Another change I am not a fan of is it doesn't show the total number of posts and date the poster became a member. Can't spot the trolls......other know if a poster is a long time member that contributes alot of content or not.
Not a fan...hate it! Why is the new format better again?
Yes. Flashes up with lots of detail.Does it show you the post count if you tap on their avatar?

Fair number of posts in this thread, but a critical one is the one from Shorty where he tells us that the software was end-of-lifed a while ago, and briefly states what he's doing to keep this forum up and running.
I'm in sort of the same business, and upgrades are a necessary evil. As a service provider upgrades are a pain in the ass to do, they annoy the customer, and they bring in a whole new set of problems. You're trading known issues for unknown issues. Software running on the internet has a short shelf life, it's vulnerable to attack, and Derek and his admins first responsibility to us as users is to provide a database that's up and running.
If it crashes regularly, it doesn't matter what size or color the font is.
My first response to the new format is much the same as every else - ewww. Change? Change is bad. But, NES down is unacceptable. So deal with it. And the upside is that other forums that are using this format won't look so intimidating and foreign.
Derek, Shorty and who-ever else is working on this will continue to address issues if the issues are stated as "this doesn't work", or "it would be nice if this could be made to work like this". Statements like "this sucks, I don't like it" don't define a goal to be achieved.
We're in UAT of our release. I've got my own customers who aren't happy...

It's now like faceplant.Just testing out a reply. What are "likes"? The same as old rep points?
It does for me, but like so many things (pages of posts when looking at threads, feedback - now at zero) it's hidden until you go looking for it. Before, information was just there. Now you're clicking on things left and right, and hovering your mouse over literally nothing in the off chance that something magically appears to tell you what was instantly apparent before.
It does if you click on their avatar yes. It was just easier before because at a quick glance you knew how long they have been on the forum and how many posts they contribute.Does it show you the post count if you tap on their avatar?

I noticed this too........This is a serious problem!!!!!!Critical issue! Post upgrade, Whackos animated gif avatar, is no longer animated.
This is a huge issue and needs to be addresses ASAP.
