I can't tell if something is broken or if the new forums are just that ugly.  Can we get some screen caps of what it's supposed to look like?

Is there a way to revert the look to the old forum? This is pretty bad as far as forum UI's go.

IDK if it's an oversight, or your not planning to do it. But the folding points total isn't shown under the user info anymore.
 
It also doesn't show user birthdays at the bottom of the main forum page.

Yeah that whole ribbons, join date etc. looks....well bad. I mean, *shrugs* I am not one for looks, as long as it functions. So far that is all it does.
 
Smiles, all the little things still have white pixelation around the edges though...that bugs me :P

Man is capable of as much atrocities as he has imagination.  
People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.

Some of the emoticons look like they are still sporting white around the edge and others don't.
The one in Chrome's Sig (post #11) looks fine but the ones in some of the other posts have the border.

Way to much wasted space in each post for those with signatures if it is a short post. Can we move the signature to meet up with the post?

Instead of focusing on how it looks, check all the new toys... 
 
Try it on mobile while you're at it.
 
How it looks can be adjusted. I would personally like the background (which is now defaulting to #333) to full black. That would help I think.
 
Using essentials mode, for me, is great... don't have to see all your silly graphics. Without it though, the side bar needs some serious help... 
 
Performance wise I think things are great - just keep updating and tweaking the look/feel and please make some minimal dark themes... we geeks like this.
 
P.S. - could you make the chassis forum hide-able please?
