One thing that seems to be missing is the option that used to be on the upper right corner to see posts that are new since my last visit. Where has that gone? I found it singularly useful. Can we have it back please?

This is going to take some getting used to. Seems like the classic supermarket-switcharoo!

...and it is not even done yet. More to follow during the night.

I am making notes of what you are saying.

That option is now located in the top left hand corner on the index page.

A bit of feedback to consider:

I *really* miss the 'View Active Topics' link that used to be somewhere at the top-left on most/every page (perhaps after the 'View your posts' link). I used this as the primary way to navigate the site and, IIRC, I wasn't alone.

In the new colour-scheme I find it much harder to scan the thread titles in views such as Active Topics. The thread titles used to really stand out, whereas now they contrast less with the background colour, and are get lost amidst the more-saturated 'author' colour.

Did the links to page 2,3 etc of a thread get smaller? They seem really small on a desktop screen.

I agree with Rox's comments, also could the user info be moved back to the left hand side rather than it being now on the right?

To my eyes the pages seem "too busy", if that makes sense.....like there's too much going on.
