Good:
The look.
The option to go to newest post, last post you viewed or the page.
The quick navigation being back.
The similar threads.

Bad:
Lost posts and threads. Don't know which ones and of what value they were. A lot of my early ones were ones I still refer people to.
Rep power will make some look like MVPs rather than the post whores.

I'm still looking though.

Pros
The style
The new navigation
More stable

Cons
The shaded black headers for the sections, I think a little more color would..well put some color on the site.
(Maybe mixing some of the old darkblue from the old site into that black to light it up a little)


Guess thats all for now, Might add something more. But a really good job so far :)

Pros:
-the new look, looks like Windows 7 compared to XP
-it's faster
-the "similar" threads option
-the option to "edit" posts and maybe titles as well, even after a much longer period of time, you can edit posts that are 1 month old +
-new features like the new video embedding..etc


Cons:
-miss the old smileys
-the black background (can't wait for the white one that Pain posted yesterday, http://www.vbstyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=38)

-the 10 character rule in a post
-the color
-and the color

I might be the only one that prefers the black background. It feels easier on the eyes.

That's because you like everything black.

Have to say the forum looks better on my desktop rather than laptop. Also Mozilla looks better than IE.

-the 10 character rule in a post

Now no one can reply with simple smileys anymore, haha.

I like the new layout except for the fact that now it seems NO pictures load for me when I'm at work. Normally I get blocked by imageshack ones, but I can see ones linked from other sites usually, now I just can't see anything. Nothing has changed on any other forums so I'm not sure what the deal is, but something for me is broken.

my number one love is when it says
"thankyou for deducting reputation from this user."
Everytime i respond to a dilated post now to have this courteous message is a very nice touch.

The things i hate.
-I cant login in the top right corner, when i try to it will just refresh the page. Instead i have to;
Step 1: Click login without typing my info
Step 2:Be redirected to the main login page
Step 3:Type my info and i MUST click "remember me" or else it will just refresh the login page and not actually log me in.Even after clicking "remember me" it never stays saved so i have to click "remember me" it every single time i log in.

-Another thing that is a bit inconvenient is the ammount of time i stay logged in for. Ill leave the MM window and when i comeback i have to log back in most of the time. Before i would stay logged in for a long time so when i returned, i didnt have to log back in.
-The lost smiley's got replaced by red x's
-The old spoiler tags dont work anymore so whatever was hidden is now visible
-I cant see who rep's or neg's me.... or can i? its not the same as it used to be.
-Still no Chat Box

My favorite things are;
-The Look: although the right side of all the posts looks a bit incomplete.
-On the fly posting, editing, quoting: I dont have to load a new page just to post, edit, or quote, its all done on the same page and it super convenient.
-More diverse video embedding: you can now embedd videos from multiple websites easier.
-Recent polls at the top of the page

Things are still being worked on.

The log in issue is the main focus point right now.

From now on you need to be more intelligent and instead of a simple lol you should write, ''Well that most certainly made laugh.''
