Please bring back the "Switch to Old Forums" button.  

Here's my visual feedback.  As @Mike S. stated I think showing all of the poster stats with the poster description, post count and vote count is very distracting and also confusing.  When I see the User post count & vote count, I keep thinking that is the # of posts on this Forum post.  That information seems unnecessary.

Otherwise, by just making some small visual changes I think the overall forum posts would look a more compact and easier to scroll through.  In the screenshot below the overall height of each forum post has been reduced by 50%. 

Generally speaking, I also think the font-sizes are too big.

Just my .02 cents.

Each post takes up more screen room with a blurb from the post below it.

I liked the old one better.

Not because I was used to it, but it displayed more info on the screen w/o scrolling.

Also, how the post would update showing the last poster to comment, vs the OP being frozen there was a nice look.

I personally preferred that feature.

With the BIG look to each post, when they are listed it seems 7th grade-ish compared to the tight method it was before.

Aimed at kids in middle school.

I like the old way better for those reasons, not because I am used to it.

Good Luck!
 

Quote from @Colleen F.:

It is STILL missing Jump to last POST...     just like last time you upgraded, please this is an essential feature!

well I just tried it again and it appears it takes 3 clicks to get to the last post.

one to open the forums  two to open the thread and three to click on the Oldest newest tab..  and oldest comes up so unless you know there is a newest under neath that tab you maybe stymied a big.. but then you click newest and U get to the last post.   but I agree it would be great just to have a seperate tab for Last post its more intuitive and would save one click.

The biggest item missing is the dropdown forum menus from the main header menu.  Everything else I can get used to, but having to search forums limits my ability to find forum subjects I may be interested in, and the long list of all forums is not easy to navigate.  

I liked to hover over the forums, see the main forum topics (i.e. commercial real estate) and hover over that to get the three sub forums.

Hello everyone,

I am a real estate investor that is looking to grow my assets. I'm still working my day job in Healthcare, but I hope to leverage real estate as my way to financial freedom. I currently own an investment condo in Arlington, VA and 4plex in San Antonio, TX. Thanks for having me!
