It was really weird logging (like, actually having to log in and reset my password) in this morning and seeing how different the site looks; it'll definitely take a few days to get my muscle memory back.

It's not the first time for me to use XF as I have been on other forum that use it, but I have never been that active. It's different here. I like the new update and in general I like when there are changes like these. I am adjusting to it already.

The new forums are weirding me out. A lot of stuff got swapped around. Like the thread starter used to be on the right and latest post on the left.I've also hit report multiple times because it's where the Like button used to be rofl
The flip to the other side of the screen is not necessarily bad, but I'm not seeing a 'go to first unread post' button before I enter a thread anymore =\
There is a 'Jump to New' button when I go into a thread, on it's first page, but like...
1) that takes me back to posts in late October, after which I've still posted in those threads, so it's definitely not the first unread/new post lol
2) Entering threads on the first page just to hit Jump to New is clunky in the first place.
Clunky is what the new forum feels like to me in general tbh.
Also I was updating my Dungeon Escape game earlier and it generated a whole bunch of extra bb code for some reason which effed up the layout badly... had to manually remove and then copy paste the original code back in. =\
Which then seemed to work despite being the exact same code I originally put in lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though my edit was with the 'Toggle BB Code' button enabled... which might be why it didn't create such a mess of unnecessary code again. or not, idk. I'm not a coder =P
I'm also forced to refresh every forum section and every thread I enter manually or it won't show 'new' posts (and by new I mean any posts made since I last logged in on Friday). This seems to be a one time thing though so far, probably a result of the migration.

There are aspects of the new site I like and some I don't. I'll get used to it either way, but most of the changes I'm pushing the hardest to see are things that bring back legacy features and (please god) the different colors. (roll names, tags, etc) Another thing I'd really love to see sooner rather than later is that neat bar that separated pinned threads from non-pinned ones. That I think would make finding the most recent posts much nicer with the new style.

Having a divider between stickied threads and others is definitely something I'd like to see back, as well. In general, the forums still look a little generic right now. Which is to be expected, given that we're still at the very beginning.

Well clicking the thread title now seems to take me to the first unread post. Previously it just took me to the first page. Edit: okay weird... it now takes me back to the first page again... I guess it only works when there's a new post in the thread?
Not being able to enter a thread at the first unread post directly from the thread list was honestly my main gripe as it was a QoL feature I used continously every day to navigate around on the old forum.
The other stuff I'll get used to =P
Also I'm seeing a divider between sticky and normal threads now. That was definitly not there this morning though =P

I'm loving the new changes so far, even just the divider is a massive boost to the site's QoL for me!

The 'Similar threads' thing at the bottom is weirding me out. After I click post, it often goes up and out of view and I end up staring at the Similar threads list, which looks so similar to a sub-forum's thread list that I've several times thought I left the thread already.

One thing which bumms me out occasionally that a post just won't get posted and instead there's this really long waiting phase with the loading animation. And when that's done I have to click on "post reply" again for it to work. :(

It's the first snow of the year for me! :D (not at all a fan of the 'seasonal holiday', but I love snow)
I'm not a fan of it either, I mostly just find it destracting.

My area doesn't really get snow as winter is the dry season over here, but I did have the enjoyment of going out in ~35F weather at 7AM with a scraper to get the frost off my windshield.
