I don't like the fact signatures and posts aren't wrapping for me (Firefox)
I think it's pretty annoying.

I still have Quick Reply....

Anyway, all this griping happens every time they do this...and then people get used to the change.

My only dislike now that the Jrun error is gone is all the yellow bars....seems like a waste of space.

Well, the old forums were better, I hope there will be some improvements very soon.
The new forums look a lot worse, the 30sec timeout could be 10-15sec instead, and I think there are not enough color themes. They look very similiar.

This is like a beta version, IMO.

I'm surprised they didn't beta test it with a few volunteering members - but - being a sys admin myself, I'm sure there was SOME reason they had to do a hard cut over to the new version. It's progressive. There will always be bugs in new systems. Perhaps these bugs weren't apparent when they were testing it, sometimes bugs don't show up in a test environment.

I don't really care. The pop up reply is kind of annoying but I usually use instant reply anyway.

They did.

The people need to stop whining.

I just deleted all of my anandtech cookies, cleaned out the Temp Internet Files, logged out, closed IE, logged back into AnandTech... now time to see if some of the bugs go away...

It's new. As in, not used before.
Just stop pissing and moaning and make reasonable requests of what you want back when they get the main bugs fixed (also, clear cache and cookies, people!).
I want custom colors. Didn't use them before, but these themes suck--black too dark, the rest way the hell too bright.
Bottom navigationg.
AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIBING.
I'd love to see a feature so that we can set when a line-break exists...I don't care if a link is long--the hyper-link works, just chop it up.
etc.
But they will get around to most of them.
