its not hard at all mate..........you just need to get familiar with it. The way the topics have been arranged into 'groups' is way cool, I am on a number of other PhP bulletin boards, and they are all going through this 2007 release , so its here to stay.
The need for a 'quick reply' box is not relevant any more, the new board is way quicker at updating posts, so its basically redundant.
Not sure on 'view posts since last visit', but as its now easier to navigate between topics, it shouldn't slow you down too much !!
Give it a few days to get used to the new format, I reckon you will love it.

Look for "View New Posts", it does the same thing as the old "view posts since last visit" did

How hard is the new site? Time will tell, this layout will take some getting used to but at the end of the day it looks good

I remember only a couple of months ago you were still finding *New* things on the forum - change is great, and I love the way the forums look now. They are heaps easier to navigate around, and way quicker as well.
I noticed that a few of the forum whores have had their post-counts lowered, part of the overall clean-up I guess. It used to happen semi-regularly ......
Just spend a bit of time clicking on all the new stuff mate, you will learn it pretty quickly, no worries...

Yeah, this is the 3rd site I frequent, no, 4th, that has "improved" it, by adding more levels and changing where everything is...I wish it would stop...

Familiarity makes change hard ....
The thing I was most worried about, was all the Blue, I come back on tonight and I see GREEN !! Oh Aye, much better
I would like to say thanks for the hard work to get the new look forum running, I work in IT, and know what an arse it is to set up a new format / system from scratch
And I also like the way the groups have been setup according to model range.
All the above IMHO(Newbie Talking)

Will take a bit of getting used to but overall I really like it. My only criticism is a lack of quick reply.

I prefered the previous one as all the posts aren't as clearly seperated, the other one was much easier to read.
