New format, dislike.....

So far ..."Meh?"
an Arial or Caibri font would be better visually IMO

timrhu - My guess is that the old forum was very hard, if not impossible, to update. The new platform will be much easier to change and improve over time. That is a big plus.

As to improvements, the search has been improved, the "following" feature is nice. You can now choose what you want you see in Popular Discussions. The thread list is sorted immediately after a new post, whereas in the past it took time for the sort order to be updated.

This is a long needed update.

akg_ca, those two fonts are exactly what I recommended during beta testing.  Interestingly, as I type this response, it appears to be in Arial but I suspect when I hit preview or post it will switch to Georgia.
I also recommended going bold by putting the most recent posts first so we don't have to scroll down thorough a bunch of text to get to the latest post.  I agree with tbg about the "classic format" at Audio Asylum working well, not that this has to be the same, and I also agree with kr4 about not really liking the soft-colored low-contrast muted pastel look.
The addition of  Avatars is interesting.  
Gonna take some getting used to.

Was hoping for an updated Bo1972 as well, but that didn't happen.

When I post an entry to a thread, it does not follow in chronological order. It seems to be placed randomly into the thread.
