Overall, I think the old version is visually more user friendly. The thinner, more angular font and increased white space are kind of user-unfriendly. Also, it was nice to have your username visible at the top. This version actually loads slower for me than the old one, and it takes way longer to read a thread because there are fewer posts visible at one time. Moreover, the inability to delete the [quote/] out of a quoted post makes forum game participation more cumbersome.
