skypilot -
Just take a while and get used to the new format.
In many ways it is much more convenient to get to "things" than was the vbulletin product.
One day in is certainly early to be calling it a failure.
I have been on large forums where an upgrade became the atomic bomb of all software changes, and complete history as well as picture galleries were lost forever.
So - take a deep breath, do a little browsing, let the maint crew clean up the spills in the odd aisles, and everything will be good when the dust settles.
Personally, this new format is better - better tools and quicker to get to stuff I want.
There are a couple warts, but I am taking my own advice and we'll see what it looks like when Mr. S says "Its good".
