I've not got time to trawl through the other feedback, but one issue I had yesterday when the trial version was up which was possibly more serious than an "I don't like it" reaction is the difficulty I had in actually logging in. I tried several times - it told me my password or username was wrong. I re-typed - checking every single keystroke - and I KNOW what I typed was right, yet it told me again that username/password were wrong. By this stage I was getting a bit edgy that my account had been compromised, so went down the "change password" route...waited half an hour to be sure that previous attempts had cleared, then tried again with the new password your system sent...and got exactly the same message again. Eventually after a LOT of attempts, waiting 15 minutes and then further attempts, I got in, but I then had the same problem again when I tried to log in from home last night.

The design itself, I have to say I didn't like it - too much white, too many open areas, and quite difficult to read/follow threads/pick out quotes. The colours were nice but didn't seem to work in the context of the forum.

If I had to give a "snapshot" verdict, I'd say that the current design is reassuring, and solid looking, and the new one came across as rather stark, unwelcoming and almost clinical.
