For me the page will load, but it wont be formatted correctly. Instead, all the images will align to the left on the page. Once I reload the page everything is fine. Figured it was just my crappy internet.

Not sure if this is just my computer but on the main page it aways say "News For Wednesday, November 25th, 2009"

I didn't even check the date, but you are right. It's the same for me.

Using Opera, btw. Though I doubt it's browser related. Get with the times Mut.

I didn't post in those, I see others have been having the same issues.

Ditto. I don't even remember the last time I made a post in the recent purchases thread.

I'm going to add to the showing up in threads I did not post in crowd.

The main page shows me as to have posted in eight threads, three of which I actually posted in.

EDIT: Had a few driver errors when opening about eight pages at the same time.

Official ATI Catalyst Update Thread by Sleeping Mind (nope, that was Trooper who just posted)

I've gotten driver errors as well.

I'm seeing posts on the front page I just posted in that says my name is "Bad Larry" instead of "( sic )" Bad Larry was my original alias.

Bug fixing day! I'll get to work on these, see if I can figure the latest posts thing out.

Also, when I click on a forum it brings me to the last page instead of the last viewed post like the old forum did.

The bug whereby it says a member has replied to a topic ... and infact they haven't, is an actual bug in the IPB software.

It has been reported and hopefully fixed in the next software update.

Something is up. It keeps showing my name as being the last poster in a random "Latest Forum Posts" thread on the homepage. But I'm not the last person to post in them. Sometimes its a thread I haven't visited in ages. What gives?

Look at the post above the, Sly, and be enlightened.

It seems that I get Driver errors when I open multiple threads in quick succession.

I'm gonna be honest...I voted no here!
I understand why this upgrade took place, and form the looks of it, there were some nice technical changes all over the place, and some fresher ideas here and there, but one of the reasons I loved this site was how easy it was to read. For instance, right now, I'm not a fan of typing this message across the entire span of my browser page. Just so you know, there are optimal line reading lengths for most people, which you can check out here...

Within the forum, there seems to be far less contrast now that the white is gone as well. The greyscale pallet of the past seemed to make all of the avatar's and sig's pop out quite a bit!

And the front page isn't too hot in a few ways... it feels a bit off. For instance, whats that random gradient just to the left of the Latest forum posts area? And the transition from that box to the news is rather awkward. I think keeping them as separate entities makes more sense than trying to make some kind of transition between the two rather unrelated elements.
Also, stick with the consistent font of the site for that Latest Forum Posts sign as well. Jumping between fonts without a really special reason is generally a big no-no!

And loading forum pages is slow as balls for me for some reason. And the whole site layout is completely broken in chrome, even though it loads.

All that said, while I may not be totally pleased with the layout, Sir Mutely, you are the MAN for finally taking action on our once old, decrepit site! I appreciate all your hard work, even if it looks like I'm kinda slamming you up here. Im just hoping that you can use some bits of my advice and criticism to make the site better! And above all else, Im just one person, and the majority seems happy overall.
Keep it up!
PEACE
