I found that ... only it appears over on the RHS of the screen above the advertisements. When I select it, I am taken to a different screen ... as opposed to just switching from the Recent Activity tab (or Monitored Discussions, or Unanswered Discussions) to the My Discussions Tab without the need for a complete screen load. It appears that My Discussions was the only tab to have been pulled.
I'll get use to it, but the old tab was more convenient.

On another note ... where are the "eyecons" on this new interface to alert me to new messages, colleague requests, etc? I had some on the old interface, but when I hit that big red banner to drive the new car, they went away :(

Josh:
I found the "eyecons" ... the top menu bar is fixed length and does not scale with the browser window (at least on Chrome & Safari). Even if one uses the horizontal scroll bar on the browser, the menu bar does not scroll.
This forces me to override the text/font sizes of the site to shrink things or to run the browser either full screen or obnoxiously large.
On another note, I'm posting this as a new message as I have yet to find the "edit" function to allow me to edit/update an existing post.

Well Joe, it's not quite that blanket or simple ...
I also have firefox - on four different platforms - amongst my selection of browsers and am seeing similar behaviours with it as I am experiencing with Safari and Chrome.
In general things are usable - with a small amount of retraining - but I'm sure there will be some tweaking in the coming weeks.
If both the website and the browsers used conform to the W3C specifications and pass the test suites, then there should be little to no issue with a browser "working" with BP.
[Note to Josh: Found the edit feature this time :-)]

With the stats on the dashboard, you sure are going to motivate those among us who are competitive, to post even more to get the numbers up. :-) No resting on your laurels when it changes every day.

Having some challenges with the new site. Perhaps you can help:
Where can I find the equivalent of what used to be called "my discussions", where I can see what discussions I've recently been participating in and the activity in them?
I'm having trouble reading the blue and gray text on my screen. I've tried dimming the brightness to get more contrast but no luck.

Thanks!
OK. Found "My Discussions" It's just gray text and no shadow box, above the ad column. Is it supposed to be that way?

Thanks guys -- we appreciate the feedback.
@Account Closed - We wanted to encourage activity that was of the highest quality, and we believe the post score does that. It also lets users see how their activity is connected to how busy their profile is, and since this is a site designed to facilitate networking, we wanted to make that connection more obvious.
