I'm liking a lot more than the old one, seems to run smoothly, looks nice, the shoutbox is useful as well. I just tried the video embedding feature on the jokes section and that's a lot nicer than the one on the old site.

The functionality I like, the look, I'm not so keen on.

I like it all well enough, the only issue for me is that I used a different theme to this one on the old site. Mine was like a metallic grey with yellow headliners and white text. This darker scheme will take some getting used to.

I would agree with Deadshot, I used the same theme, Mercury I believe it was called, but as I use the site, I'm really liking how much more stuff we can do here compared to PunBB.
The only other thing I don't like is the lack of a "Mark all as read" button.

I'll try and add a new theme similar to that for nostalgia's sake at some point then. You can also mark all of your participated-in threads as read, although that feature doesn't always correctly display all threads you've been in when they are updated.

I miss the width we used to have I feel like most of my screen is being wasted, apart from that it's okay.

I'll look into if we can change the width.
Incidently, do you want me to restart the "Suggestions" thread I made on PunBB that keeps a records of all the ideas and suggestions made as well as what is being done with those ideas and their status? I've lost all the data so I'd be starting from scratch, just want to know if you guys would appreciate it or not give a damn.
As for the forum, I think it's far superior to PunBB but will take a lot of getting used to. Although we have lots of options, we might not want to use them just because we can or we'll risk making it hard to navigate and hard to use.

From my limited experience of running forums, I have to say that punBB was bad for the amount of bots it got, I think that this will probably better for that and perhaps allow lurkers to watch the forum for a while before saying hi. Other than that, I think everything's probably been mentioned.

This does run a lot better, and while lurkers could lurk freely on the old site I feel like this one has a more welcoming appearance, overall.
One note on the width, it's mostly this way to allow for the banner to fit (yes, it's pixilated, but I'm sentimental). It helps if you view the site zoomed in (hold ctrl+mouse wheel or + key usually) by one or two notches above the standard. Even on the old site that is how I viewed it and I find it improves using the forum and reading posts a lot.
