i agree some stuff is hard to read / find. example is the new posts priv messages line. most of the links are standard though so once you find them, you should be able to repeat easily.
my beef is mainly with the load times. The new design is pretty. Its one of the nicer forums I've seen. However, I can't click-click-click anymore. its more click-wait-click-wait-etc. I think new skins may fix this though.
