    Pros to new system:
    Badges and points, I find a little bit of joy in all the different badges and trying to gain points
    @mentions, @Brigby's favourite
    Profile Pictures, wish you could change them on your phone though
    Notifications, this is AWESOME

    cons to new system
    Lots of wasted space and unnecessary stuff; Featured posts, giant banners etc
    no more red names, they made it easy to see the important stuff. its more difficult to figure out whos important now
    No more "other details" at the bottom of the page, I liked that stuff
    No way to change to old UI like there used to be
    random double posts cropping up here and there
    can't delete posts.
    lost old polls
    giant font for quotes
    no HTTPS
    I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now.

    No 'who's viewing the forum' at the bottom of the page.

    thats on the side, but I do prefer the old way. I can get used to the new way though

    On the side? Help me out. I haven't found that yet. Mobile or desktop?

    Thanks @THEMAGICkMAN
    Haven't looked in discussions on desktop. Normally use mobile so it's be nice to have that back on mobile side.

    I just realized that any up votes made on the old forum did not carry over to the new one.

    Nope, I feel really sorry for those guys with 3000+ upvotes/reputation. @Brigby is there any way for them to get something on the new forums for their contribution on the old ones?

    @Brigby
    I second this.
    A lot of "hot topic" threads are now just not.
    Any way to get those old votes back?

    Yeah. Like that one about drop rates that had, what, 100 likes?

    Hmm? Where did my signature go?

    We definitely wanted to retain everyone's Reputation points, but unfortunately they just weren't compatible with the current forum's system of "Reputation" or Reaction points. :(

    @Summer Glau My #1 favourite thing about the new forums as well.

    Is it me or did there used to be a LOL option when the forum came out. I swear there were more reactions and all I see now are Insightful and Like.

    That was a much needed option :D

    Yep! Off-topic and lol are both missing... maybe we used them too much?

    Basically anything I'm having fun with they're getting rid of... I imagine they'll discover the thread tags soon :)
