I posted this in another thread but I think the site people are more likely to read it here so I will re post.
"ok first of all the only thing I didn't like about 2.0 was the fact that at the time I had a 4:3 monitor and I had to scroll to the left all the time in the forums.
The new design on the other hand has lots of problems that I have noticed after just a few minutes using it.
1st it suffers from the same thing I hate about the google and youtube changes, white with light grey soft borders, stuff blends together and it's hard to see the difference between quotes and the replies. Combined with the floaty design it makes the site a pain to read.
2nd in long threads like this one the fact that the link to go to the next page of the thread is only at the top of the page makes it a pain to read. Seriously PUT A LINK AT THE BOTTOM when the page first loads you don't want to go to the next page of posts strait away, you do when you reach the bottom so it makes sense to put the link at the bottom or both.
3rd the lack of a quick reply box is annoying bring it back please.
4th light green on white is a no no ether make the green darker or change it.
5th an dark design option for the people that prefer it would be nice.
fix those issues and bring back the ability to refresh the list of recent threads without refreshing the page and bring back the list of threads that you have posted in and an indication that you have been quoted in one back on the side when in the forums and I think I will like the site again."
ok second edit the forum seems buggy cut off most of my post and when I edited it doubled up my sig

This, specially the 4th point, as depending on screen settings it could become a real pain to read, and except for the 2nd one, since reaching the "Home" button ain't that much of a pain.
Also, some aspects just became less streamlined. Like the forum. Before, you could see all the recently posted threads on the entires forum and then, at a single click, without going to another page, see only those of a given sub-section and then another one and then go back, etc. It was really easy and fast and now you have to actually open each sub-section individually which takes much more effort and time. Another point is how you can't middle-mouse-button/ctrl-click some things, like the "go to gamrXXX" buttons.
Other than that, the Chartz section looks kind of "dead". I couldn't find the graph thing either but that may be my mistake.
Oh, and there's this hideous bug that deletes your reply when you try to select a part of it with the mouse.
Anyway, I appreciate the hard work involved here, don't want to sound like all I have are complaints.
