Loving the new look, but I think the forums look a little...chunky. Perhaps it's just me and I'm used to it being so close together. Other than that I am LOVING the forums! Congratz on v3 GBATemp!
 
I might be a bit aspergers but, I don't like it.

The Good:
  • Looks a lot sleeker
  • A lot of improvements in certain areas.
Now the Bad:
  • Everything is so spaced out it is hard to quickly scan forums and it does not seem to flow as well as it used to.
  • I used to be able to click on someone's profile name in the forums and it would give you a short summary of their profile, now it takes you to their profile page.
  • I used to click on a name in the forums and I could choose posts or topics. This would then show me an entire list of topics or posts for that profile including my own. Viewing posts or topics from the profile page only shows about the last 5 or 6. I can not find a way to show the entire list.
  • All of the youtube posts that had the old format with a partial link are now not showing. It now requires the full link. This has wrecked the viewability of a few of the long running video posts.
  • If you are in the middle of replying to a topic and you navigate away for a second when you navigate back all of the text you just typed in disappears and you have to start again. A minor annoyance but I have done it once already.

  • Hoover over the user name and you get a short summary pop out, click find content to... find content

Cool, thanks, that helps.
The "view new content" pages will take some getting used to. Too spaced out for me.
 
It looks very classy. Might take some getting used to though.
Also, regarding the shortcut buttons at the top, when did the 360/PS3 sections become more popular than the Wii section?
 
Text doesn't stay when moving a way from pages. Moving away or back too pages are slow. Choosing smiles are slow.

Just listen some things that may be issues. :unsure:
 
Minor thing, but maybe "Photo" isn't the best word for avatars. Obviously, mine isn't a photo, and frankly people don't think of avatars when they see the word. If possible, I would recommend changing it to "avatar" or "profile picture".

On a side note, I'm disappointed that I can't litter my "about me" with CSS. Not surprised, just a bit disappointed. I was hoping to throw in something as visually unfitting as my wiki page.
 
I think there is an easy way to fix this. We need a way to hide the side bar on certain pages. This would make the new site infinitely more useable. An example is below from the igoogle. It took Google about 2years of complaints and Greasemonkey script hacks to finally decide to put the hide side bar button in themselves. When you are on a small laptop screen it helps a lot.

I have pasted an example below where it would really help on the temp.

I'll be honest. I hate the v3 theme and I always have, which is why I use the lite theme. Averse to the colour, I guess. Any chance we could get other themes on the new board?
