There is much less real "content" on a given page now since so much space is taken up by the design elements, the big font sizes on the index pages, the extra "icon" type images, etc.

I don't mind added features but why the new look? It's hideous, and I just can't grasp the need to change something that works...the damn type font is so small I can barely see it. Real bummer.

It can be condensed to a single word: yuck!

We are currently redoing our current company website and this is a good warning sign.
Maybe we have to slow down with some of our upcoming "upgrades" and new "features"

Too much white space and without the bold text, I have a hard time finding the start and end content. Can I have the old view back?

Avatars and pictures are smaller. Prefer the old set-up.

I'm not so sure about the new format either, but I bet that a month from now we will all be used to it, and many of the complaints will disappear.

Wow, that was my first post on the new forum. You guys weren't kidding about the "Quick Reply" being not so quick!

Or perhaps the PHP code is just a big mess

There's a Quick Style Chooser at the bottom. If they care at all about the visitors, they'll create an old school style we can choose to apply. Currently there is no choice, so that feature is wasted.
Way too much "design" here in the default style, makes the content slower to take in.
I CAN'T SCAN CONTENT EASILY.

We're still getting things settled in. Give it a little time, all. Also, clear the old cookies. vB4 uses a diferent cookie architecture, apparently.
