I don't see why some want to change it. It's perfect because of how hideous it is.

Why is the score bar so low now? It looks horrible.
Is it possible to remove the title itself from the title bar and replace it with the rating system (for all replies, of course - the original post wouldn't have this done to it... or maybe? The title is elsewhere as well). The only negative side I see would be with merged threads, but that's not much of a negativity.
Or just post them to the right of the title?
Removing the title isn't an option because titles can and do change in threads.
Putting it to the right of the title creates the same problem it had in reverse, the title is in a consistent place but the icons aren't.
It was put there in the first place because the post icon appears there anyway.
Indeed. Having a title at the beginning, having it change, then having preceding posts having a completely different title is kind of confusing for people not paying attention. They might think they're posting in one thread, then realize the title of the post over them has a different title and freak out. I've never had that issue myself, but I'm speaking hypothetically.
Plus, it's kind of redundant and dumb to have a thread title above every post - especially when the original title changes and the preceding posts don't reflect that change.
My solution (if possible)
Because I care more about the number of up/down votes for a post than I do about reading the title of the thread over and over. If you're not going to remove it, putting it as far from my line of sight as possible is definitely the best solution.
I love the new position. Very good work!
I thought it'd look decent the other way around (like it is now) but I liked the other way around better (score on left, title on right) because now the score isn't visible at all in my first line of sight. Like Eos said, you read from left to right and if the problem was the title being redundant and it wouldn't be read if it's on the right side then having the score counter on the right also causes that problem. People would have to go "out of their way" (I use the term loosely) to see the score which I'm not if that's what you wanted.
Just my 2 cents.
Edit: Just found out there's a thread about this. Neato.
