Second website change I've seen
So I have been on this website since December 2007. I even remember the x server problem I was having with Mandriva 2007 that brought me here. My point being, I've been here long enough to see 2 major GUI changes to the website. And while 3 Gregorian Calender years may not seem like that long, in internet years, it definitely is! I am well on my way to becoming an LFO lifer!

The second change I've seen too. I think I'll like this one when the menu down the left is working.

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

I'm willing to keep an open mind, but so far I don't like it, and it has a few bugs.

Very true!I think I'll like this one when the menu down the left is working.
I like the new layout, looks fresh and up to par, but like you said....
Anyway, I don't like having to click TWICE now to get to my subscriptions that have new replies

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, and don't break it if you can't fix it.

It's different but I'm willing to learn a new trick or two. In four or five years we'll want to return to this after the next upgrade.

@MikeTbob
I think the new web interface is quite nice, and a major improvement over the previous design.
But I hate it. Would it kill you to use an open-source forum engine? Are you trying to outsource technical problems by paying for a proprietary service with real tech support? Is Drupal or phpBB really so time-consuming to maintain that you needed to use vBulletin? Does this mean there will be twice as many ads?

I use chromium with ad blocker plus, on ubuntu, and honestly, I haven't seen ONE ad on here since I've joined the thread
I seriously search up-and-down every time someone mentions an ad (even the window$ ads thread had me scratching my chin), so I have no problem with "ADs". I would suggest getting ABP (ad block plus) if you use chromium, or something similar if you're using firefox. Just throwing that out there ramin or anyone that has that problem. For the rest of what he said, I don't even know what all that jazz means, 
so guess I'm good there too, but then again I'm not that advanced in forums apparently 
For the most part, I like the setup bob! Just obviously some bugs need worked out, especially the left side as elija mentioned. I haven't got that to work yet! So only bugs are to be reported in feedback? Or suggestions too??SunshineFolk

Your post was my first ever "like" on this forum site. I haven't seen a single one, either.
