like the last big change on amiga.org either but after a while the site was frequently updating to look better and more functionality/useage so i know you guys can do it for third time in a row
Yep. Last time, Amiga.org was the first and only Amiga site to use Xoops. You guys HATED it (I wish I still had the messages from back then). After you guys got used to it, EVERY successor site (AW, then Amigans, then whoever was in between that) ran out and got their own free Xoops package and you guys (and the online community) fell into complacency.
Now 8 years later (10 since we started using Xoops), it's time for the next dramatic "what's next" moment and sure enough, give it six months and give us time to get the news/images/links back online, and you won't even remember "what was"..
You don't remember the yellow Amiga.org days do you???
See??
EDIT: i just noticed that all that:

stuff ain't showing in OWB although it is in Ibrowse, is that possible to fix for IB aswell?
Unfortunately that's an OWB and/or IB issue. I'm sure if you asked the author, he could probably fix it on that end much easier than I could break the code to work with the broken browser.
