Couple more questions.
Are we going back to having to click on additional pages to "see more posts" for the forum pages. No more continuous loading?
I cannot sign in or get any response in Safari, my main browser. I enter the info to log-in and the screen refreshes to the log-in page with no error message. So I switched over to Chrome. Will Safari eventually work with the new site?

Looks awesome guys!!! But one piece of feedback from me. Can we get a slight or shadow like border around the new on landscape photo on the profile page?

@Ronald Cvetkovic - I've found that the @Mentions have been working FAR better on beta. Can you email [email protected] with your browser version and operating system (plus version)?
@Michael Lemieux - I'm seeing the same issue. We'll get it rectified ASAP.

Overall I like the new look and how things are more consistent with the main blog pages.
Still getting used to some things but looks like once we all do it will be a pretty nice improvement overall.
To add to some of the little things people have seen I noticed when I had to login that it asked for my email and not username. Thought maybe you did away with them and just put the email address we signed up with as the username.
That didn't work but then putting in my user name did. Not a big deal but mildly confusing I suppose for people that didn't use their email handle as their username. I so assume that 99% of people will figure it out after one failed login like I did. :)

@Joshua D. , minor issue but the login screen now asks for "email address" rather than "username" so I thought maybe you had changed your processes, but it will NOT let me login with my email address, I still must use my username. So, just a change to the verbage on that login screen would help minimize confusion

@Shaun Reilly - If your email address didn't work, then you must have mis-entered it or made a typo in the password (or perhaps you used the wrong email?).
Logins have for the past several years allowed either the "username (profile link name)" or email address as the login. We just changed the text because people tend to forget their username but not their email. It just helps us cut down on user support issues DRASTICALLY. I'm glad you got in.

Hmmm........
Given that @Brett Russell had the same issue might not be working as intended.
BTW since I am just seeing it the @Mention didn't pull him up as a choice and the "@?" feature doesn't seem to be working either.

Alright, you type faster than me!
But, @Joshua Dorkin, I am actually still seeing a bug. I can login fine whether I'm using email or username if I click the login selection from the dropdown icon in the upper right of the screen. However, for some reason, if I go to the login page (https://beta.biggerpockets.com/account/login) and login, the first time I try, whether I use email or password, it fails. The second time works fine. I tried this repeatedly on Chrome, and definitely checked spelling, and even had 1Password do the fills and I get the same issue repeatedly.
@Brett Russell - Thank you. That helps tremendously. I'll alert the team immediately so we can correct this.
You are welcome... I just spent about 10 minutes confirming I'm seeing the same behavior with Firefox and Safari as well. (That's why your servers just saw 3 dozen login attempts from me!)

@Joshua D. The old view shows that I have a new message in my inbox. The new view doesn't seem to show any alerts for new messages. New site looks great though!
