Sorry I've not had time to read everything but these are the three things that I immediately hated within thirty seconds of looking at the new forum:

2. Threads with new updates since I logged in not being in bold - everything looks the same

What's wrong with the 'New' badge?

The "new" badge stays there all the time if you don't open the thread. So there's gazillions of "new" threads that are actually old threads that you just haven't opened. So you can't tell at a glance what is truly new since you logged out.

I’m getting hundreds of emails every time a new post is made on a thread I follow. I didn’t have email notifications turned on previously, and I can’t see where to turn them off now. 

Click on notifications,  the bell icon at the top of the page to get into the tick boxes.  There’s a column for emails and a column for pop ups, so just untick any you don’t want.

On the Giving Up / Cutting Down Alcohol Forum Thread in Debt Free Diaries, please enable emojis to be displayed horizontally along one line, as opposed to currently where they're appearing line after line.

What are the 'points' stated on the profile screen when you click on someone's username? I have 68 of them, whatever they are.

Bookmarks appear to be opening behind the box above it, meaning the links are not visible or accessible (iOS 13.3.1)

Using a PC, there doesn't seem to be an "undo" arrow if you paste something, and there's no "advanced" version of the posting window. It seems you have to switch to HTML to use part of an earlier post, (then switch back to see the effect) which I can cope with, but may put some off.

We all appear to be called Forumite despite me receiving an email to say I'm now a Deliciously Dedicated Diehard MoneySaving Devotee. What's the point if only I know my new rank?

Oooh, we now have (smirk)

That's why usability testing with a subset of real users (and even a subset of data) is usually done. 

Supposably that is what happened. I volunteered to be in that subset of real users (which were using a datacut of the forum transferred to the new layout) but I had to withdraw due to a clash of commitments.
