If fancy means "not any better, functionally", you are absolutely correct.

I think I like it. There is probably no going back and in a week I doubt I will even think about.
Edit: I do like that I can see my post count. The last time checked it I was at 2000.

In addition to # posts, maybe they should add hours spent...no, wait - bad idea.

I'm with you on that one. I always go right to the last page of "Saved from the Dump" to see what sweet deals have been recorded, and I can't do it in a single click anymore. I'm sure I'll get used to it....but I would prefer that I didn't have to.

So it does. Thanks for the tip. That is certainly not intuitive. Another non-intuitive feature that I just discovered that when in a multi-page thread if you click the "Last>>" button it doesn't go to the last page of the thread, but instead back to the Bike Forums Home Page.

Is it just me or is any one else having issues focusing on the different fonts? And is everything smaller?
Nope not a fan. I would rather have the option to select my own skin for this....

Threads drop off the front page faster because of the new formatting. Not a big fan of the graphics either, it slows scrolling (maybe I need a video card upgrade). Site also seems to be processing slower, but maybe tweaks are still being made?

Uh, multiquote is kinda cool, though.

P.S.: My monitor refresh rate doesn't like it either. Bogs when scrolling.

What's with the stupid little thing in the botttom right hand corner? "Now using the NEW vBulletin 4". BFD - get rid of that stupid icon - it's in the way and annoying.
Oh yeah - spell-check doesn't seem to work, either.
